Tesla in 2024 is certainly succeeding in spite of Elon. From firing the supercharging team because he had some kind of mental break to the tens of millions of dollars and engineering hours wasted on the cybertruck instead of another practical vehicle he clearly isn't contributing much to what is at this point a matured company that doesn't need a maniac (for better or worse) at the helm.

What you say makes sense, but this isn't the first time he's acted this way at any of his companies and they're all still going well. At some point you have to admit either his methods work or there's more to him than what you the general public see.
Electric pickup trucks aren't all that popular yet, but the cybertruck is selling better than any of the others.

Watching stupid people criticize brilliant people is pure popcorn fun!

You have no idea what the future of Tesla is and it isn't cars....
