They’ve... seen Telstra’s share price, right?

Who are "They" and what does the share price have to do with a new Chairman being appointed?

The rest of the board, and supposedly Musk is being replaced to get a little bit more financial responsibility in Tesla. If Ms. Denholm has a bad track record, then that might not be good news, but I would assume Ms. Denholm was not an impulsive choice, and the board has good reason to seperate her abilities from Telstra's bad performance.

And you'll asses his "financial responsibility" based on the short-term movements of a stock in a regulation-first market?
