Doesn't seem crazy to me. Musk is an entrepreneur, and EVs are a thing now, time to move on. In fact, Tesla would probably do better without him at this point. He'll get bored once the interesting ideas and problems are solved and it's just down to the daily nuts and bolts of the operation.
The big money isn't in manufacturing cars anyhow, it's in AI and autonomous driving. If Google and Tesla combined their knowledge, they might develop the best autonomous system yet.
I agree with freebeard though, it isn't lack of money preventing a runaway success; its not being technologically there yet to either sell in very large volume at marginal profit, or lower volume at greater profit.
