Musk is only good at one thing, which is play investors like violins to generate hype and secure more investments for the company. The rest of the company’s success is owed to the extremely competent and talented engineers and workers making those extremely ambitious projects a reality.
Every time Musk tries to pretend he’s an engineer and tries to micromanage engineering and design decisions we end up with things like the Cybertruck.
I’m going to keep repeating it until it becomes common knowledge: When Musk stole the company from its original founders in a board coup, he specifically demanded that the cars have flush-fitting door handles despite his engineer’s objections. Reinventing the door handles was excessively time and cost prohibitive because of the crash safety requirements involved but Musk would hear none of it. And it was. It nearly bankrupted the company early on and it was only saved by government grants from the Obama days.

I read a comment somewhere by someone who worked at SpaceX, and they said a crucial part of the job was tactfully distracting him while he was in the facility. Otherwise, he would make nonsensical design suggestions and expect them to be implemented.

This is there title from a Blomberg article:
I think it’s that, she is one is there most influential person that made SpaceX successful.
Cybertruck is what happen when people don’t say no to Musk.
It saddens me our government has been funding this foreign apartheid bastard piece of shit this whole time.
Oh fElon woulc have hated that: a Black guy bailing out an apartheid guys business.
