That he used his concern to guilt people to work over a holiday isn't a net positive. Good, effective leaders do not act that way.

Irony here being that Musk is clearly a good, effective leader by any metric.
Getting results, short term, isn't being an effective leader. Effective leaders do what they say and don't take insane risks that have no way of paying off.

Getting things done != leadership.

He's been leading SpaceX from success to success for 20 years now, or a quarter of the average American lifespan, a bit absurd to suggest that's "short term".
