He's totally messing with the processes though, optimizing on broader scale. Very hands-on approach, identify bottlenecks, remove them.
Example he talked about: At Tesla, they had a bad bottleneck with battery assembly: the chassis would be inlaid with glass fiber on epoxy, and the process took a lot of time and couldn't be easily automated well, lots of time spent on improving the procedures. So, he asks "What's that mat for? Fire-proofing?" "No, it does nothing for fire-proofing, customer experience people had it put there to stop noise." So he asks the customer experience dept and they say "It does nothing for noise-proofing, it's only for fire-proofing." And so, turns out someone put it in there in design phase and nobody noticed. So he optimized it away.
That's the sort of work he's doing, not just business meetings. Not actual direct science/engineering, but good actual work nevertheless.

Product feature inconvenient? Get rid of it. What a retarded joke. You consult an engineering team, not some customer appreciation hack. Every single element in.

He made a blaster game when he as 12 and sold it to a local arcade for few hundred. Sound, art, programming all him in BASIC.
Then during college he worked at Rocket Games company where he was the embed drivers programmer that wrote controller logic for a 3d game about vacuum tube trains on the moon. Then he worked on at least 2 other games in the same company 1) riding a car around dinosaurs roaming the jungle 2) rocket jockeys game where players control rocket thruster cars and score points in arena against others
The company or the devs later joined in founding lucasarts (Star wars games)

You sound like you dont know how specifications work. They feed into functional rewuirements which drive development of a low cost matching formula of the production. It is discipline.
The other route is much more costly, where elements are repetitively redrawn on the fly with no ninimum working prototype. Make a change and wait for ten thousand failures before smegma analysis is sufficiently powerful enough to diagnose it.

> with no minimum working prototype.
This is where you miss the mark.
Rapid prototyping, quickly evolving design, specifications are more of hint or guideline. Proving stuff experimentally and improving on the fly instead of trying to come up with the perfect result on paper before first test article is made.

Got a challenge for ya...have you EVER heard this guy praise any of his employees, ever, in all but the most general fashion? Have you ever heard him single out an engineer, programmer, team, etc? After the first Super Heavy flight, when most of the Raptors failed and their team rallied to fix the problems by the second flight and get all of them working in concert, did you EVER hear this fucker acknowledge this feat?
He's a fucking dick who takes all the credit for the huge pyramid of people under him. It's okay to take credit for a company you created, but the fucking way this asshole never singles out anyone or even any group of individuals is nauseating. There WILL be a time in the not-so-distant future when all his talent starts draining away when Toyota and VW introduce solid state batteries (Tesla has no such plans) or the rocket market gets to crowded (or just Harris wins the election...NASA's entire budget will go straight to Blue Origin if that happens) and the market cap of the company starts shrinking like a spilled martini. Count on it.

He doesn't even make his own Xitter posts, he has a team of hired chuds to do it for him.
He paid $44 billion for Xitter and making it seem like the world's richest man is posting on there drives engagement which in turn increases advertising revenue. He hired chuds to make controversial posts because if he hired some boring 'woke' sissy reddit twats to do it everyone would get sick of it fast and stop paying attention.

It's a single kind of chuddy social media intern in all likelyhood. But he could be doing all the tweeting himself given that he averages around five words per post, although the presentation in his shilling makes me think he probably has an intern doing all the product promotion stuff.
As for the Amerimutt politics content he almost exclusively interacts with massive conservaslop accounts. You do not need a team of experts to retweet "End wokeness", your glazers/affiliates, and influencers all over 100K followers.
His rightward turn could be seen coming from a mile away and was basically inevitable. Personally I think it has to do with a pre-existing fanbase of crypto people and push back from other businesses and government.

the labour theory of value kind of doesn't make sense when you take downtime into account
like to some degree people are present at work not doing work for various reasons
doesn't that kind of mean that a goods value also must diminish within that timeframe? thats not taken into account
that also means contrary to what it sounds like that a product with downtime is the better product since people don't work at some technocratic conveyer belt nightmare company
so in short if a product has diminished value it's actually better unless of course it can spoil then downtime is a bad thing since it artificially extends the durability of that good

This guy seems to think it's because its sourced from iran. I don't have a reason to disagree. The document doesn't damage vance enough for the stigma of reporting on foreign hacked materials.

