One thing to remember is that these companies are ones that he's effectively just bought, he's not necessarily bootstrapped them and dictated how they should operate and organize, we don’t know how involved he is. The only things I've really heard from him as a leader are from Tesla - demanding people work longer hours, forcing employees to work during covid, union busting and stuff like that. So this suggests that either - he is publicly brash and careless, but privately very efficient and savvy - or his companies get shit done without his involvement, or despite his attempts at getting involved rather than because of them.
