    I don’t know that he has helped build anything. He has helped hype 2 companies.
    He did great PR when someone was managing him, but recently his PR is poison.
    SpaceX is managed by someone competent, musk has - quite frankly - little to do with the company.
    Tesla is riding the hype from before musk took off the mask. I give them 4 years, tops. If it’s not already on the way down.

    Intel needs to be run and managed by engineers. That’s what we want from core components. Not hype, not bubbles, not marketing speak, not fancy names and confusing part numbers. We want actual engineers who have thought through the implications of their decisions all the way to the end consumer. We want hardware that works and is predictable.

      Tom Mueller the person who was at SpaceX at the start would wholly disagree with you and says so online, as have other people, but instead people just say they are saving face and rely on anonymous sources to say he does jack all.

      So like I said, ignorance.

      It’s blissful sure, but it’s ignorance.

      Edit: there are plenty of reasons to hate and dunk on the dude, but people love to enhance it with stuff like he doesn’t and never did do anything to make their hate seem even more worthy. All it does though is make you look ignorant.
