People are still driving Teslas right now. Pretty much the same in my book. You're trusting your life to a proven moron.

Elongated Muskrat has very little to do with the inner works of the company now. Even in the heights of his involvement, by his own account, his input was tangential at best, like "we make expensive car now, use this money to make cheaper car" and "we call it x because x is the best name ever"

Don't forget "The Tesla Model series will spell out SEXY" and "Oh, Ford already claimed Model E? Model 3 it is, 1337!"

The ongoing litigation against the company begs to differ. Also didn't Musk step down as CEO of Twitter a while back? It seems his tangential bullshit has quite an impact. I'll be honest I think the people actually working at Tesla do their best to try to moderate his unadulterated fuck ups. But they're not safe from it and neither is anyone else who does business with them.
