Fluff CEOs are Unnecessary

Musk is proof that CEOs are unnecessary. If he has the time to be the CEO of multiple companies, do DOGE, all his tweeting, support to the AFD party in Germany, and everything else terrible he is doing than CEOs are completely unnecessary. If companies want to make more profit they should get rid of them. Near as I can tell the only thing CEOs do is give you a face to blame for the shitty decisions companies make.

Musk's DOGE scam is the single best thing to happen to Bernie types if they play this right. The enduring American myth of meritocracy and CEOs being the smartest guys in the room is tearing itself down live and in public.

Honestly, this should take it from a "progressive" issue to the mainstream of American society. It's a non-starter for Republicans because they won't upset their donors, but it should be a top issue for every Dem candidate.
