It sure sounds like an analysis concluding that Musk hires completely unqualified people so they can be micromanaged and then scape-goats when it turns out the management they didn't participate much in was bad (or was maybe fine but could be blamed for problems beyond its particular scope).
Sure CEO attribution 101. Can't possibly be responsible for everything bad in the lower ranks, but no doubt worthy of credit if a completely nontraditional choice no other company would allow works out.
