He is absolutely a software engineer. The guy used to sleep under his desk after he was exhausted from writing code all day building his first products. I urge you to read any of the biographies written about him if you care but otherwise please save the withering hate (and language).

I stand by my statements. Is this supposed to be his Github: https://github.com/ElonMusk Is this a joke?

I don't see why anyone should respect his opinions as a software engineer.

We get it. You hate the guy. Move on.
Sure, but so long as anyone cares to continue this silly debate I'm happy to oblige them. My hate is stronger than whatever silly arguments you all seem to be able to come up with to prove Musk is great.
Hate is a really destructive feeling. It ruled my life for many years. There's no way to indicate this in a way that isn't patronizing over the internet but I urge you to find the root of this hate which you are now projecting on a guy you don't know much about and transform it. Meditation has been a powerful tool in my arsenal and I can recommend it but there's many other things you can do about it. There's far, far too much hate on the internet and in this world as is.
This world gives zero shits about those with potential.

Technology would be 100x what it is today if humans would stop being selfish assholes ( such as the vaunted hero of all of you, Musk ).

Those who believe in the current structure of society are absolute fools.

Those who say to work within the system simply cannot comprehend how much the world is being held back by letting idiots rule and succeed.

Hate is required. To not have hate for this existence is to be a fool.
