one hundred billion US dollars. In addition, he is the CEO and chairman of companies such as
Tesla and SpaceX, amongst others. This indicates that he is in charge of directing the activities of
thousands of employees working for those firms, and that he is the focus of attention for all of
the shareholders of those companies. Because of this, Elon Musk is an exceptionally vital and
significant person, and the things he says affect an enormous group of people who follow him. In
addition to this, we have a propensity to embark on an universe that is condensed by the words
and assertions that are generated on social media. Therefore, a person who has a disciple
following that is about sixty million strong on Twitter alone must exercise extreme caution when
it comes to the use of language in public settings. In addition to this, it is essential for a good
leader to have the ability to learn from the errors they have made in the past. It has been
proposed that Elon Musk should reflect on the consequences of his unpredictable conduct on
social media in the past, watch and evaluate those consequences, and proceed with extreme
caution in the future. According to Maxwell, "If you intend to lead, you have to utilise your
ears." [Citation needed] Throughout the course of my time spent in leadership roles, I've had
several opportunities to gain insight into this principle. In point of fact, when I was a young
leader, my first concern was to articulate my ideas and persuade people to buy into them. I used
to pay less attention to others' comments and criticism, and I wasn't as interested in finding out
what others had to say (Morse, 2019). It is essential that those in positions of authority in today's
environment behave in a responsible manner since they are held accountable for the images they
project to the rest of the population. We are entering a period in which people generally consider
it is something that should be recognised, and political leaders should respond appropriately. One
piece of advice that we may provide is to adjust our attitude toward the obstacles. If he had
considered every one of them to be an expensive failure and a significant loss of money, then
with that mentality, Elon Musk may have decided to quit up. However, the perspective that he
embraced, which was to regard the errors not as errors but rather as chances, is one that should
be adopted Mistakes are often seen from a more optimistic and constructive viewpoint as
learning opportunities that might help the long-term success of a product in a manner comparable
to that of others. Regarding the unsuccessful outcomes of a number of products and ventures that
Musk was launching (the rockets and a few automobile models), the solution is to stick with
what has been successful in the past while drawing from the lessons that have been learned.
"How was he able to prevail despite the perilous circumstances? By following his advice to the
letter and returning to the factory floor of the manufacturing facility, where one must often spend
the night in an effort to meet stringent output quotas, one might achieve success. And it was
successful. Despite facing a number of challenges, the company was able to drastically expand
production of its more reasonably priced Model 3, which contributed to Tesla into the black and
causing its stock value to skyrocket into the stratosphere. (Zetlin, 2020). If Musk had listened to
his own counsel from the beginning and spent more time working on the product rather than
focusing on other aspects of the firm, it is possible that his failures might have been avoided or at
least minimised to some degree.Instead, he was required to pay the corporation a significant
amount of time and money to restore that value. If Elon Musk makes the product his primary
concern in the years to come, he will almost certainly enjoy more success. As soon as Musk gave
users the option to discuss controversial or insensitive topics on Twitter, he began to have an
effect on the perspectives of a large number of individuals. One possible course of action for this
scenario is to draught an apology. When he appeared on Saturday Night Live, when he had the
opportunity, he passed it up in favour of something else. If he were to take responsibility for his
actions and publicly apologise to people he has hurt, those individuals could be willing to forgive
him and respect him more, which would eventually be beneficial to his company.
