I actually kinda wish he doesn't, and steps down as CEO of Tesla. I've been thinking this for a long time now actually.
His Solarcity acquisition was a giant strategic mistake. There is no other way to look at it as a bailout of a company he was chair of. It didn't do too much damage to Tesla, but there was nothing positive it brought.
And after he bought Solarcity, he gutted its offerings and pivoted to a solar roof, which is still very, very problematic and may never actually work from a business point of view.
He pushed for the Cybertruck - that appears to be a strategic win, but the jury is still out. It isn't clear whether Tesla would have done just as well with a traditional truck - it probably would have been shipping by now, for example.
Elon was almost successful in nixing the $25K car. He wanted it robotaxi only, no steering wheel, etc. It took his mgmt team quite a while to convince him otherwise. That was a needless delay.
He has been consistently wrong, for like 7 years, on Autopilot/FSD advancement. Has he been starving the FSD team of resources because he thinks success is just around the corner ... for seven years? 200 core developers is kinda small for such an important effort.
It will be very interesting to see where Teslabot lands. Its success is 100% dependent on advanced AI, specifically how to teach it to do novel tasks. So, dependent on something that Elon has been wrong about for seven years. THIS time, he's got it figured out, right? THIS time their AI team will have the goods to make it a success ... soon? Right?
In the end, Tesla is now being run by very good people, a stellar culture has been imbued, Elon's contributions could actually be hurting on balance.
He who does nothing, does nothing wrong.
Elon takes on a lot of difficult challenges, yes he makes some mistakes.
I agree that he makes mistakes (in conjunction with others), but from your list I only agree the steering wheel for the 25K car and the solar roof.
The idea that Elon doesn't make mistakes, and that Tesla Bulls should jump on anyone who suggests he does, is very wrong.
Top of my list is "production hell" that is the one big mistake which nearly ended badly. Elon wasn't alone in deciding to go down that route.
If the Solar Roof and FSD were easy to solve problems, someone else would have solved them. While the Tesla solutions are taking longer than we would like, they are both ahead of what the competition is doing.
Elon is always open to being less wrong and IMO there are 3 groups helping Elon to become less wrong.
1) On X a group of posters I respect are trying to steer Elon in the direction of being "less wrong" on social issues. They are all doing a great job and making great points. Like them, I suspect Elon was merely poorly informed and some individuals have steered Elon in the wrong direction. Often when correctly informed Elon walks back or clarifies his position. This highlights another issue in that Elon's original posts can be very easy to misinterpret, or Elon doesn't understand the full context when repeating statements made by others.. Overall I think there is some prospect that Elon will eventually become significantly "less wrong" in this area. Those that are helping him are the right people, anyone with strong emotional feelings should stay out of the debate.
2) As shown by the steering wheel debate, senior engineers have the ability and the responsibility to push back against bad decisions. Elon can be stubborn, so this can take some persistence. By now the team has earned our respect, Tesla is not a one man show,
3) The board including Kimbal are apparently pushing back against Elon fairly regularly. Again this is simply the board doing their job, Elon can be stubborn and prone to making impulsive decisions about what to post on social media. There are a long list of examples of Elon being wrong in this area. We need to board to do their job, and they should be accountable for that.
At this stage, I'm still holding out hope that Elon can become "less wrong" and can declare "mission accomplished" at Tesla before moving on to other things.
