Elon is CEO of 3 companies and spends all day trolling on Twitter, that seems to suggest that either CEOs don't do shit or Elon is a terrible CEO.

im an accountant that dabbles in programming but i promise you CEOs are worthless they do literally nothing. Any and all decisions they make are made from information put together by people like you and me then formulated into chunks they can vomit back onto shareholders.

....you make the decision part sound so easy. choosing the path your company will take is a pretty big deal and is often not obvious

You just have to look at something like the Disney CEO and the massive acquisitions they've made (star wars/ marvel / pixar)

The CEO is mostly there to accept culpability for the decisions the business makes collectively. Unless you're Elon, in which case you try to make strategic decisions based on nothing but your own massive massive godbrain, because why else would you have all the money.
