If you read the history, it sounds like many of his... dysfunctions... go back to the start of his business career, and the latest debacles look a lot like stuff that went down at PayPal/X.com over 20 years ago; where it sounds like he got evicted and Peter Thiel had to clean up the mess.
And in fact this X.com renaming sounds like him dealing with personal baggage and vendettas from back then.
Basically the opposite of the stoic and calculating personality one expects a giant of capitalism to be.
So I actually just wonder if it's more than there was a 10 year period of Musk... getting lucky... by surrounding himself with some competence. That, and the investing world after 2008, with its intensely low interest rates and high tech-sector profits made it easy to "swim naked."
The efforts of a narcissistic showman Dunning-Kruger personality like Musk... are a great place to dump your money as long as you're not the last one holding the bag when shit hits the fan (aka Twitter).
