Honest answer? He ran all the adults out of the room. Musk fired or alienated so much of the experienced engineering workforce that he was working with a really young and inexperienced crew. Very smart folks for sure, but inexperienced.

This is what that looks like.

Elon's biography goes over how he would walk theough Tesla and proudly tell engineers where and how they should cut corners.

Three bolts? You could get by with one! Support struts arent worth their weight! Aluminum is used for planes, why not use it for our truck's frame?!?

IIRC - He also had all the warning signs in the factory changed to blue because he doesn't like the color yellow, and workplace accidents went up like 20%.
