'मस्क मॉडल' का असली खेल | Dr. Purushottam Meghwal
The evolution of business models reveals fascinating shifts in power and control.
We've moved from 'fundamentalist' shareholders to 'paternalist' national champions like Adani, where a trillion-dollar company can be a pillar of national power and geopolitical identity.
However, a more dangerous model has emerged, exemplified by Elon Musk's approach with Tesla and SpaceX. This 'Musk model' involves shareholders surrendering their rights, prioritizing ambition (like Mars exploration) over profit. Investors cede control, and restrictions on selling shares mean the leader remains wealthy, regardless of market fluctuations.
In this system, the founder's rule is absolute, with government backing and investors holding little to no power. It's a system where control is surrendered in exchange for ambition.
