In a recent discussion on YouTube, host Rick Rudman about Sanders’ leadership spirit on the gridiron draws a parallel with Elon Musk in the world of business.

His bold statements are met with skepticism owing to the underwhelming performance of the Buffaloes in the last season. Critics in the media wasted no time in mocking the head coach while dismissing his words as mere bravado. In this regard, Rudman highlighted the lessons he learned from Musk’s approach to leadership.

Similar to Sanders, Musk too faced doubts from the business media. However, by committing himself to distorting reality, and pushing his engineers and manufacturers to the last limit, he met the targets and earned the promised $58 billion compensation package. Similarly, having a charge over the Buffaloes,  Coach Prime is going to extract the best from each player.
