I think Musk is trying to emulate his heros: Tesla and Hughes, but he is not quite the genius that Tesla was (even he will admit that), nor is he quite the inventor/innovator and business leader that Hughes was. He is edging towards matching them in crazy though. Which kind of sucks, as I love his vision for future projects. But I think he needs to back off a bit, take a vacation, let some trusted 2ICs handle things and rein himself in. I am not sure he is capable of that though. He may need to crash out completely for other to be given the chance to right the ship.
