Dude can't build cars that don't fall apart when they get wet, and can't build a truck that doesn't fall apart for uh, existing, and we're supposed to let him stick stuff in our brains?
No, thanks, but no.
Let's not forget an important distinction here. This man is not making any of these things, and he isn't capable of making them. But, he is capable of directly and indirectly impacting the people who are capable of making them negatively enough that we get utter failures like the cybertruck.
Don't give him more credit than he deserves.
Oh for sure: Musk can barely make a shitpost on Twitter, let alone actually do anything else.
But, conversely, he's in a position to dictate culture and policy and direction and that's led to shitty cars and whatever the fuck is going on at Twitter.
Aaaand yes, past performance is not a predictor for future outcomes, but uh, somehow I don't think it's irrelevant either.
