Essay | The Real Story of Musk’s Twitter Takeover
Isaacson tells the story of Musk and paying $44 billion for Twitter, how all these birds have to go. Of Musk seeing the words "psychological safety" at Twitter and being take aback. Mental wellbeing, worklife balance were not his thing, says Isaacson. A failed acquisition, conversion and renaming of Paypal, led Musk to Twitter as a way to create a site that does all things including payments and social media. Contrast Musk with Carlos Tavares, CEO of European EV automaker Stellantis who makes worklife balance part of his way of running the company, and one sees a shocking contrast in a war of ideas of what is the most productive and what makes productive employees.

The wild swings and temperamental nature of such leadership. The lack of worklife balance, health and mental wellbeing consciousness which are the true drivers for productivity. A comparison between the old Italian driven Sergio Marchionne and new worklife balance respecting Portuguese CEO's of carmaker Stellantis Carlos Tavares Dias shows the opposite role models. The old CEO of Fiat Chrysler Marchionne and Musk have similarities. Marchionne was a heavy smoker who worked very long hours and neglected healthy living and worklife balance leading to having to resign because of ill health. It shows that lack of attention to healthy lifestyle and worklife balance has consequences. Tavares Dias has learned a lot from this and respects worklife balance and healthy living.

WSJ 08/31/2023
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
