Weak fix; his is better

But he's not on first

We can compromise with this:

Old.. but still.....

Maybe she knew exactly what he was saying but was just joking around.
Supposedly this is a thing

Of course she knew

How would the company operate efficiently without such rules?

How could America thrive under Donald Trump?

This makes me think about the people who'd kill for the (perceived?) opportunity to be a direct-report to Elon Musk, I'll pass. It's certainly unparalleled, but not just in a good way. My arteries deserve better and YOLO translates into other life choices for me.

In which industry should someone be able to just defy instructions from the boss? He is not shutting down discussion about it, but ignoring it is not acceptable. How else can a company operate?

Are they his direct reports? If not, he shouldn't be circumventing the hierarchy; it makes a company very inefficient.

This is a good point.

Agreed. If I miss an email from my boss I'm not expected to resign. Then again, I don't report to a crazy CEO of an Fortune 100 company.

I imagine he's referring to his direct reports.

ETA: Come to think of it, maybe the Tweet is saying something different. In the rare event where Musk (or any CEO for that case) breaks rank and stoops down to a manager to address what is ostensibly a business issue, that manager who doesn't directly report to the CEO (or interact with them regularly) should take such communication very seriously and address it in one of the three ways Musk suggests.

If they are not they can point that out as him being plain wrong.

Nope:

1. Email me back to explain why what I said was incorrect. Sometimes, I’m just plain wrong!

He's suggesting that the instruction might be incorrect (perhaps based on flawed assumptions, or that protocol and/or common sense dictate a different plan of action), not that his chain-of-command violation might be incorrect.

I would imagine a missed email wouldn't be included as long as the person explains themselves.
