Keeping the Chesterton fences in an established organization was something Musk was particularly ill-suited for. While some ossified companies can benefit from new management, things will only get worse if they throw the baby out with the bathwater. Musk's successes started out as greenfield projects that benefited from ignoring how the incumbents did things, but those days are over for him. Another thing Musk was ill-suited for was being the guy that did the mass layoffs. In the earlier days of Tesla and SpaceX, most talented engineers would at least be intrigued by a job offer from Musk. He had a knack for finding brilliant people who could make his mad schemes a reality. But now he seems to embrace the darker side of his cavalier persona (while also flirting with demagoguery), which has alienated a huge portion of the talent pool that all of his companies rely on.
