The Tesla Mess Was Right In Front of Us All Along

Musk says he's cracking under the stress of the Tesla job...

...and the SpaceX job,

and the Boring Co. job,

and, previously, the SolarCity job.

Your CEO must have only 1 job.

THIS IS BAD GOVERNANCE and the Tesla Board of Directors is at fault.  It's 101, so obvious. 

Silicon Valley has a habit, a culture, of flouting governance norms in the name of supporting "founder" personalities (see Dorsey, Jack) and it's wrong.  Shareholders deserve what they get.

The End of the Cult of Musk?

Ambien?

"No one reviewed my tweet"...?

Utter, rank garbage.  This is not the behavior of a CEO and the Board should remove Musk.  They should have done so awhile ago, but Tesla has a supine BoD for a reason, because Tesla is the plaything of a charlatan and their role is to preserve that.

I've said it so many times before, Musk is a charlatan.  Years from now we'll look back on him no differently from Ken Lay or Elizabeth Holmes.  And Tesla will owned by GM, Ford (or Saudi Arabia).
