I liked Musk, more or less, when he was the PT Barnum of EVs and reusable rockets. That guy at least had a set of guide rails he stayed between

And was relatively competent at the job.

This guy is that guy without the guide rails and is a perfect example of not knowing when to listen to others.

It's not surprising, though, since he has to answer to a BoD at Tesla and SpaceX, but not at Twitter.

Also, I still love my Tesla and think the company makes a great product. I hope it can rebound. If Musk needs to go to make that happen, I'm fine with that.

There's a time line of his disembling into EvilElon starting with his wife leaving him...maybe he's doing a Kanye -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 17, 21:43
see my comment below, it's possibly because he has no understanding of how corporate culture works outside of that which he has created himself. -- (link*) - znufrii Nov 17, 20:25 [Backboard] 3
- there's also a survivor bias to the extent that Tesla owners only experience the finished product on the road and have no idea what shitshow process - hollywood big shot Nov 17, 20:31 2
  - I'm not saying TSLA isn't objectively a shitshow, but the people who (currently) work there are at least used to it being a shitshow. - znufrii Nov 17, 20:38
  - (if NHTSA and NTSB didn't have strict regs that all automakers have to comply with, every chance that Telsas would have ended up as Twittermobiles) -- nm - hollywood big shot Nov 17, 20:33
