You know who also didn't listen to their engineers? NASA back in the day with Space Shuttle Challenger. You'd think Musk would be cognizant of the importance of listening to engineers when they bring up safety concerns, particularly as he owns SpaceX.

But no, he'd rather be a knob.

It does sound like some of the Twitter engineers are pretty bad at explaining things in layman's terms, to be honest.

Almost like those engineers are paid to apply their knowledge, not play school teacher.
