I’ll start it off:

  • Windows is a perfectly fine OS, as long as you use Enterprise or Server (Home and Pro are crap)
  • Self driving cars are the future since the US won’t fully embrace mass transit

Do you have any examples of good decisions he made? From what I remember he bought Tesla well after it was making money and not much has changed except his decision to remove lidar sensors and he keeps promising new cars or features that don't come out for 5+ years, I don't know what decisions he made with spacex, the hyperloop was never a feasible idea, twitter seems to have gotten worse since he bought it, and I don't knowb if the boring company is still around honestly. Plus there's the stuff like his Doge coin rug pull, doing an actual Nazi salute because Trump was elected, and the allegations about him helping rig the election for Trump, stealing taxpayer money and data, aiding the antagonists in the Russia-Ukraine war, and the Epstein-related claims.

I won't try to claim he's done nothing positive, but I actually can't think of anything.

    Your memory is wildly inaccurate. Tesla was incorporated in July 2003, Musk got a controlling share in February 2004 (7 months later), and the company began production of its first car model, the Roadster sports car, in 2008.

    I don't know what decisions he made with spacex

    Basically everything to do with their reusable rockets and their decision to build Starlink.

    and I don't knowb if the boring company is still around honestly.

    I think you haven't actually been paying any attention to Musk's activities beyond what the "hive mind" has been telling you. Which is exactly my point here.

    That whole paragraph of stuff where you're complaining about how awful Musk is had nothing to do with engineering decisions.
