He's an engineer, and there's a bunch of engineers who worked with him who will attest to that.
- Dah00n 5y agoWhy do you need someone who worked with him to attast it? Engineer is something you go to school to become, not something you become because you have money or workers. Either he have an education as an engineer or he isn't an engineer. Giving yourself a title in your own company doesn't make it so.
- fastball 5y agoYou definitely don't need formal education in order to be an engineer.

- solveit 5y agoWhich thread is this? I'm curious.
- na85 5y agoThe same reddit thread that gets trotted out by Musk worshippers every time someone points out he's not an engineer. It's full of quotes saying stuff like "he understands a lot about spaceflight and aerodynamics" and similar weasel statements.
