> Elon is singular in his understanding of engineering and construction and large systems and marshaling resources;

Ahahaha. Just like when he marshaled resources to buy Twitter?

More like he just cracked the whip, and the actual smart people worked day and night to figure it out, or else they’re fired.

I'd go through and find specific examples of his personal involvement picking 0 on the cheap/fast/good axis.

The submarine option in the caves? Expensive, not there on time, didn't work. His push for the screens

Hyperloop was apparently his baby. Fails on all 3 counts.

Tesla self driving. Ineffective, overdue and I can imagine the lawsuits aren't cheap.

It looks like we have an idiot in charge where his only advantage is in pressuring his underlings into reckless behaviour and offloading the responsibility and the negative externalities
