As an engineer, I see him as an incredibly talented engineer that is also quite good at sales and marketing, but mostly because he talks about stuff like an engineer.
Would most companies even hire him for a salesperson role? Probably not if they've watched his presentations.
- nujabe 6y agoI'm not sure we've seen any evidence of Musk's 'incredible' engineering skills.
- loceng 6y agoMusk says he's doing engineering 80% of the time. If you watch him discuss the products he knows what he's talking about, he's intimately involved - he's not just the standard talking head CEO role.

- nujabe 6y agoDo you really think Musk had anything to do with engineering design of those rockets? You really think he contributed to the rocket stabilization system or something?
- aeternum 6y agoI do actually. The level at which he can describe each low-level design decision shows he has a deep understanding of rocketry, chemistry, and material science and acts as more of a chief engineer rather than CEO.
