If his Ukraine peace proposal is any indication, he’s a little over his head when it comes to non-tech problems.

  Same with many tech problems TBH. People are still waiting for their robotaxis.

    They are also the problems (e.g. robotaxis, ukraine-russia conflict) that nobody on earth can solve.

      Most are wise enough to know that.

  Have you seen the content of the text messages between him and his brother (and Twitter's CEO) that have surfaced recently? [1] He claimed he had been coding for 20 years but it was painfully obvious he was clueless and was just dropping buzzwords. Ridiculous. He knows nothing about tech.

    He coded and released a game when he was a kid. John Carmack: "Elon is definitely an engineer. He is deeply involved with technical decisions at spacex and Tesla. He doesn’t write code or do CAD today, but he is perfectly capable of doing so."

      Sure, and he probably had a real time database stored all in memory in his game.

        Based on his texts to Parag, he’s a self declared “heavy duty programmer” that works best with other “hardcore programmers”, so maybe his codebase is all caps, who knows.
