Don't know if Proton has any shareholders, but I they do, I hope they understand the CEO's position has become untenable, no matter his other real or imaginary qualities. It is (surprisingly) not uncommon for CEO's to have no clue about the business they are leading, but most of them at a minimum understand they should not spook their own customers. If Proton wants to restore trust, they need a leader that at least does not openly trash the company's own offerings.

Aside, with age becomes a deeper understanding of how realistic the Dilbert cartoons are.
