Jack Welch, the "brilliant" business man who almost single handily destroyed GE.

Like Carly Fiorina, who destroyed HP.

And there's always Elon Musk, who would probably best save or improve his reputation now by blasting off in his SpaceX and never returning.

As an autistic person I am embarrassed by Elon Musk.

As a fellow neurodivergent like you, I do not think someone like Musk is the best spokesperson for neurodivergent people.

However, Musk is just simply a spoiled brat and wealthy snob who just goes nuts with his agenda.

I worked for GE under Wlesh and Jeff Immelt. They were both douchebags, but GE survived them.

GE is no longer a company as of Apriln2024.

Weird. I didn't know that. I see that it was broken into three separate companies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric:

GE's final CEO Larry Culp announced in November 2021 that General Electric was to be broken up into three separate, public companies—GE Aerospace, GE HealthCare, and GE Vernova—by 2024. The new companies are respectively focused on aerospace, healthcare, and energy. GE HealthCare's spin-off was finalized on January 4, 2023. This was followed by the spin-off of GE's portfolio of energy businesses on April 2, 2024, into GE Vernova. Following these transactions, General Electric Company changed its trading name to GE Aerospace, pivoted to aviation, and ceased to exist as a conglomerate.
