Musk is not a good example. Tesla is in flames and there is worry it could affect SpaceX which is the more important company. The Boring Company also seems like a pivotal waste.

I think Tesla is a big, risky bet. But he has delivered a lot more than Dorsey has.

Musk took over Tesla in 2008, which was two years later than Twitter was founded.

In that time Twitter has:

  Stopped crashing all the time

  Increased the Tweet size from 140 characters to 280 characters.
I'm no Musk apostle, but it seems to me he's done a bit more than that.

The Boring Company went from digging tunnels for under ground roads for lorries to flame throwers.
