But he shouldn’t. He’s a hack.
He’s also a stupid doodoo brain, with poop and pee in his pants! Cacca doodoo!
Comment on Why are people impressed with SpaceX?

SpaceX is not run by Elon and he’s kept from being involved closely by a buffer of people that keep him from getting too close to making any “elon” level changes.
SpaceX is successful despite Musk, not because of. And the woman who runs it knows that and keeps Musk away from any important decisions or impacts.
So the stuff they’re doing is legit, cool aerospace stuff.
It’s just not something Musk should take credit for. He does/will. But he shouldn’t. He’s a hack.

I’m guessing they let him name the Of Course I Still Love You?

Which is hilarious, as the setting of that series is the epitome of “luxury gay space anarchism.”
People can (and do) change their biological sex just by thinking about it. The concept of “gender” is seen as hilariously primitive, and anything other than pan-sexuality is seen as quaint at best.

That’s not true in the least. He is CEO, CTO and Chief rocket designer. He’s deeply involved in every step

He can give himself whatever titles he likes, that doesn’t mean he makes any positive technical contribution.

Watch a few of the multi hour interviews he given while raining through explaining everything. He knows what he’s doing if you’ve not been paying attention. Lots of reasons to not like him but your completely wrong on this one

I hade watched them. He’s just repeating things. He had no grasp of engineering or astrophysics at a fundamental level. He is a sales guy.
The same is true for his software engineering skills. They are novice level, at best. Watching his engineering brainstorm sessions at Twitter was a painful experience. He only knows how to talk the talk. He constantly misuses key tech jargon and design patterns. His engineering group will literally come whenever he makes a suggestion.

“deeply involved in every step” absolutely not, because if he was it would be painfully obvious.

He’s far too busy with X, Trump, and his relationship drama to have any time to do anything close to being involved. Of the company’s he’s bought or been involved in creating SpaceX is toward the bottom of his priorities from what I hear.
