It's not really hard to tell if he's doing a good job, he's clearly not.
Losing nearly half of revenue in only a few months, adding crippling debt payments, stiffing employees on their severance, refusing to pay rent and other services, plus countless other debacles make it clear this is a dysfunctional company. Network effects and resilient architecture can keep a company humming along for some time despite incompetent management, but those resources will get depleted and they are hard to regain.
I'm not saying Elon is doing a good job, all signs point to the opposite. He probably though so too when he announced to step down from CEO (though that has yet to happen). But if he was doing a good job, it would also be really hard to tell in this phase. I don't think we are far enough into this to draw any good conclusions.
