This hits a nail on the head for me.<p>I have nuanced/mixed feelings about X, Tesla, and SpaceX. They are all products that have moved past the “because it’s different” disruption stages. But in each case, I’m intrigued and supportive by certain aspects still, especially SpaceX.<p>But the “Brand of Elon Musk” I want nothing to do with. Just absolutely nothing. The man is unhinged and attached to way too much unchecked power.
There is always a demand problem when your MVP product is being compared against the existing incumbents.<p>Tesla cars are the MVPs being compared to existing automotives just like the Model T was the MVP being compared to horse carriages.<p>That said Elon could do an even better job of inspiring his employees on the vision if the premise of this post is indeed true.
The trouble with getting rid of Musk from an investor point of view is his vision/hype/bs/skill/whatever keeps the stock valued at many times the price/earnings of other car companies.<p>Maybe if the stock crashes the board/investors would say au revoir.
