I have a huge amount of respect for Elon Musk, Tesla, Tesla's vehicles, and
what they've done to advance the EV cause... But Elon Musk is both Tesla's
biggest strength and their biggest liability... Musk should be kept as a
creative force in Tesla, NOT pushed out the way Apple did with Steve Jobs
in 1985.
Well said, David! I couldn't agree more.
Tesla's cars are wonderful. That's what convinces the public to buy
them! Tesla is almost single-handedly swinging the world from ICEs to EVs.
But Wall Street doesn't care if the product is any good. They just want
it to make MONEY! And Tesla isn't making money. Musk is a creative
genius; but he's no engineer, and no businessman. That worries Wall
Street, and attracts vultures in the government and other auto
companies. It's a weakness they can, and *will* exploit.
Jobs had Wozniak at Apple; as a team, they made it happen. Nikola Tesla
had George Westinghouse; again, they needed each other to succeed.
Elon Musk needs to find geniuses with the engineering and business
talents needed for Tesla to succeed. Then take Lee Iacocca's advice for
getting things done: "I hire people brighter than me, then I get out of
their way."
