Yes and no.If only the banks could have known that Musk had no idea what he was doing and would only make things worse. Oh, wait, it was patently obvious.
On paper, Musk has a reputation as a guy who really understands tech, plans to slash the workforce to ribbons - bearing in mind that's been short-term profit-making wet dream for decades, perhaps even more so nowadays with the private equity firm model - and had grand plans for further development of the platform into banking / sales.
They could be forgiven for thinking Musk was merely "larger than life" in some of his social media mis-steps, and his record at Tesla etc. meant he wasn't so erratic and cack-handed that he'd annihilate the company's ad revenue by a much greater margin than any savings he made cutting staff.

As a side note, I was reading with some interest about the arrest of several people connected to the death of Matthew Perry, several of which were medical doctors, and had given him large quantities of ketamine. Ketamine is being used for depression, albeit is still in trials for effectiveness, and used in a specific way in conjunction with psychological therapy - patients aren't just given a load of ketamine and take it when they feel a bit down.
It's in this context I note Musk takes ketamine. Musk's explanation would fit with the conventional use being trialled. But I also wonder... is that "real doctor" he talks about equally like the real doctors who treated Perry (and Michael Jackson, and Heath Ledger): because some real doctors can be fucking shitty ones that hand over huge quantities of drugs they really shouldn't just so long as they get paid enough.
