> If anything, this could be a good thing for Tesla as it might attract other owner/operator expertise to the firm.

Would another owner/operator really be successful? Musk is probably the only person who could have received so much investment and goodwill over so many years without becoming profitable. And Tesla is going to need to continue to raise money for a while.

If a boring guy from an established car company had been in charge, investors would have run out of patience years ago.
