It's amazing what competent people can achieve once they stop being micromanaged by a narcissist.

  What's amazing is how people on HN can be so ignorant. Look at Tesla sales growth over the last 10 years. Its pretty consistent. You can not look at that growth and say 'look here is where Musk got distracted'. Also, the success now, is because of the technology and investment work done 3-5 years ago. Not liking a person is fine, Musk has issues, but there is no reason to drop your brain when evaluating business numbers.

    It's amazing how you switched metrics from production numbers to sales numbers to make a point. Nevermind the number of unrealized buyers who are passing on the brand because of it's toxic leadership, but perhaps you can switch metrics again to counter this point?

      The difference between production and sales is literally utterly and completely irrelevant in regards to the argument you made. How you can even think that matters in this context is beyond me. > Nevermind the number of unrealized buyers who are passing on the brand because of it's toxic leadership, but perhaps you can switch metrics again to counter this point? What could have happened in some other theoretical universe that only exists in your imagination is utterly irrelevant.

        My original comment pertains to how employees can execute on a mission, not how a market will respond to what they produce. Meaning while increases in morale can be conducive to higher productivity, someone working in a factory can't control what they produce.
