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

    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.

        No, he is correct! Hackernews is one of these platform without a negative-feedback-channel, and a very opinionated community, which is a serious problem. Especially when the post itself is a bizarre opinion, not a clear fact. This post is probably just another part of the campaign against him. Musk itself said he's not an engineer.

          "campaign against him" is almost as rich as he is

          worlds richest man gets his panties in a bundle ober criticism, cannot understand why people are so upset with him... he's likely surrounded himself with sycophants, who also get their panties in a bundle when he's criticized... its really quite sad

            what you said has nothing to do with what i said.. are you even a real human? i meant that it's sad people blindly follow narratives instead of looking into the issue itself.

    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.

    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.
