They certainly have plenty of lofty ambitions but have spectacularly failed to deliver on any of them ever since the Model Y launch. It's fair to assume that a lot of that is due to the CEO piddling away his time in idiotic culture wars rather than do his actual job. Having said that, I think at this point Musk's brain has completely turned to mush from all the drugs, so even if he tried, he wouldn't be much use.
I don’t think it’s the drugs. I don’t think they help, but I know intelligent and wise drug users. I think the problem is much more social. He wasn’t good at people before becoming rich and became so wealthy he doesn’t need to if he shuts up, but he like most members of our species does have a psychological need to be liked by others, add in social media addiction and confirmation bias and you’ve got him going the way of notch.
