It is the same thing over and over. Founders are praised when the company is growing, and the same founder for the same reasons are criticized when the company is not growing anymore.

If the CEO is so bad, how did he manage to create such a valuable company while almost nobody on earth has been able to do it ?

How? Luck, really. I think we give way too much credit to people for being "visionary" or talented when really the large part of their success is just luck (particularly around timing). For example, I think the situation with Peleton would look very different if it hadn't been for the pandemic.
