I'm probably one of the five people on this earth who gets Elon (not in a way his fanbois do). Let me point out the negatives of Elon i) He is a bull-shitter.

I'm probably one of the five people on this earth who gets Elon (not in a way his fanbois do). Let me point out the negatives of Elon i) He is a bull-shitter. He has no clue about a lot of things, yet he has plenty of hubris. ii) He is mis-trusting of people (this always comes from upbringing and environment. If people constantly misplace your trust growing up, your default is to mistrust people). I can understand why you wouldn't want to work under Elon. That's a perfectly valid reason What makes Elon different, and which a lot of people don't get about him (including his fanbois)? i) He is a true Engineer in the sense, even if he starts with bullshit and hubris, he is a quick learner. He breaks things to learn from first principles (Things he has repeatedly demonstrated everywhere). Media/HN focus on him breaking things, but that's what how everyone learns about complex systems. People don't appreciate how quickly he went from from 'Alien Dreadnought' to 'Tent in a backyard' and then back to AI Automation at Tesla. ii) Bias for action with the right amount of risks. Some people have bias for action, some people take risks and some are constant learners. But, I have never seen anyone combine all three like Elon. He is successful not because of his knowledge, but his willingness to take risks despite massive adversity and guaranteed mock by media. iii) He is narcisstic, but not like Trump. He has several times shown self-deprecating humor and acknowledged his mistakes (and quickly learns from them).
