It just becomes publicly apparent quickly. Erratic behavior rewarded over a lifetime is a long slow decline that afflicts those whose lucky steak goes on too long. Within SpaceX he had to have a babysitter to prevent him from losing billions (Gwynne Shotwell). At Paypal and Tesla his competition was so sclerotic and monopolistic they left him a green field of opportunity. A deranged bluffer at poker looks like a genius if they keep winning... until they don't.

@hobs @Loukas @aral That makes sense. Though also perhaps starting to lose can hasten the unraveling.
