@dfyx there was an article some years ago about how Tesla basically succeeded in spite of Elon. Given how the cybertruck, his personal project, went I think that is probably true. Any success we see from "his" company occurs in spite of him.
I remember a dude was trying to tell me why Elon was so special and he said "there was this exploding clip that cost $30,000 at NASA and he pointed at the engineer and said, 'make it for $1,000'. They did!"
And I was like, "how is that his accomplishment?"

@rorystarr @DFYX when you are up against NASA it would be an accomplishment to just pay $29,999 for the $30,000 clip
