The recently published book Power Play by Tim Higgins is a very nice history of Tesla. It describes the Elon playbook in great detail:

2) Hire a pliable dude to do your bidding.

This is what happened to Martin Eberhard (the actual founder of Tesla), to Doug Field, and pretty much to all other Elon lieutenants over the years.