Billionaires shouldn't be trying to save the world. It inevitably becomes bad press because today's peasants don't assume it stems from some noblesse oblige of a superior, but that a deeply flawed robber baron, an equal who got lucky, is just trying to clean up their reputation. See Carnegie, Rockefeller, Bill Gates, Alfred Nobel.
As for Musk, I don't hear many people buying that going to Mars will save us as a species. They just really like rockets and doing cool things with rockets. Or fast electric cars. Just build cool stuff and you'll be fine. Make some cool films too. I'd like someone to pay people to make films like Fitzcarraldo or Aguirre or Apocalypse Now or making films out of Ernst JĂĽnger or Asimov books, or a TV series based on Herodotus' Histories or Ovid's Metamorphoses.

that's his very optimistic estimate at that time. With spacex's current activity, 2030 Mars mission by them is very possible. He's not maliciously lying, just an optimist. Also they're not the only one holding back the artemis program, every contractor on this is late that's why this programs timeline was extended by nasa

You downloaded a mind virus from other npcs. He said 10-20 years, and it's a prediction, he didn't promise anything. Also the criticism is "never". Spacex is on track to send men to mars and way ahead of everyone else. But you can't tell the difference between that and fraud.

>literally lucky millennial riding the tech wave to disrupt major ancient industries when the gov is willing to be lenient
He got lucky. Take Tesla. You couldn't fuck with car companies before 2008. Then the recession happened and Obama was pushing for electric vehicles. Hence a lot of federal funding dropped right in his lap. Then nice legal interpretations allowed Tesla to sell direct to consumer. He's literally been riding that legal interpretation for the majority of his time. People don't buy Tesla's for the cars, they buy it because it's a significantly better purchasing experience because you don't deal with dealerships.
Rockets are similar, there was a recent extreme push for rockets, and all the old giants are just too old and were literally suffocating the government as China was blasting shit into space constantly. The government has changed a lot of its tune with space and Elon luckily had the capital and investors at the right time.
I'm not saying he's stupid by any means, but it's not hard to do especially if you're watching what the federal government actually wants and have the right moles in place. Most new wealth, even bezos, is just retarded shit. No real new cool things, just literally what happens when you're a modicum better than dinosaur companies that have been choking consumers and the government for years. Banks could have done PayPal decades ago, but dragged their feet. It wasn't new or innovative it was something we should have had in the 90s (probably they even had prototypes that they killed), but American corporations are greedy and lazy.
Again, not saying he's stupid, it's just it's not a big feat to disrupt these organizations that literally kill their own industry's 'progress' for short term gain and stability. I'll also give it to him that he's part of the newer wave of STEM undergrads taking over corporate America. The csuite will soon almost exclusively be those with undergrads in STEM and MBAs.

Yes I would say founding the entity that sends rockets into space more than anything else is a remarkable achievement. I would also say that leading a company in a terribly competitive industry burdened by regulation to a profit for the first time was a massive achievement.

The idea that there could be more stories like elon's if the government would get out of the way or throw more start-ups a bone, I agree with. And no matter how talented he was he couldn't beat a racket stacked against newcomers. But all that means is the lower rungs of the ladder were there for him, once he's on the ladder you still have to run successful companies. Cars are extremely competitive and you have a lot of international competition. It's not a bunch of slackers and taxpayer tit suckers that refused to run the ball like spaceflight. Cars are good products competing for the consumer. As for spaceflight, its more like elon is competing more with gravity than with boeing. There are other space startups, they are late compared to spacex, but we can see how they do and then we'll know how special spacex is.

The Cybertruck will be the thing remembered as the lead to Tesla's decline, but it started before that thing launched. In reality, Elon knows China will eat his lunch and it's one of the reasons he's running to Trump.

Also owning public companies the stock price can go up or down. So it's not realized wealth until it's liquid. But if someone offered you a company worth billions of dollars you're not going to say no thanks that's an "illusion" and "theoretical" when that could be real money if you just sold it. He's worth 250 billion. There's nothing that could conceivably happen that's non-apocalyptic for him to no longer be "wealthy". What's likely to happen is just "less rich" but still one of the wealthiest people on earth.
The twitter buyout was 44 billion, the company was taken private and elon owns all of it, but he's probably beholden to contracts with people who invested. Saudi Arabia invested 2 billion. Maybe reddit shouldn't be your news source

They 'took over' Aetna and then Aetna leadership replaced all the legacy CVS leadership. What ensued was all units for the company breaking down - retail stores look like shit, their PBM is losing business, Aetna is losing place in the market, etc. All of this translated to minor revenue misses, but the real power (Glenview Capital) was able to step in and take over - all over what turned out to be a revenue miss of a few hundred million. Elon is beholden to others at both Tesla and Twitter due to his decision to buy Twitter leveraging his stock. It's a driver as to why he demanded that insane CEO payout that is moving thru the courts. At some point you can piss off those who hold the strings. Despite all that wealth, there's a reason Elon bought Twitter, but he should be focusing on Space-X.

