It seems like you’re ascribing to Elon some kind of magic, where you feel he’s breaking the rules of what should be allowed in order to achieve success. Is it impossible you simply don’t understand how what he does works?

I think you may have misread my comment, because no.

So your hypothesis is Elon's domineering personality creates a culture of terrified silence where everybody wants to revolt but Elon is simply too powerful and they have no choice - and this extends to customers, sales and even technology - reality itself bends to the will of mighty Elon? And that's ... unfair?

Ok, I'm sorry, I'll try again. Seems I've missed your point a few times now, may be projecting my own perspecitve there.

So...it's not that you don't understand how what Elon does works, you do understand it, and your descrpition of him is accurate, you just seem to think it's unfair that it does work? "unearned gravitas" "w/o much expertise" "sheer force of grand will"

So you're saying Elon isn't a deferential technically-talented leader, he's wilful and a marketer, who you feel constantly changes course, and so maybe the people who work for him are not as aligned as I believe with what he's doing?
