Tesla 100% is and could not have been squandered more effectively if you showed up wanting to do so. They were THE EV marketplace powerhouse, now they’re a laughing stock and the stock price is only held up by Musk’s political interference.

SpaceX isn’t actively managed by Musk at all and it shows. Legend says they have a team of employees specifically dedicated to running interference when he shows up, which I believe, because they don’t actively shoot themselves in the foot constantly.
