But if not here is a description of some of his accomplishments, $20.2 billion dollar net worth, co-founder of X.com (currently is known as PayPal), founder of SpaceX ($20 billion value), co-founder and CEO of Tesla, and many more. Elon has been probably one of the more controversial people within his own companies and the media. &#8220;[Musk] is very, very demanding, and it&#8217;s not the right speed for a lot of people,&#8221; said Tesla&#8217;s VP of PR, Ricardo Reyes. &#8220;He pushes really hard, and it&#8217;s mission driven. It&#8217;s constant activity. He used to say that he wanted only &#8216;special forces&#8217; working for him. No normal people.&#8221; This quote shows Elon not only not showing respect for his workers but is implying they are not good enough because they are &#8220;normal people&#8221;. Musk is a smart business man and that is not up for debate. But, knowing he&#8217;s such a business wiz he should know that unions for workers are a positive thing, right? But after a ex-employee came out about the bad working conditions at SpaceX he quickly sent out a email. That email stated that SpaceX is a &#8220;fun&#8221; place to work and recommended that the workers do not unionize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that Elon is one of the most influential business people in the world, and one of the best in perfecting a product. He only see&#8217;s the negative in his products. He says this is great for making products, but not good for his happiness. But, to the point of the debate, is he a good leader. I think not. Yes, he does lead by example, but only to a select few. Also, to throw his teammates under the bus is not what good leaders do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think everyone who either watches TV or has social media knows who Elon Musk is.
