Tl,dr: Musk is irratic and has no plan, per a journalist who has covered him for five years.

    His supporters are confused and, perhaps, starting to feel the cracks of cognitive dissonance. “Surely someone who can figure out how to build spaceships can figure out how to distinguish scrapers from legit users,” Graham—the same one who supported Musk in November—tweeted on Saturday.

    Elon stans still stanning.

    How can anyone watch this dumpster fire and conclude that Elon Musk knows what he’s doing with this company? My only guess is that he’s intentionally tanking it so he can get out of it through Chapter 13.

    EDIT

    Most importantly…Elon Musk does not build spaceships. He runs a company that builds them. He is not a rocket scientist.

      A lot of people look at how a company is doing and credit their success to the handful of people in leadership positions or in the public eye. Unless people can see your name and face you basically don’t exist as anything more than an interchangeable cog in a machine. It’s hard for people to give you credit when they don’t know that you exist or what you do.
