I've started to really notice Elon Musk, the billionaire co-founder of Tesla, larger than life, when he submitted a long form, podcast interview of more than two hours with host and comedian Joe Rogan. As the electric car did not particularly interest me, it never occurred to me to follow the trajectory of his career. It's not that I'm against reducing our carbon footprint; I just know that I'm not responsible enough to keep a properly loaded electric car.
If you followed Musk's latest antics like me, know that he loves detractors traffickers on Twitter. He has little patience for those who do not believe in Tesla and his mission to make the world a better place. Musk is regularly involved in wars on Twitter with investors who have shortened the shares of Tesla (these investors hope to take advantage of the decline in share prices).
To hone his deadly enemies, evil short sellers, Musk tweeted that & # 39; it Tesla would remain private at $ 420 per share (which he admitted later was a reference to weeds designed to make his girlfriend laugh) and had obtained funding. There was a slight problem with this tweet. Musk did not really have the money to privatize the company.
Tesla's price rose after the tweet, the short sellers have covered positions and money lost. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) quickly intervened and Musk fined $ 20 million and forced him to relinquish his title of president.
This Monday, musk removed his honor from Tesla's website and tweeted: "Deleted my Tesla titles last week to see what would happen. I am now the nothing of Tesla. Looks good until now. "

Musk then followed this tweet with: "The officers of a legally required company are president, treasurer and secretary. I imagine that I have to keep the 1st or it will confuse the authorities. "
Once again, Musk has been at the center of a debate that has been going on for some time now, but is emerging: corporate titles do not really matter.
There is little coherence in all areas with regard to titles. For example, in the financial sector, vice president titles are distributed as sweets. When you talk to a stock broker, there is a good chance that he's holding a vice president position. If you are an investor and you talk to a vice-president, it gives the illusion that the person is a big shot and knows what she's talking about – even when she has no idea. In other companies, it is extremely difficult to obtain a vice president title.
I advise job seekers not to worry about the title because you can not pay your mortgage or tuition by saying, "I am Executive Vice President of Widgets Company International." The bank would say, "That's fine, but could you just write a check, please?" "It's more important to accept a position based on opportunities, intellectual challenge, compensation, the ability to progress, the overall environment, prospects for mentors, culture and morale." from the company. The title should be the last thing that concerns you.
An unpleasant by-product of titles is given an unworthy and embarrassing title. It is common for large firms to qualify a "Level III Compliance Analyst" or to qualify an employee as "Level Five". On the other side, the titles have reached a high level of pretension, including the chief evangelist, ccheerleader hief, digital prophet, cofficer hief experience, brand warrior, chief of astonishment, chief idea ambassador, chief of creative operations, buzz ambassador, oracle of inspiration, warlord of ingenuity, lord of security, dDigital marketing magician, magician of light bulb moments, visionary leader and marketing guru.
A grandiose title is a relic from a bygone era. An obnoxious title with a heavy business card is as old as a standard uniform suit, including a dark blue suit, a starched white shirt, a plain tie, and black and shiny brogue shoes. It's a return to a more rigid and hierarchical period, when people left the office for hours for a three martini lunch.
There are few times where it makes sense to have a title. Sometimes in ridiculously large, pretentious and stifling global companies, having a chic title is a necessity. In these types of organizations, if you do not have a certain title, employees will not listen to you and perceive you as unimportant. In addition, in larger companies, the higher the title, the better the benefits, which may include larger bonuses, stock options, golden parachutes and other incentives. reserved for senior executives.
Whether the SEC forces Musk to keep any title or not, by raising this issue, it shows that the titles are worthless. He is the co-founder of Tesla, holds a huge share of his net worth invested in shares and is the public face of the company. What difference would the title make to Musk?
Musk is emblematic of a new era in American companies. You can now wear jeans and a T-shirt instead of a suit. You do not have to be in a corner of the office, but work away from home. There is no need to spend 30 years slowly climbing the corporate ladder to be able to change jobs for a better opportunity. If you do not want to be a business drone, you can start a new business.
Is not it more important what you do and how much you contribute to your business instead of the fancy title on your business card? He draws the curtain to show that the titles are useless traps to feed giant ego. If you are good at what you do, why trust a kind of bland and corporate title? Let the work speak for itself.
