Comment on 8 yr old me after my parents did my woodworking assignment

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.

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

  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 the 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 adds just 100 hours a week.
  
  He also has twelve children 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 also 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.
