Elon is not stupid and definitely had something to do with the success of Falcon 9.

Elon is amazing at lying to people to get them to hand him money. That's his primary skill. He's extremely good at it, absolutely and undeniably true. He can tell stories like a pro (he is, it's his job).

Beyond that? No, not at all.

There are some videos of him talking tech, and it may sound impressive to laymen, but anyone with the experience of a three month internship can tell he doesn't understand shit.

Look at what he can get some when he fucks off: Falcon 9, the first few Tesla cars. Look what he does when he gets involved: fraudulent solar roofs, car tunnels that don't exist in any real way, cyber truck, Tesla semi, xAI, Twitter, starships to Mars, fake humanoid robots that can't even perform on a fake stage.

The only great thing he's actively involved in is Starlink, which is an amazing tool to funnel more venture capital into SpaceX, and a company that won't see 2030.
