Tl,dr: Musk is irratic and has no plan, per a journalist who has covered him for five years.

    I truly don’t understand how Musk’s other companies made it so far if this is how he was running them. Was he always this poor of an executive?

      Most of them have people and procedures for dealing with him. Twitter appears to have had no such luck.

      As far as I can remember, yes. I graduated with a degree in EE in 2015 and considered trying to apply at SpaceX, but after hearing some anecdotal stories of long ruthless work hours decided against it. I don’t think his companies are well known for a great work life balance nor workers feeling like much other than another cog in the machine. They still did some great work though.
