OK, so maybe when Musk was attending to his day job, he was a really good CEO who made all the right decisions for his company. It could happen. But Musk made himself the face of Tesla, and then he ran DOGE, and engaged in gleeful cruelty and a level of lying second only to Trump. So now the "face of Tesla" is seen everywhere as a horrible person. I don't think Musk's purported management smarts are going to be enough to right the company.

Truth is, he wasn’t that good of a CEO, his edge lord and tech-bro fandom is a large factor for the wildly overvalued TSLA stock.

Now, his warts are all front and center. Honestly, I do not think this will help Tesla in the near, medium, or long term.

He’s torched any goodwill he had.

Good

The board needs to fire him. That's the only thing that has a chance to save their asses.

I don't see how he could, he was too busy gutting Twitter to run it, and gutting our government through Tangeranus.
