I’m not sure if he realizes how stupid that makes him sound
He’s that stupid, so no, he doesn’t.
He sounds very Trumpian.
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.
I like to shit on Elon as much as the next person, but as someone who works in aerospace mfg, if he understands 3% of SpaceX’s manufacturing and supply chain he is already in the top 99.9999999%. What they have accomplished is absolutely unfathomable and why we have to make exceptions when hiring experienced SpaceX people into our company to pay 2-3x standard pay for them. They really really know their shit and are making everyone in the industry better by leaving SpaceX.
Edit: ITT a bunch of people who have never held a real job outside of ex-Reddit mod and pretending to be an tankie while mommy and daddy pay all of your bills, pretending they understand mfg ops and supply chain. Optimization is extremely difficult and at my last tech job we had to hire a bunch of PhDs to help us figure out a supply chain network issue. The simulations would have to run for hours and took thousands in compute daily.

Former twitter engineer here. Maybe he paid more attention at his other companies but Elon was comically clueless about how the twitter machine worked. Hiring geohot and thinking a firmware cracker could make heads or tails of a massively distributed system was pure idiocy.
Okay and how do you really think twitter has been affected? Is it less influential than before he bought it? Less functional? As an outsider it sure doesn’t seem like it.
It’s quite a bit less functional. There have been dozens of high profile outages and service interruptions.
And we’re saying that Elon knows <1% of any manufacturing process, evidenced by inconsistencies of manufacturing process across all his companies. The employees know more, yes, but they are not Elon and Elon is not SpaceX.
And, for starters, not unfathomable but made possible through VC money and years of R&D. This makes it possible and completely fathomable. It’s all maths and science.
Yoooo whats your company are they hiring all positions?? Or is this sr engineers
You don’t want to work for my company. You’re welcome
Fucking idiots will down vote you but this is the truth and something a lot of people who work or have worked with Musk say. The guy knows his shit. He didn’t get to be the richest guy on earth because of South African emeralds or whatever. He’s changing the world. Love him or hate him, you don’t matter. If you think he’s a moron then do better and take him down.

He became the richest guy on earth because the system is set up to give you infinite money when you hit critical mass of wealth. Why do you think the rich keep getting richer and the poor get poorer?
He did not get here because he’s smart; he’s rich and was too rich to fail. He got a leg up in emerald mines which allowed him to gamble and invest during the early internet days, thus allowing him to continue to invest/gamble.
He’s certainly helping to change the world but not for the better. His philosophies that guide his policies are inciting violence and giving rise to racism and misogyny.
I definitely think he’s a moron, but the system is set up so that I can’t possibly take him or his ilk down. I wasn’t born into a family that owned heaps of wealth and slavery. I’m not a white male.
But in % comparisons, my quality of life is much better than his. That’s where I can take him down.
End rant.
money is the most important! must lick rich man’s asshole!
Did… did he actually say this? I knew this guy was full of it, but that’s a whole other level.
Sounds very much like Trump’s mode of speech. Best/biggest in history yadda yadda
This is Narcissistic behavior, not exclusive to trump, but only because trump and musk are both Narcissists of a high caliber.
What’s your evidence that he doesn’t know it? All these claims that he knows nothing, but I never see any proof or evidence.
Like, yeah, he has a team, because nothing gets done with just one person. That is not evidence for him not knowing how things work.
My proof is that actually that my pet cat knows more about manufacturing than he does, therefore he doesn’t know the most. In fact, my cat knows literally everything possible to know about manufacturing. It’s amazing. And if you don’t believe me, then you need to show your evidence that it isn’t true. Also, my cat doesn’t routinely give misinformation about the capabilities of the products made by their companies.

💀💀💀
How do you know the amount he knows? Your cats knowledge, unfortunately, does not shine light on the matter.
My evidence are the videos and articles where people who work with him say he is heavily involved. But you made he claim he doesn’t know it. I never see evidence he doesn’t.
Wooosh
I got the point you were trying to make, it just not a good one
“I” was trying to make?
double whoosh!
I’ve read articles that said he was heavily involved too. They did not give the impression that he was helping.
He doesn’t work in manufacturing. He owns companies that work in manufacturing.
I’m not a medical expert just because I pay my medical bills.
He does both. He owns it. He also goes down onto the manufacturing floors and gets his hands dirty sometimes
It’s like saying the doctor who owns his own clinic has no idea what the nurses do.
No, it’s like saying that a businessman who owns a hospital has no ideas what the doctors are doing, despite the fact that once a month he shows up in scrubs to push a patient’s wheelchair for a photo op.
Mmm, more like if the business man also spent all his time learning about medicine, got a degree in both medicine and business and spent time brainstorming and diagnosing patients
looks like you should open a hole-digging business.
Even then, that would not make that businessman the most knowledgeable in the world about medicine
This is like when Papa John would come shoot a commercial at one of his franchisee’s stores.
The trim coming off of the Cybertruck while driving down the highway or the steering wheel coming off of his cars would hint that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Musk is the one making the claims. It’s his job to prove his own statements.
That’s how we know he was in charge.
Wait, if he’s only a talking head and doesn’t help or know anything then why is the steering wheel coming off his fault? Wouldn’t that be the fault of the engineers or manufacturing techs who work on it?
Because if he was truly such a genious he would know it’s not right and fix it himself, or in general know how to have higher quality assurances.
I would say the fact that he isn’t a P.E. is enough for me.
If he was some mastermind engineer like he claims, he could easily pass the FE without even needing to study.
Everyone else in the world needs to prove their credentials, why doesn’t he?
Everyone else in the world doesn’t need to prove their credentials, there are plenty of people who know what’s up without credentials. He has a Degree in physics and has self-taught himself many things. Some people are just good at learning things and he’s one of them.
Yes people have to prove themselves, what the fuck are you talking about about? You can’t just engineer a skyscraper because you say you are really good at it. The FE exists for a reason.
This stupid motherfucker didn’t know about some shit you’d think he actually WOULD be an expert on - EV charging legislation.
I guess he’s been busy sucking Trump’s cock lately.
So anyway, how do I completely block Lemmy.ml 🤔 🤷♂️
Go troll in your toilet.
Opinions that differ from yours aren’t trolling.
Let’s examine why your comment was interpreted as a troll statement.
Message you responded to was asking if the captions actually matched what was said by this individual. The second bit notes the individual is known to be “full of it” which generally means “speaking nonsense, lying, or exaggerating”.
Last I heard, musk has regularly exaggerated in his statements. And I believe has been known to lie on occasion.
So, you have an honest question asking to find the source of the clip and your immediate response is, where is your proof he doesn’t know more than anyone else on the planet when it comes to manufacturing.
Either you woefully misinterpreted the comment or you didn’t read it at all or the simplest answer, you’re a troll.
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”.
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.
“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.”
And don’t forget the little team that makes me believe it was me all the time!
I wouldn’t expect anything less of Phony Stark.
the creator of the cybertruck
The creator of the electric semi truck and roaster 2nd generation… wait a second seems like they are having some manufacturing issues
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):
The true stable genius. Such wow
Been around the orange so long he thinks he can lie and get away with it too
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.
I’d love to see his engineering drawings.
the closest thing i guess would be his hyperloop white paper lol
Hope it doesn’t sound arrogant when I say that I am the greatest man in the world.
And I am the most humble, if I might add!
Maybe manufacturing stock manipulations, nothing tangible.
Shame. Shame upon you!
