Elon Musk isn't an engineer or manager. He's an influencer and lobbyist

Tesla succeeded when engineers ran things. After the model 3 got out of "production hell", musk turned tesla into a bank account and raided it. When tesla fails, spacex will buy it like tesla bought solar city.

    One wonders how many failed acquisitions that were subsequently rolled into a larger entity that somehow didn't take a hit to its evaluation can be done before it starts to look like a scam.

    It's amazing that SpaceX could swallow the overpriced and revenue under-performing wreckage of Twitter and still have an absurdly priced IPO. It's one of those things that it works until it stops working because there's no reason it worked in the first place.

This is a hot take I agree with. Let’s not forget that all his companies are actually run by other people (who are actually engineers) and that his Masters degree is in marketing.

Every single "example" of Elon Musk's products being terrible is completely wrong.

I honestly can't tell if this article is serious or meant to be taken as a joke.

Edit:

Just looked at the "About Me" and now I feel like a dick.

Unfortunately seems like the author has some kind of mental issues.
