Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiI think Elon Musk is more of a leader. He tends to demonstrate visionary leadership qualities while also challenging established norms and conventions, showing elements of rebellion. Moreover, despite his high-profile role and public persona, Musk has often described himself as an introvert. He tends to be more reserved and introspective, preferring to focus on his work rather than seeking out social interactions.
(Tôi nghĩ Elon Musk thiên về một nhà lãnh đạo hơn. Anh ta có xu hướng thể hiện phẩm chất lãnh đạo có tầm nhìn xa đồng thời thách thức các chuẩn mực và quy ước đã được thiết lập, thể hiện những yếu tố nổi loạn. Hơn nữa, mặc dù có vai trò nổi bật và cá tính trước công chúng, Musk thường tự mô tả mình là một người hướng nội. Anh ấy có xu hướng dè dặt và sống nội tâm hơn, thích tập trung vào công việc hơn là tìm kiếm các tương tác xã hội.)
