Kara Swisher: ‘It Is Jazz Hands Around’ Elon Musk that Run His Companies

‘And some of it‘s chaotic, some of them are run well, but he‘s always got someone behind him’

EXCERPT:

SWISHER: "Well, you know, a lot of it is jazz hands around him. You know, and some of it’s chaotic, some of them are run well, but he’s always got someone behind it. Like at SpaceX, it’s a woman named Gwynne Shotwell or other executives. And often he comes in and he just, you know, overthrows trash cans and says, everybody, we’re going to do everything differently. That’s something he does a lot. I don’t think you can do that in government. You know, at SpaceX, you know, they’ve blown up a lot of rockets to get to where they are. I’m not so sure you can blow up things in the federal government quite as easily without some impact.”
