From what I can tell, Elon's biggest impact is pushing aside traditional and conservative management and being willing to take larger business risks, allowing the already incentivized engineers who already know the problems they need to solve at paypal, tesla, spacex, solarwinds etc... tackle the problems they needed to to make a change.

In this case, the incentive is there, engineers are working on it, but businesses are hesitant to scale up manufacturing and supply if they can't predict the future demand. Musk might actually be able to help here, if only because his willingness to lose money to get things done.
