It's not insane. Only keeping people that kiss your ass is how you get echo chambers and lose touch with reality.
- memish 4y agoOf course, but it's not binary. It's not a choice of people who hate you or love you unquestionably. There's a middle ground between those. I don't buy into the notion that the chief engineer of SpaceX, which puts rockets in space, and CEO of Tesla, which efficiently produces electric cars, doesn't know how to stay in touch with reality. The evidence is in direct conflict.
- kenjackson 4y agoBut being severely critical of Musk right now doesn't necessarily mean you hate him. He has deserved a fair amount of criticism.
- memish 4y agoI agree.
- sorenjan 4y agoHe's the "Technoking of Tesla" and just tweeted about Ligma Johnson.
- strikelaserclaw 4y agoi mean, he owns SpaceX, he can put whatever title under his name as he wants to. Elon Musk has an excessive desire to make it look like he is a technical genius and a genius engineer/scientist, but he most likely is technically very competent but his true strengths lie in his long term vision, manic energy, great PR skills and work ethic. He is more akin to Edison than he is to Tesla.
- cwkoss 4y agoTwitter's biggest risk at the moment, IMO, is that Musk's layoff process may have over-selected ass kissers to the detriment of focusing on aptitude.
