A month ago, I would have said this is naive. That, for all his ego, 420 jokes, and poor estimation of project timelines, he's mostly run Tesla very well, with a coherent, long-term vision, and delivered quite substantially -- even if very behind schedule. But seeing how eratically he's run Twitter in his first month it's clear he has no idea what he's doing. Whatever you may think about his "4d chess" plans in regards to the moves he's making, if they were good long term ideas he wouldn't be backpedalling on them constantly, it's as simple as that. I don't know whether his success at Tesla is a facade and all attributable to other, smarter people keeping him inline - or if he's just good at running a car company and bad at running a social media company, or what. And I'm not even saying he can't turn this disaster around eventually. But as it stands now it's clear he's not thinking about his decisions at Twitter before he makes them. It's kinda funny we ended up with the ultimate 'tweet before you think'-er owning and running Twitter.
