When I look at my Tesla, I see the hard work of hundreds (or thousands) of engineers, tasked with doing something new and complicated. They're collective trailblazers, and they know they're making the product that best it can be, given the constraints.

You look and you see one person.

They were once trailblazing, while their CEO is lighting progressive environmentalism on fire.

Tesla is building a moat. They are defending their market share, preventing subsidies aiding competitors, keeping China out of the US market. That's not trailblazing, its not innovative.

Tesla needs to jettison their CEO. He's toxic and destructive to the mission of the company, or at least the mission it used to have.

How is progressive environmentalism different from normal environmentalism?

I don't see that the mission of Tesla is any different from when it started. What's the new mission?

how many of those engineers are still at Tesla? their churn rate is known to be pretty high...
