I think Jeff Bezos is the most talented CEO currently around. He is the rare CEO that has off the charts vision combined with off the charts ability to execute. I am glad he is invested in space travel.

Have you heard of Elon musk?

Elon Musk is a meme.

The guy who failed at Neuralink and the Boring Company?

Might have to add Tesla to the above sentence, depending on if they run out of cash this year or not.

No doubt he has vision and the ability to execute. I’m a huge fan. We wouldn’t have electric cars on the road, wouldn’t have AI-assisted driver tech for consumers and would be paying Russians to launch satellites for us if it weren’t for him. He also makes bold statements and doesn’t always deliver on time. Bezos tends to keep things closer to the vest. Both have changed the world. The perception that Bezos doesn’t often over-promise and under-deliver or at least deliver late after talking big is probably why some people see him as a more competent CEO.

Neither Neuralink, The Boring Company, nor Tesla has 'failed' yet.

Musk is certainly talented, but is he a talented CEO? Perhaps, but Bezos unquestionably is in my eye.

You mean the guy that confounded PayPal?

What's this obsession with people seeing some failures and using them to sum up a person? Many of the greatest also failed at times...
