Elon's huge personality was great for Tesla in the early-mid days. He had a way of making headlines that made Tesla a household name without having a marketing department.
But these days, he's absolutely toxic for the long-term success of the company. His firing of the entire Supercharger team right when all the other manufacturers were adopting NACS is nothing short of lunacy.
Then there's the pushing of unpopular things like removing the stalks on the steering wheel in favor of touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel for turn signals and swiping on the center screen to switch between Park/Reverse/Drive, not to mention the entire debacle of the Cybertruck.
What worries me the most is that Tesla's Musk-led implosion will make other manufacturers see it as some sort of proof that EVs aren't viable and cancel their developments.
Elon needs to go. He's become poison, killing everything he touches.
