I'm not sure if he realizes how stupid that makes him sound

[–] [email protected] 145 points 3 weeks ago

He's that stupid, so no, he doesn't.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 weeks ago

He sounds very Trumpian.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

The charitable interpretation is that it was just hyperbole as a joke. Unfortunately, for that to be true, he would have to think it's a ridiculous thing to say and I'm not sure he does.

Did... did he actually say this? I knew this guy was full of it, but that's a whole other level.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds very much like Trump's mode of speech. Best/biggest in history yadda yadda

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 weeks ago

This is Narcissistic behavior, not exclusive to trump, but only because trump and musk are both Narcissists of a high caliber.

[–] DakRalter 16 points 3 weeks ago

Yep. Just watch any of Thunderfoot's musk videos and you'll see that clip featured at least once.

I work in manufacturing industry as a production planner. Although I am in a central position, from everything that happens on the factory floor to make a complete product, I know surprisingly little. There are so mind bogglingly many little details in the process. That's why there are so fucking many of us here.

From where I'm sitting, the higher you go on the management ladder more clueless people are about the actual manufacturing process. They don't need to know to do their job. They just need to listen when somebody who knows tells them the abbreviated version when necessary.

Elon does not appear to be a listener.

He's just a pompous narcissist or possibly a full blown psycho. Not sure what his tallent is.

His main talent is "already having lots of money".

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

The more proficient and knowledgeable in a topic you are you usually tend to see how much you don't know yet.

Rarely someone who is actually good is going to claim to know the most in a topic.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Its many reasons the saturn V can never be rebuilt. We know the plans and specs, but all the details of the manufacturering were all held by the people doing the work. Each one was unique.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I wouldn’t expect anything less of Phony Stark.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've not heard that before, it's very good.

"At this point, I think I pay enough talented people who know things to make it look like I actually know things so I can focus on acting like a fool on social media platforms and interviews."

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

And don't forget the little team that makes me believe it was me all the time!

When I was a kid my parents wouldn't let me make my own pinewood derby car, even though I had done one already without issue the previous year. My dad then proceeded to put a 1/2" drill bit through his hand while doing it for me. I always found that kind of funny.

I needed to find the source to hear the tone of that statement for myself - it's from an interview from 2022 (link is timestamped):

Mr. Musk could manufacture himself into a fine powder.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

This right here is the kind of blind confidence someone smart and self aware could never fake. You have to be so far up your own ass or a page strait out of the dsm to say some shit like this.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Been around the orange so long he thinks he can lie and get away with it too

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Unfortunately he has similar real-world experience to trump’s: Be a total shitbag and get handsomely rewarded by it in the ways he cares about. I mean why care about being a horrible husband and father when there’s money and fame to be had?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Hope it doesn't sound arrogant when I say that I am the greatest man in the world.

I'd love to see his engineering drawings.

Maybe manufacturing stock manipulations, nothing tangible.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 weeks ago

Shame. Shame upon you!
