Elon Musk is a terrible speaker but it works because he's so genuine.

He's not terrible, just a bit rough. I find his presentations far more appealing than any "perfect" presentation companies like Google, Apple or Facebook make.

He also doesn't fluff anything up or over sell anything. He tells the facts in a way people can understand and that's it.

I have watched Google IO, WWDC etc many times. Speaker come and speak fluently about a teeny tiny feature for half an hour.

Elon on the other side is plain and direct. The halts and the roughness actually makes me more attentive because of the change.

I assume the people at the end were early 'buyers'. The smile on their face worked better than any words to me.
