When turning around a company, it's not uncommon strategy to move fast even if it creates a little chaos. There's been business books written about it. Some call it chaos theory. The new ceo comes in makes some important early decisions, stirs the pot a little. Meanwhile, the things needing to get done get done. When dealing with a large or semi-large organization that has a strong built-in stasis, not sure there is a better way.
And, to be sure, Musk has gotten alot done in just a short time. He cut expenses, did a re-org of the company, and even did some product improvements, all while overseeing a massive document dump via the Twitter files in the interest of transparency. We can debate relative significance of all these things, but these are not trivial things.
