Trump and Musk as performance art

CEOs do not do work. They have people for that. So do business owners - even small business. All merchants and CEOs do performance, not work. There is a group of people in independent politics who think "we need a businessman." We got what we asked for - a preener rather than a doer. That is what Perot, Bloomberg, Trump and Musk have in common. Let us hope that we have learned our lesson about letting a CEO perform his way into the White House.
