There’s so much to dig into on this one. First off, just to state my own bias upfront, I’m not a fan of the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH). Literally just a few days ago I wrote about on…

    Before this Twitter debacle I was on the fence whether Musk is a genius or a fraud.

    Today it is clear as day that he is the latter.

    To me it’s still an open question why SpaceX is so successfull – is it because of him or despite him?

      It has always been despite him. There are some brilliant people at SpaceX which made eveything from Falcon Heavy to Starlink to Dragon possible.

      They needed to keep Musk distracted so he didn’t interfere with operations too much.

      Def because of him. Musk is still a smart guy but has just become arrogant and is out of his league with twitter. And I guess his ego is too large now to accept he handled any of it badly so he just keeps plowing forward, duct taping around…

      The open question is, is the fact that twitter is still running fairly well because it is so well engineered and resilient, or is musk actually just duct taping well?

        Haven’t SpaceX engineers gone on record saying they orchestrate distractions for Musk to ensure he doesn’t meddle?
