    If you said this a decade ago, sure. But at this point there have been so many examples of musk misunderstanding fundamental concepts in areas that he likes to pretend to be an expert on that he doesn’t get benefit of the doubt. The dude is only good at being rich and bullying people. He has no engineering acumen, be it software, vehicles, or spacecraft.

    He’s good at repeating things that smart people have told him, but as soon as he is asked to think rather than simply regurgitate, he’s useless.

      I think that’s essentially the same thing I said, just a slightly different timeline. You can see the man’s understanding of rockets deteriorating over the years just by comparing the technical interviews he’s done against each other.

      We have overwhelming evidence of this documented on YouTube for everyone to see.

      I’ve heard that real software engineers had to re-write or fix all of his code even back when he was working on paypal.
