Other car makers have the most beautiful people at the top.

Nissan - ex-CEO is an international fugitive.

Audi - ex-CEO in jail for dieselgate.

Volkswagen - the whole dieselgate cheating scandal

Volkswagen - Diess barely escaped criminal prosecution for not disclosing diselgate early enough

Ford - a new CEO every month

All German car makers - found to fix prices and delay innovation (related to, but not the same as dieselgate)

UAW (representing car workers in US) - a giant corruption scandal, bribed by FCA and embezzling funds, 16 people in jail

Toyota and Stellantis : both CEO currently peddling lies about how transition to EVs will destroy the economy and kill electric grid

GM - Mary Bara lies, on TV, multiple times, about GM being an EV leader, despite GM delivering 26 cars in Q4

But sure, it's Elon's "erratic" behavior that is a problem.

So your complaint against Japanese carmakers is that they aren't trendy enough? Not nearly as bad as the rest of your examples. What about the Koreans?

Elon Musk's calculated disregard for the law is a major problem. It was on view when he built his Berlin factory in a water catchment area.
