Tangential but there was a leaked Zoom call doing the rounds a few years ago of Musk when he first joined twitter with the tech staff, and one of the participants politely pressing Musk on what he meant by the buzz-words he kept throwing out and to explain exactly what he wanted them to do in terms actual systems related tasks.

It ended exactly like the convo above - Musk at a loss for words then a stream of ad hominems.
