By all accounts, he's not a normal person. To quote the man himself: "To anyone I've offended, I just want to say: I re-invented electric cars and I'm sending people to Mars in a rocket ship. Did you also think I was gonna be a chill, normal dude?"[a]
He was never going to come in and execute a conventional "first, don't kill the patient" kind of plan. The upshot is that yes, there's a real chance the patient will die a horrible death, but we don't know if that's what will actually happen yet... so I'm waiting to pass judgment.

Private equity/hedge funds would just have found someone boring to follow their well-established playbook. https://twitter.com/yishan/status/1593515620942815232 https://twitter.com/yishan/status/1593515620942815232
