Musk: "I think we won't get to the refactor if we don't make these changes"
"why?"
Musk: "because we're going to be bankrupt"
"what's the runway?"
Musk: *silence*
"Elon you're you're our philosopher um you know Plato would be very proud of you. You're extremely technically competent and I think really understand how to how to drive things in a in a good direction. You know I I really love how you're also leaning into the voice of the people and letting you know them have a say as well *but*..."
That last bit there is exactly the kind of kindergarten that had to be erected around Musk at SpaceX, described here in [1] as "Managing Elon was part of the company culture", which gives credence to that piece.

- rsynnott 4y agoThat last bit, it’s very hard to believe it was _serious_.
- nikau 4y agoMr. Musk, your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular ? Ooh, a tough question, but a fair one.
- ModernMech 4y agoI don't think the person who said it was serious, but I think they understood that Musk needed to hear it.
