Almost 100% onboard. The exception is SpaceX.

Obviously I don't know the exact specifics of how they're successful and I don't care.

Leave SpaceX out as the "black sheep", even though they should be the "golden child".

I wish SpaceX continued success and a future of good luck.

SpaceX deserves a CEO who isn't a complete disaster and enemy of the state.

It has Gwynne Shotwell, and she generally does quite well at managing Musk's impact.

Indeed. She must be keeping very busy. I haven't read much about her in a while (since she publicly defended him from sex scandals).

I wonder how she really feels about his spiralling mental illnesses and tragic obsessions (social media, conspiracies, politics). He seems quite useless and irrelevant to any business decisions these days. Just another investor to keep happy.

Imagine how much better the company would be if she didn't have to burn so much of her time and effort on managing and mitigating Musk's chaos.

I think Tesla could also be a company driving positive change if he wasn't cutting costs and pushing stupid products

It can be successful with Musk. Would love to see it separated from him
