I used to think Elon Musk was a smart entrepreneur or whatever, until two things happened: I bought a Tesla, which started to sow my first doubts about how well his execution is going, and then he bought Twitter and started taking direct control over software engineering activities inside it.

I happen to know a lot about software engineering. As a result, I now know he is completely incompetent. 🙃

@ariadne Yes I went through a similar progression with him; I did appreciate that he had a singular vision and was pushing things forward, if in a fairly irresponsible way. IMO the most important thing we should be doing is finding a way to teraform before the asteroid/nuclear war kills us all. Anyway, but then he took over twitter and fired all the accessibility people... so it was like wow OK nevermind, now I know you're just a rich nutball. Dodged a bullet there!

@objectinspace @ariadne the real reason he wants to go to mars is to be the real life version of Vilos Cohaagen
