On “Starship has been fully stacked”

He does not like the Howard Hughes comparison. He wants his inventions to actually change the way thins are done in everyday live. Watch this interview with a former Astronaut who worked with SpaceX for Crew Dragon. He made this comparison on TV and talked about it with Musk: link to this video Quite a funny story.

On “Risky Business: Interview with Marc Andreessen (2018)”

One example: an interview with link link to this video I'm a fan of Musk's work, but there's plenty to criticize about the man. However, there's little doubt that he's an extremely smart person.

On “SpaceX successfully launches two humans into orbit”

Elon doesn't like the Howard Hughes comparisons because Hughes innovations didn't change the everyday experience of people. See this story: link to this video

On “Why Elon Musk is not an engineer”

That remembers me Joe Rogan's "What is it Like to Work for Elon Musk?" 1 When Garrett Reisman who previously worked with Elon says: He's a very that BROAD engineer and can talk at the same table with their top engineer employees. So totally discrediting the blog post. I think it's actually the last refuge of the "title" mindset. Engineers solve problems using engineering principles; period. If you have a Engineer's degree, PhD or you build pyramids it doesn't matter. 1: link to this video

On “Ask HN: What good does running Twitter have to do with getting to mars?”

You’re referring to the interview by Joe Rogan w/ Garrett Reisman 1, and what you wrote was not what was said. What was said was that every major decision taken at SpaceX was gauged by whether or not it brought humanity closer to self-sustainable life on Mars. Besides, why presume to know better? Don’t you think he already knows it’s added responsibility? Of course he does. Musk knows how to properly allocate his time, and how to delegate the task of handling Twitter to someone else. His involvement in ventures like OpenAI and Neuralink never stopped Tesla or SpaceX from accomplishing anything, so why start worrying now? 1 link to this video

On “Jack Dorsey texts Elon Musk, March 26, 2022”

…im Keller3). Unless you present your engineering qualifications that are of equivalent credibility as that of the aforementioned people, as well as present evidence that you've worked with him as closely with Elon Musk as some of these folks have, I'll stick with my conclusion that, yes, he's indubitably an engineer. 0: link 1: link 2: link to this video , link 3 link…

On “SpaceX alums are branching out and shaping the startup economy”

…of a history to know when he chooses to join and leave companies. There must be a lot of lower level engineers who have to be developing all these amazing subsystems in the car and other products. Wonder what the turn over is for the really skilled people. Maybe the truly burnt out people or just stragglers are the ones you are encountering. 1: link to this video…
