> Being a public company CEO doesn't suit him.
That's one perspective, and the other perspective is that despite his public company CEO flaws, he's still overall very suited. I don't personally know which of the two is truer. Most HN readers probably aren't in a position to know if someone is a good public company CEO, maybe you are. But it seems worth noting that saying that someone isn't suited from their job likely comes from a position of knowing far less about what it means to be suited at their job than they (Musk) know, with the exception of the highly public aspects of their job.
So most people can say that he doesn't seem that suited at the highly public aspects of being a public company CEO, but he may be so well suited to the other aspects that those aspects massively dominate, making him overall an excellent public company CEO.
