Who could be more different than Elon Musk and “Weird Al” Yankovic? Yet both are in the news, Yankovic because of his new parody biopic and Musk because of Twitter.

I totally agree. Musk may be a “tranformational leader,” simply because he “transforms” his leadership teams by transitioning them right out the door.
Nothing substantial to add – just popping in to say I love Weird Al’s music! I too have done a lot of “on the job training” for white and nerdy 🙂

Great article. You’re right – I’d rather work for the nice guy!!!
