Elon Musk is undoubtedly one of the greatest geniuses and entrepreneurs of today, but, as already commented on many occasions, his behavior and attitudes make him a real despot.
This is something that those who have worked for him have, which is causing a serious internal problem in all his companies, either Tesla or Spacex. This, as you can imagine, causes many to wonder who is able to work with such a person, despite everything. Of course not everything is worth.
The big problem is that, since he assumed the control of X, Elon Musk quickly learned that directing several technology companies not only involves great economic challenges to prevent them from sinking, but also a huge human wear.
In a report of Financial Timesbased on interviews with current and old employees, many coincide with the same thing: Musk burns their seconds under command almost with the same strength and speed with which he drives his companies forward. This is why, and despite everything, that It is not uncommon for those who have responsibility in making key decisions end up exhausted or fleeing from Musk.
A former financial official of his AI startup, XAI, Mike Liberatore, left the company after just three months for the level of demand: «I worked 102 consecutive days, seven days a week, more than 120 hours each week,» he explained on LinkedIn.
But be careful because this is worse and it is not just a matter of schedules; The tension extends to personal relationships. Robert Keele, formerly at XAI, commented that his decision to leave the company came motivated because «I loved my two young children and did not see them enough.» The culture of work to the edge of the collapse there is no doubt that it ends up frightening them all.
As if that were not enough, All that political moment of Musk has also caused a great stampede. That has supported with such force political positions quite peliagudas in the United States and Europe has caused many to fear confronting him.
Continuing with the statements, an anonymous advisor cited by Financial Times He commented that what nobody can deny is the speed with which Musk «burns» his assistants and the unbearable tension of the work rhythm: «People jokes about ‘Tesla Time’: 24/7, without truce. It is not for everyone.»
Although Elon always defends that this type of work or even decide who leaves and who stays is necessary to prevent their companies from making millionaire losses. However, nOr there is no doubt that not everything is worth and you have to count on the human factor.
For experts, all these companies are a laboratory of what it means leading the limit: a style that can generate rapid successes, but destroys continuity and business culture. Without this it seems that, within a not too distant future, everything will fall by its own weight.
Elon Musk’s biographer reveals his multiple personalities and his most demonic moments
Precisely Walter Isaacson, Musk’s biographer, is someone who knows him very well and has already recognized multiple occasions the personality so eccentric and dangerous he has. According to this, Musk is not a single -face individual, but a man with multiple personalities who come out in various situations.
Throughout three years of research, Isaacson discovered that Elon Musk can change from being «an incredibly concentrated engineer» to a dark and terrifying figure, and the most amazing thing is that «he often» remembers it. »
«When I started this book, when we talked about it for the first time, this was the guy who was taking us to the era of electric vehicles and the only person who could send US astronauts to orbit from the United States. I thought: ‘Hey, good history about technology’,» says Isaacson in an interview.
«And then, on the way, approximately one year after starting writing, buy Twitter secret and then goes to Hawaii to take a binge of two or three nights and decides to take care of it,» he adds.
Isaacson confirmed that although his technological contributions are transforming entire industries, his person is presented in all his complexity, exploring the «multiple moods» and the moments in which it can be «reckless and even dangerous».
«It will go from being very dizzy or being in Engineering mode, where you can decipher the valve of an engine for its rocket, and suddenly the clouds come,» he continued. «And the surprising thing is that, after he has become dark and has been like a demon and really hard with people, he will recover. And then I ask: ‘What was that?’ And as soon as he remembers. «
