Without the good PR he used to give before showing his real face, he has zero value to any company he is part of, other than the money he has invested in it.
In fact, any policy influence he has with any of these companies is actually a detriment.
Elon never had any technical, intellectual or other expertise in any of the companies he was involved in.
All he ever had was the illusion of charisma and being a master bloviator.
Now that he has been exposing himself as nothing more than the petulant narcissistic manchild he is, that value he had has been dispelled.
SpaceXs previous chief propulsion engineer would disagree with you
Bullshit. Utter bullshit. The guy is just sucking Musk dick. Musk doesn't know anything about rockets.
Not a musk fan in the slightest, can't stand the man... but do you have any proof he actually has no clue about rockets? Easy to make the claim, but I'd love to see it backed up.
Do you have proof he knows anything besides testimonies from people that work for him?
They made the claim, they should back it up.
Again, I strongly dislike Musk, but I've only read testimonies that he knows his rockets. Give me counterproof, please! Any fuel for the musk fanboy tears is worth it. But I want it to be true, not just bashing for the sake of bashing
You aren't going to get any because there isn't.
There are so many things to hate about musk if that's your jam, but over the years I'm always surprised by how many people hate him for fake / made up reasons.
I think it stems from people wanting to hate him earlier on, well before he gave the world dozens of new reasons to hate him so they made shit up to make themselves feel better. Believe it or not there was also a concerted push to discredit him and Tesla early on to kill Tesla, so they helped manufacturer the hate.
But then he goes off the deep end and gives the world so many reasons to hate him without any of that, but the haters who want to hate for hates sake stick to the oldies.
Edit: so I applaud you challenging the BS stuff. Hate him for the real stuff!
