I'm not a Elon hater because of his politics. There are plenty of rich fucks out there with much more malevolent political views, though the Germans know that salute meant. I started making TikTok's about Elon because he tried building a rocket with agile methodologies more suitable for a smartphone app. On top of that, both starship and cyber truck are vanity projects constrained by his ego to embody his vision of what those things should be. He stopped listening to the smart people he has hired.

He overwork his people and burns them out. If he wasn't such an egotistical twat about his psroduct visions, starship might be flying commercial payloads and cybertruck might not be the worst pick up truck ever made.

So yeah, Elon is an incompetent leader. The companies are bad because you'll burn out if you work there.

I’ve always thought that Elon’s “genius” is that he is able to convince smart/capable people to be very loyal to him. I doubt any of his inner circle would comment about him on HN, but I wonder if my theory is correct?
