    I remember getting screamed at by his fanbois when I tried to explain that he wasn’t actually an engineer, and was a shitty lying piece of filth.

    Then he fired his PR team and it all came out.

    (Edit, a small but important word. Seriously new-phone autocorrect sucks.)

      I thought his fanbois are trying to convince everyone that he is an engineer? They took issue with this? What do they claim he is then?

        Sorry, auto incorrect struck again.

        He’s not an engineer. The degree he has wasn’t one he earned through course work, and he doesn’t understand basic engineering principles.

        You can see that in the cyber truck which was his baby and fucked to hell.

        Or the stupid mini-sub for the Thai soccer team that was trapped in the cave.

        Don’t even get me started on hyperloop.

        He wasn’t a founder at Tesla, be bought his way in during their first majorly round of funding and then sued for the right to be called a “founder”.

        The real engineers at his companies try very desperately to keep him away from their shit.

          Ah, ok. Yeah, that’s been my experience with his fans, too. They think he’s some kind of super whiz kid and get annoyed when I ask for credible evidence of this…well, more evidence than Worthington’s Law anyway. And, seriously, when it comes to the likes of dimbulb donnie and melon husk, Worthington’s Law is all the fanbois have.
