At what point do we begin to wonder if Elon’s motives have carried far enough afield that as Tesla shareholders we press for a 2nd choice?

Your family sounds fun!Single data point:
Just had Thanksgiving dinner, which is a big production for my wife's family (over 100 people). There were about a 8-9 Tesla's parked outside.
Lots of conversation about various subjects, but when Tesla came up, the ONLY thing anyone was taking about was:
1) How fast the cars are
2) The features not found in any other car
3) Autopilot and FSD beta
No one mentioned Elon or Twitter.
Tesla's going to be fine. Better than fine.
Do you have a ban on politics at family dinners ?No one mentioned Elon or Twitter.
Elon Haters get cut off from the wine and spirits after one glass.Do you have a ban on politics at family dinners ?

Don’t turn the moms against you, the French had to learn that one the hard way.Talking politics is like trying to convince a Red Sox fan to become a Yankee fan. "You know you're right, I think I will root for the Yankees now. I never looked at it that way before!"
ie it is pointless
I don't think there is a point unless he grooms a successor (if he hasn't already).
Who would replace him with that would improve Tesla's ability to execute on its mission? Why?
Extraneous events in the financial world will always influence share prices for all publicly traded companies, but the point is to what extent do the actions of a flamboyant CEO enhance or harm a company's business?With piles of bad news, rising interest rates and a new COVID breakout in China it is impossible to pin one specific thing on Tesla's current doldrums.
When the recovery comes we'll see who gets left behind.

In a bad economy a CEO can boost share prices and in a good economy a CEO can weaken share prices. In isolation from the overall economy have Musk's actions as CEO of Twitter these last few weeks done help or harm to TSLA shareholders? The very best case is that no one cares, neither the car buying public nor the investing public. I think that to believe that requires willful blindness.
Keeping a website operational is a pretty low bar. Haha. If Elon is able to IPO it for more than he paid that will be a crow feast.
Someone already had to eat crow due to their prediction of twitter collapse, I expect this will be an on-going occurrence in the next 12 months since different detractors predicted different collapse time. In the end this will be the largest crow eating exercise in human history so much so that we ought to declare crow an endangered species, and it will prove once and for all how stupid it is to bet against Elon Musk.
I think what Elon is doing is completely unprecedented. It does seem like the primary way it could hurt Tesla is he appears to be trying to build Twitter 2.0 from the ground up. Anyone tracking ElonJet to figure out what percentage of time he’s spending at Twitter?Extraneous events in the financial world will always influence share prices for all publicly traded companies, but the point is to what extent do the actions of a flamboyant CEO enhance or harm a company's business?

Fixed it for you…

Elon is an agent of chaos, and while it may not look totally sane he knows what he’s doing to eventually bring everyone around for punch and pie.I think the more likely risk (merely risk, not a prediction or expectation) is engagement attrition. Most of the reasonable stuff I’ve read kind of uses the “empty mall” analogy. Less viewing means less engagement means less viewing.. etc. I think that’s a higher risk (if quite low) than some site wide collapse.
I think a much wider advertiser exodus is possible … these things can happen fast. Elon can be stubborn and he is now on a mission to make Twitter anti-woke. Nobody knows where this will end.I think the more likely risk (merely risk, not a prediction or expectation) is engagement attrition.

Wow, how do you even manage a dinner for over 100!!Single data point:
