I don't know man. His last pure software company was PayPal and they fired his ass from the role and put in a competent CEO (Peter Theil) to right the ship and sell it off before the 01 crash.
Tesla and SpaceX have been wildly successful and he will forever recieve some well deserved credit for their successes but at the same time I think its pretty bad that Tesla (and SpaceX) have had multiple near death experiences and some them could have been avoided if it weren't for incompetence.
I followed the Model 3 production religiously and the amount of dumb mistakes they made even after other industry experts were yelling at them about imminent iceberg collision is just unbelievable. In fact the Model 3 production, with its horribly designed body that he wasn't keeping on top of and Musk's stupid attempts to automate all of assembly should be entirely attributed to him. It was so bad it was worse than even the shortseller's worst predictions.
I guess you can give him a pass for near bankruptcy #1(Roadster roll out) and #4(COVID lockdowns). Not sure about #2(Model S early sales woes and potential acquisition by Google)
All I am saying is that he fucks up A LOT and has thus far managed to stave off the consequences of his decisions but many occurrences have been down to luck and luck is something you should never bet on.
