So, you are saying stockholders and board of Tesla should change the method for Musk. And when it comes time to choosing a successor they should again change the method and take a vow to never change the method again.

Yes, yes, and then no. They are under no obligation or requirement to maintain a given system, and, I would argue, it's unreasonable to try to do so given how powerfully unique each aspect of the situation is (or must be).

Not just anyone can lead a company; not just anyone could (I presume) lead a company like Tesla. Any process by which you would select that level of uniqueness, it seems to me, must necessarily be unique itself.
