I'd prefer a self-managed company, the whole rises with the top, i find hard to believe that a lack of democratic control in the workplace is the best option over the thousands of different (hybrid )forms of self-management.
Worse than c.e.o.s is those who earn money while sleeping, simply for investing(, you can buy a.n house/debt/action and sell it at a higher price later if you find a buyer, but you've not "earned" a rent from real workers in the meantime, that's a (parasitic/useless )theft i.m.o., maintaining a class of non-workers above the others).
And where's the free&fair competition ? That'll lead to monopolies, and there's more inequalities among the salaries from private entreprise's than public ones, which also have(had) better advantages/'working conditions', because back then we considered that social benefits and working conditions ought to improve, not regress like we're assuming nowadays by saying we lived beyond our means in the past. And even if private interests were solely guided by the need to invest more productively(, they should be controlled and ~punished when they don't, if we want the theories to work), there should be a control to verify that their decisions are virtuous, since you can often make more money by giving up on doing good(, negative externalities).
Look at spacex they are more efficient then nasa
there's an exception to the rule
What do you base that on?
Spacex has had zero successful missions to Mars. NASA has landed 5 rovers.
Well one metric would be cost per kg to get something into space. I also recall a lot of people dying when NASA first started going into space, of which SpaceX has not had any rockets explode with people in them, but I'm not impaired enough to make that false equivalence like you did with Mars.
Of course my comment is false equivalence, because the initial assertion is false equivalence.
You can't compare NASA and Spacex because they have different goals. NASA even contract many of their payloads to Spacex, which they wouldn't do if they were in the same business.

Even if the are more efficient, they earned the regarding profit for a small number of people, who has to much. For the society it is a loose loose. The services become more expensive and it lead to a redistribution of wealth from poor to rich, whitch is even worse for the society and the economy.
