"Musk isn't a real engineer, and without engineers, Tesla dies." As a manufacturing, and electromrchanical product design engineer for 3 decades I am calling troll bullshit jealousy on part A of this quote.
EM is a fine engineer in many disciplines. Mechanical, software, aerospace, rocket engine development, I am very impressed at his manufacturing engineering, and his management (which includes hiring the best). Plenty of mistakes made, but his embrace of breaking prototypes to learn fast has been remarkable. I have been following Tesla and SpaceX since before Model S and during the early rocket testing in Macgregor TX. I have been listening to EM all the while. He is clearly visionary. Any one who can't credit EM with real engineering chops, clearly is not a working engineer. As to parts B & C, that is obvious, and so what? Do you think any other similar edeavors are different? As far as behavior goes, lots of mistakes there. EM is on the spectrum and still does pretty well. I have to take the good and the bad to have a balanced outlook. He would likely not hire me, if for no reason than I like laying in the sun an planting stuff to make my yard prettier, more than I like the corporate engineering environment. I can still repect real accomplishment.
