I don't see why Elon isn't more direct about addressing the company's early history. Why not say "I had to ditch the original founder of Tesla for various reasons, then work really hard to get our first car out at a quality level requisite for the future success of the firm. That's what happens when you lose the confidence of the board and your biggest investor, tough luck". The article is quite interesting overall. However, it is very Eberhard centric and does a poor job of detailing the substantial challenges Elon faced getting the first car successfully manufactured, as well as the financial challenges and the US Govt. loan, and all sorts of other fascinating details. A book, perhaps, would work better than an article.