So you mean though glenview owned only a small fraction of the company, CVS owed glenview a little bit of money and that's what shifted control?

>Musk is heavily involved in public political discourse and shapes the information infrastructure he has purchased according to his own ideas. He holds libertarian views and (since 2022) predominantly right-wing political positions. Through his posts on X, he has also become known for spreading conspiracy theories and making provocative statements that have been criticized as scientifically untenable, scaremongering, anti-Semitic and transphobic, as well as “trolling”, among other things.
its called insanity and megalomania.

If he is, he's wrong. America will simply not allow Chinese cars to be sold there, Trump or Harris, Elon or not.
If you think any country is actually committed to free trade, that's because you haven't poked into their national pride industries yet.
Ford invented mass manufacturing of cars, America was built on cars more than any other nation on Earth. They already learned a lesson with Japan (which is a captive country to the US) and they will not make the same mistake again, specially when dealing with an active adversary such as China.
Tariffs, non-tariff trade barriers, embargoes, whatever it takes. Chink EVs will NOT come to America at all.

Right. Yet for all his credentials, none of his enterprises have produced any fundamental benefit to our species nor have they had any lasting impact as he hops from project to project without ever advancing any field he works in. And no, other companies didn't rediscover electric cars because of him. Like Jobs, he just knows how to market stuff to the public, and other companies don't want to bleed clients. That's all it is.

Just having two kids is a full time job let alone fucking twelve. What's the point in having children if you're not going to spend any time with them to insure they are raised right with good morals and ethics so they can carry on your legacy and be proud of them? He basically spawned twelve entitled little cunts that are going to be just the worst people alive with no work ethic and they will still carry his name.

Bezos' shareholders sued him for not contracting SpaceX for the launches, instead procuring Atlas V's. The whole pre-2023 structure of the project has essentially been cast into doubt.
2024 on, he's contracted ULA to deliver two vulcans. Company is fine but it's not SpaceX.
They plan to put 3000 satellites into orbit over the next 10-15 years, currently they have two. Blue origin's not doing shit yet, latest development is they tested the upper stage engines on New Glenn four weeks ago. Could honestly be 2+ years out at this point, which is why there is no mention anywhere about Kuiper using Bezos rockets.
Oh, they attracted a partnership with DirectTV Latin America, big win for the project.

Musk is Stockton Rush but on land and space. He has the same story of ignoring safety concerns and firing engineers that brought them. There are already many cases of Tesla vehicles causing accidents due to the AI malfunctioning and exploding batteries. It's just a matter of time before we hear stories about rockets exploding with astronauts onboard.

S 3 X Y all get top safety pick+ from the IIHS and 5 stars from NHTSA, the highest scores available, only 25-30% of cars achieve this. Self Driving has less accidents per time driven than human driving, you could argue this is because drivers aren't using self driving in challenging situations, but it doesn't matter, less death is occurring in that time. All of space'x ISS and commercial missions have gone flawlessly and nasa says they are safe. But it's just a matter of time because it just is ok. Meanwhile boeing blew it every time.
>Many were serious or disabling. The records included reports of more than 100 workers suffering cuts or lacerations, 29 with broken bones or dislocations, 17 whose hands or fingers were “crushed,” and nine with head injuries, including one skull fracture, four concussions and one traumatic brain injury. The cases also included five burns, five electrocutions, eight accidents that led to amputations, 12 injuries involving multiple unspecified body parts, and seven workers with eye injuries. Others were relatively minor, including more than 170 reports of strains or sprains.
This is over 9 years. They have thousands of people working construction. I don't know what's normal. A guy died because they didn't have tie down straps and he rode on top of insulation foam and the wind threw him. Not blaming him, but an employee unwittingly placing themselves in a dangerous situation is not the same as sending an employee into a dangerous situation.

>Carson himself eventually was fired in January 2022 after getting into a scuffle with a boss. Carson, who is African American, said he shoved the manager, a younger man, because he had repeatedly called Carson “boy,” despite Carson’s requests that he stop. “Boy” is widely considered a racial epithet by Americans when used to refer to a Black man.

Yes but the fact that he can grasp whatever his team of engineers, designers and manifacturers do lets him streamline the workflow, allocate funds more efficently and make informed decisions on big changes.
In other words, he's 10x better than any board of directors who are just suits that think of budget and final results, without even talking of the ever so common problem of business managers throwing money on problems blindly hoping the development teams can somehow get it down. This also applies to government agencies with all the career politicians careening projects around like a headless chicken.
Elon is a most capable captain of his companies. Him being brash, kind of awkward or a bit obnoxious doesn't make him bad at his job. If that was the case, he wouldn't be the richest man in the world.
