    I would argue that anyone capable of dispassionately studying this subject can equally easily find that Elon Musk is not a reliable source of information (I’d dare say a liar) , eg:

    • the famous solar city presentation where Musk showcased several houses with solar tiles. The houses were a tv set for Desperate Hosewives, and tiles he was showing off simply didn’t exist. That can’t imagine a scenario where this could be an honest mistake.
    • the funding secured tweet from 2018 where he claimed he had enough money to take Tesla private at 420 USD / share. He got sued therefore we know he didn’t - even remotly.

    I don’t know whether Elon is a genius or not - but when somebody, who is proven to be somewhat creative with the truth, also claims that he is a genius - specially in the “I know more about manufacturing than anyone else alive” manner - I don’t think it is unreasonable to have doubts.

      The discussion was about wether he’s personally involved in the design of the SpaceX rockets or not.

      He’s not designing the rockets, dude. He’s on ketamine posting rot about The Jews.

      This is what I’m arguing against.
