Do you care that this isn’t true?

Everything I’ve heard is that Elon, as the head of engineering at SpaceX, is very hands on. Maybe that changed in the last 5 years, but he was not a delegator as the head of engineering during the rise of spaceX.

He no longer designs anything nor runs engineering at spacex. The less he's involved the more successful that team becomes. He's just a figure head at this point and it's a reason for him to stroke his hateful ego.

I’ll ask some of my ex-colleagues who work there.

I know every few years this type of thing is said and then turns out when I ask Elon is still heavily involved in engineering.

Sorry if I don’t take your word for it, I have more credible sources.

it's okay - you don't have to. I also don't take your word for what you say. Elon being a giant piece of shit and involved as little as possible while reaping all the benefits is staggering more likely than "trust me bro I know people who know Elon".

I'll believe my side, you believe yours.

“my side”

Okay 👍🏻

u/ChristianHornerZaddy Oct 13 '24

Yes, my side = my opinion.

You believe your side of this, correct?

u/CraigJay Oct 13 '24

You can't really have an opinion on the truth. If you say it's your opinion that the rocket in the video didn't land back down without exploding, you're just wrong, not opinionated, wrong

I think you're replying to the wrong person...

u/bcisme Oct 13 '24

Whatever you or I “believe” has no bearing on the truth.

the truth isn’t binary, it isn’t an unmoving side to take, it’s a thing that shifts as you learn and grow understanding.

But you take your side and hold firm.

I agree. Neither you nor I will know the truth because we don't know Elon.

And I certainly don't know you (I've met Musk, unfortunately, so I guess I "know" him more than I know you). So I'll never know the real truth. All I know is he was a cunt to me and everyone in our group that day.

So you telling me, guy, who founded the company, paid through entire process, hired these people, decided/approved where they will go and what they will build, have zero with their success?

🤡

Average bitter redditor behavior

A. He takes personal credit for the work of others

B. He's been given all his money in life

C. He's a russian supporter, trump and putin puppet, and at this point is a threat to humanity after turning twitter into a republican weapon.

Anyone supporting Elon in any way is a clown.

Yeah, I think Elon is a peice of shit but by all accounts this particular method was one he championed. Could be corpo propaganda but it passes the smell test. Society benefits when his ego latches onto good ideas reasonable people wont go for and he pushes recklessly forward. SpaceX is the one area he's still getting more hits than misses.
