I like to shit on Elon as much as the next person, but as someone who works in aerospace mfg, if he understands 3% of SpaceX’s manufacturing and supply chain he is already in the top 99.9999999%. What they have accomplished is absolutely unfathomable and why we have to make exceptions when hiring experienced SpaceX people into our company to pay 2-3x standard pay for them. They really really know their shit and are making everyone in the industry better by leaving SpaceX.
Edit: ITT a bunch of people who have never held a real job outside of ex-Reddit mod and pretending to be an tankie while mommy and daddy pay all of your bills, pretending they understand mfg ops and supply chain. Optimization is extremely difficult and at my last tech job we had to hire a bunch of PhDs to help us figure out a supply chain network issue. The simulations would have to run for hours and took thousands in compute daily.
Yeah, this is the guy who takes everyone else’s accomplishments for himself. The only reason why SpaceX is so damn good at what it does is because he’s not allowed to be more than a figurehead
Ever wonder why his talk about Tesla is so stilted? He doesn’t know how it started. I listened to one of the actual founders and he was talking in and out about EVs and the business model of Tesla. Elon takes a couple of their brochure points and that’s all he can say.
Bro claims to be the Chief Engineer while shitposting all day and being CEO of five other companies.
I do not believe that narrative, I don’t know about you. What I do know is that the single bit of confirmed “engineering” I’ve seen accredited to him is once using epoxy on a cracked part in front of a crowd of journalists, which I’m sure was a very organic and legitimate problem.
It’s possible that SpaceX is a result of him having an eye for talent, but quite frankly I think he probably just hired one person with that eye instead and could afford to pay for the people that person recommends.
Is that his talent? Having an eye for people who have an eye for talent? Maybe, I don’t know the bureaucratic details, but I don’t believe he’s that involved otherwise. He physically does not have the time to be so, and now that fucking goofball is entering politics too.
No no no, you must understand the truth about Elon!
The average CEO supposedly works 60 hour a week. Elon is in charge of two companies. That is 120 hours a week.
He also has involvement in no less than five other corporations. Giving each company 20 hours a week combines to another 100 hours a week.
He has twelve crotch goblins he loves and takes care of. Let’s say he gives each kiddo a generous 10 hours each so that adds 120 hours to his week.
He spends a lot of time doing drugs and twatting on Twitter. He spends about 40 hours on these tasks.
Now he is going to be helping run the US government and promises to work another 80 hours a week.
Don’t forget he is a lover and spends at least 20 hours a week trying to fuck the women who work for him.
Let’s see that adds up to about 480 hours a week! And that is not even counting him sleeping, eating, or shitting. What an amazing man he is! Imagine if you had that much time to do all that.
Former twitter engineer here. Maybe he paid more attention at his other companies but Elon was comically clueless about how the twitter machine worked. Hiring geohot and thinking a firmware cracker could make heads or tails of a massively distributed system was pure idiocy.
Okay and how do you really think twitter has been affected? Is it less influential than before he bought it? Less functional? As an outsider it sure doesn’t seem like it.
And we’re saying that Elon knows <1% of any manufacturing process, evidenced by inconsistencies of manufacturing process across all his companies. The employees know more, yes, but they are not Elon and Elon is not SpaceX.
And, for starters, not unfathomable but made possible through VC money and years of R&D. This makes it possible and completely fathomable. It’s all maths and science.
Fucking idiots will down vote you but this is the truth and something a lot of people who work or have worked with Musk say. The guy knows his shit. He didn’t get to be the richest guy on earth because of South African emeralds or whatever. He’s changing the world. Love him or hate him, you don’t matter. If you think he’s a moron then do better and take him down.
He became the richest guy on earth because the system is set up to give you infinite money when you hit critical mass of wealth. Why do you think the rich keep getting richer and the poor get poorer?
He did not get here because he’s smart; he’s rich and was too rich to fail. He got a leg up in emerald mines which allowed him to gamble and invest during the early internet days, thus allowing him to continue to invest/gamble.
He’s certainly helping to change the world but not for the better. His philosophies that guide his policies are inciting violence and giving rise to racism and misogyny.
I definitely think he’s a moron, but the system is set up so that I can’t possibly take him or his ilk down. I wasn’t born into a family that owned heaps of wealth and slavery. I’m not a white male.
But in % comparisons, my quality of life is much better than his. That’s where I can take him down.
If i had emerald money backing up my opportunities and had no soul… i probably could find a way to exploit the system to a mass vast amount of money.
Besides most of his “wealth” is all tied up in stocks. Him holding onto the shares is largely the only reason they maintain any value. Everytime he sells or uses them as collateral, the prices shift wildly downward.
Never claimed i can do better… in fact I’d make for a shitty businessman, since i would ensure all my employees were being paid fairly and never less than a few percentage of my own salary.
My plan to “do better” in my life involves being very different from him and not striving to be the more rich and powerful shithead that takes his place.

You’re being incredibly generous if you think he understands any of it.

It’s quite a bit less functional. There have been dozens of high profile outages and service interruptions.
a whole 200 CSVs manually exported

Yoooo whats your company are they hiring all positions?? Or is this sr engineers
You don’t want to work for my company. You’re welcome

End rant.

No you couldn’t. You’re already privileged enough to waste time here so fucking do it. But you won’t…and can’t.
Phones and internet cost like $10 a month…
You think i can create a mega corporation with that budget?
Some can. You with that attitude, no.
So uh… Where are your mega millions then champ???
I am doing very okay, and I’m not the one claiming I can do better.
Never claimed i can do better… in fact I’d make for a shitty businessman, since i would ensure all my employees were being paid fairly and never less than a few percentage of my own salary.
Awww… Give yourself a little credit! If you were born the successor of a slave employing Emerald Mine fortune, you could fail your way up too!
My plan to “do better” in my life involves being very different from him and not striving to be the more rich and powerful shithead that takes his place.
Wow that sounds amazing.
money is the most important! must lick rich man’s asshole!
