...and yet, Tesla as a business persists.

Then that's a fraction of the mentionable companies Musk has played pivotal roles in:

Zip2
X.com and PayPal
SpaceX
Tesla
SolarCity
Gigafactory
Hyperloop
OpenAI
Neuralink
The Boring Company

If competence is only arriving at the optimal solution to a problem on the first try, then it exists only as a concept and not attributable to any person in history.

There are plenty of derogatory labels that come to mind when thinking of Musk, but incompetence is pretty far down the list.
