Recently, it has come to light that Elon Musk has stepped back from his usual role of overseeing all operations occurring at the Starbase development facility. Initially, seemed like Elon Musk has finally given up on Starbase, and had shifted his focus elsewhere, on a different facility. But in all honesty, that is almost impossible. Starbase has some of the best available facilities in the country, and it is developed specially to cater to the needs of the Starship program. This begs the question, why did Elon Musk step back from Starbase? Well, the answer is quite different from the one we initially thought. The real reason is because of Musk’s latest business venture. We all know that recently, Elon Musk took over and bought Twitter, one of the world’s biggest and most popular social networks for a reported 44 billion dollars! Now that is insane amount of money. Naturally, when you spend so much money on something you would want to give it some time and focus so that you ensure that it remains the social giant it was when Musk bought the company. That is the reason why he left Starbase, to focus on his new baby, Twitter. This is not something new, as previously Musk was already dividing time between his other companies, the mega-successful Tesla, and his other company, the Boring Company. Being the owner of such huge companies would obviously mean you would need to divide time amongst them so that each one of them grows and gets better. That being said, it is pretty obvious that it is impossible for one person to manage everything. That is why people in such high positions employ highly qualified individuals that can share some of the workloads.
You must be wondering, why is that so. And what leadership changes is SpaceX about to bring? Well, stick around till the end as we answer these questions!
