Reply to comment by ThestralDragon in Competitors chip away at Tesla's US electric vehicle share by Sorin61

There’s quite a bit to it, but that is a bold question considering what is happening to Twitter at the moment.

It's not really a bold question, sure he's running twitter into the ground, overestimated his own competence( believing his own hype) going Into the twitter bid, that doesn't mean Tesla has not been a success under him.

Elon has a history of jumping into young companies at the right time and riding that momentum. That had also previously given him clout, so that his investments were blindly followed by other investors on name recognition alone. But considering what he’s done with crypto and Twitter and how he’s running his personnel and so on, his name is starting to have the opposite effect and people want to get away. Elon isn’t some brilliant leader or inventor. He’s an investor with a simple physics degree.

Tesla was bound to take off, and I’d argue that it would be a lot further along if Musk had just invested and not interfere with shit.
