A boss asking you what you did all week, once a week isn't micro management. Can you think of any job where you don't update your boss at least once a week.

Is the hierarchy totally flat apart from Musk now? I don’t email the CEO of the multinational that I work for weekly updates.
Right.

But then most multinational companies haven't been loosing millions of $ every day.

I've worked for two multinational companies (or ones I would consider such). I was on a first name basis with both CEO's. They weren't overbearing, but I knew them as people I could go to if I really needed to.

He's more hands on than most CEO's.

Don't get me wrong, working for Musk sounds like hell for someone who gives a crap about his work/life balance. But, I don't find the idea of emailing a status report weekly, overbearing.
