Of course there will be die-hard Musk enemies, who will use either conflicting explanation as long as it paints him in a bad light, but the rest of the criticism might come from entirely different groups of people, some of which believe he's actively running his companies, some that things just happen without his doing and he lucked out (or in Twitter's case, potentially had some bad luck, but I think it's to early to decide that in any case).
