    Elon failed at scaling businesses. He lucked out at the start, and people think he’s a genius due to survivorship bias, but tesla is going down the drain, even if it had an extremely good position in the market. SpaceX is doing alright I suppose, but didn’t achieve many of the ambitious goals Elon said would happen, like the mars stuff, if not cancelled, then very delayed. The boring Company is a failure. Twitter is a failure. Solar roofs were a failure. Neuralink is a failure.

    Employees talk about how they constantly have to tip-toe around him, and basically psychologically manipulate him to do the right thing. I think SpaceX just has really good managers that manage not the employees, but Elon himself. Whenever he gets full reign in a company, it falls apart.

      Exactly so. The successful companies he’s involved in are largely successful despite him, not because of him
