Tesla's not doing so well either. SpaceX is very good at launching (and catching) rockets, but that's mostly Gwynne Shotwell.

- hollerith 2y agoTesla's market cap is 692.15 billion, which is about 692 billion higher than it was when Elon started his involvement with it.
- h0l0cube 2y agoElon is 'successful' when he marshals resources to opening up new wealth markets (e.g., space, electric vehicles), but leaves those resources alone enough to actually get the job done. SpaceX is full of brilliant minds well attuned to their domain enough that Elon can't really interfere with technical operations. What he often does, is what most other CEOs don't, is entertains more ambitious and risky ideas, and he knows just enough to make worthwhile bets. On the other side of the spectrum is Twitter, where he knows just enough to interfere with everything. Tesla sits in the middle.
