    I tend to think people shit on Musk more than they should, but holy shit does it bug me when a CEO talks about engineering problems with such bravado.

      He talked about electric cars. I don’t know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

      Then he talked about rockets. I don’t know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

      Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard anyone say, so when people say he’s a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

      The guy is an idiot who LITERALLY got fired for incompetence as CEO.in the past. He is a scammer and should be treated as such, so no, people aren’t shitting too much on him. If anything, they aren’t shitting enough, there are still way too many oblivious fan boys out there that think he is a genius. He’s not.

      Anything he says that makes sense engineering wise usually comes from someone on his team, anything else is just outrageously stupid, and clearly from his “genius mind” like this blurb/cert/tweet whatever the hell its supposed to be called.
