    No, he didn’t. He has no knowledge of rockets outside of Wikipedia. He has no knowledge of engineering outside of some shit science show.

    I have worked with engineers who worked with him at Tesla and they say he is a functional idiot, borderline mentally defective. He will go into meeting and act like he understand magnetism and everyone has to sit there awkwardly listening for an hour about him rambling on like a moronic 6th grader until he leaves.

      Yeah, you’re right, what was I thinking? Your second-hand knowledge is totally more accurate than my firsthand knowledge. I definitely didn’t have technical conversations with him about propellant margins due to boil-off during coast. I absolutely wasn’t there when he agilely and correctly answered a barrage of technical questions from a 3-star General.

      I’m not saying he is all-knowing and all-powerful. I don’t doubt he is so arrogant that he would ramble on about something he doesn’t understand… especially magnetism, since I never understood that shit even after years of physics classes during college. But just because he is an idiot about the deep physics behind how electric cars run doesn’t mean he is stupid about all things.
