Have you ever heard him talk about his businesses? He knows them all in depth to a degree that any CEO might aspire to. He knows the engineering challenges SpaceX faces and has a really solid grasp of the science involved. Same with Tesla etc etc. Others no doubt do the "running" but he is far from simply a figurehead.
Honest question - how in the world does Elon find time to do so much tweeting, while still running multiple huge businesses?
The US Military runs his businesses and he is just a figurehead.

"Any CEO" is a pretty low bar tbh
