It's a title. It means fuck all. If you start a company, you can name yourself whatever. I'm the director of a company.
In the concrete case, Musk has NO credentials for being a chief engineer. He's a bachelor of arts in physics. Ironically a bachelor of science in economics. His main talent is extracting subsidies from the US government.
- kidme5 3y agoMusk offered the Chief Engineer title to Michael D. Griffin who is discussed elsewhere in this hackernews post. That was mentioned in Liftoff. Griffin basically felt he could pull more strings in Washington.
- panick21_ 3y agoCredentials don't matter in the real world. The question is who does the job. And we have plenty of evidence that Musk does that job, weather you like it or not. > His main talent is extracting subsidies from the US government. That's just flat out inaccurate nonsense.
