Exact;y. I used to think that I'd go out of my way to jump at an opportunity to work for Elon Musk, and I've made many posts defending/promoting his ventures & skills.
But after what I've seen in the three weeks, and especially in the last two days, no forking way.
First, that he so obviously missed the issue with ID verification of important accounts, AFTER having worked in payments where you MUST find and block scammers & criminals, showed that he's just happy to waste everyone's time and make a mess based only on his own blustering ignorance.
Second, seeing his blatantly ignorant tweets about "1000 RPCs" slowing down rendering a Twitter home page, and how the actual number turns out to be "Zero", the emperor's cloths are truly gone. The now-fired employee was absolutely correct that Musk should have asked about it in the internal Slack or email channels, not in public.
Rather than the astute technologist, it looks like the curtain has dropped and he's just another blustering, manipulative, and abusive fool that got lucky at the beginning and had a large pile of funds to play with. I will grant that he is 1) exceptionally determined, 2) willing to take risks, and 3) does have some clarity on removing traditional bureaucratic obstacles. But I'd not want to be associated with him; we can learn that stuff from afar without the angst & abuse.
