What I see with Elon at Twitter is classic attempt at disruption. This is often characterized by somewhat naively asking questions like “Why do we need to bother with x” or “Why can’t we just do y.” Invariably, some portion of the ideas and shortcuts are failures, revealing that “we have to do x because” or “we can’t just do y because.”
The question here is, can Elon find enough shortcuts and ideas that work and recover sufficiently from failures for the ones that don’t?
I think it’s still up in the air, but it does seem like a challenge with the current financial obligation. Elon understands the product a lot better than a lot of ‘classic’ CEOs might, but the kind of close calls Elon admits Tesla had won’t eternally be in his favor.
