Tesla and SpaceX are a couple reasons.

  Extremely different industries, the only web tech job Elon has experience with was X.com where he was a fucking walking nightmare to work with. Seems like he's going the same direction of being a fucking walking nightmare to Twitter. Let's see in some quarters. I have no hopes at all.

    He wasn't exactly known for cars or rockets either.

  I'm impressed by those companies too, but I don't think the experience of running them is very transferable to running a social network. Indeed, having two other big complicated companies to run at the same time is another reason I'm skeptical. He's going to get bored with running such a crappy and pedestrian company and go back to focusing on the better and more interesting ones.
