I remember hearing a while back that Musk made an executive decision at Tesla to not use LIDAR. I thought: "That's a stupid decision. At least invest in making it better if you think its not sufficient" and I had a quite negative view of his engineering abilities ever since. Seeing as a Tesla can be fooled by a projector these days, I'm willing to die on that hill. I will admit that he is an exceptional businessman, most people would piss away a fortune if given one, but an engineer he is not, not by a loooooooong way.

He is now pissing away a fortune with twitter.

He's exchanging money for, adoration, power and control of a narrative. I think he wants to run for president someday

If he wants to run for US president, then there would have to be an amendment since he was not born in the US.

As if silly little things like "The Law" or "The Constitution" matter to conservatives these days....
