You really think Mr. Musk could take a month off starting tomorrow with no advance notice to SpaceX or Tesla with no ramifications? These are C Corps with boards, investors, and other stakeholders that wouldn't turn a blind eye to that. Musk is not a deity who can do whatever he wants. He can be fired just like anyone else who clocks in and out of a day job--only difference is who pulls the trigger.

I did not say that. I said that it was his choice, not that such a choice would not have consequences. But he has the choice and that makes him different. The vast majority of employees do not have a choice. Elon can reduce the amount of his time spent on SpaceX or anything else without drastic impact on his person or his family. Employees cannot.
