    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.

        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.
