It’s true. While he has a bachelors in Physics, you won’t be able to work as a physicist without a PhD. He can’t write code. He and Thiel financed PayPal; Max Levchin, who I was friends with in college, was the technical genius behind the platform.
Musk purchased Tesla and sued the actual founders to force them to call him a founder; they quit because it was so ridiculous. He purchased SpaceX and StarLink. At no point did he do any engineering with any of those companies. Once the actual visionary engineers and scientists who created these companies figure out they’re being led by a PT Barnum (“there’s a sucker born every minute”) type they leave.
As you can see with AI, there’s trillions in capital available if any investor thought going to Mars was a good idea. They don’t, so he’s selling fantasies to the public and trying to get the government to pay for it. Talk about waste, fraud and abuse.
