Fun fact: Musk isn't an engineer at all.

Engineering qualifications are pretty specific, and usually the term shouldn't be used loosely if those qualifications aren't there. Musk's education ended at the Baccalaureate level, but crucially in Physics and Economics. He pushes himself as some kind of engineering mastermind, but it's hard to pin down why.

Contrary to popular belief, he also is not a founder of Tesla.

188k likes? I don't Twitter. Is the echo chamber really that bad or does he just have it set to automatically give him like 150k likes on every post through the backend?

Elon Musk isn't an engineer. He's a capitalist. (Plays with money)

Imagine having more money than your extended family could ever spend, the ear of the President, unelected power over governmental institutions, zero accountability, your entire family line can do anything and everything they could ever want... and still choosing to spend your limited time on this planet arguing with internet trolls, hoarding money, and throwing slurs at the science people who made your company and obscene wealth possible. That's why billionaires are pathetic...

Tesla is a good car? 🤔🧐🤨😐

My favorite part of is that the reason there is so little convective heat transfer is space is the same reason the temperature is so low.

I get this isn't super common knowledge but yikes lol

All that money, power and fame... and he types slurs at people who criticize him online. There are many facets of pathetic to this.

Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.

I know everyone's got a different set of filters but how does it take one until the cool things in space post to find out, if they're curious enough to know of space radiators already?

Let's be very clear about one thing: Musk is not an engineer. He employs engineers, but he is not an engineer himself. He has given himself the title of Chief Engineer at SpaceX, but that's no different than me giving myself the title of Chief Surgeon. It's meaningless. The actual engineers at Tesla and SpaceX are very capable, though perhaps misguided, as one would have to be to work to further the interests of a megalomaniacal mega-dork like Musk. Unfortunately, many of these actual engineers must also have a kind of cult-like, sycophantic devotion to Musk, which is why none of them have the guts to tell him that AI data centers in space is a stupid fucking idea.

One would think an academic would realize that the hype man doesn't actually do any engineering.

Elon never was an engineer. He hired amazing engineers who managed to make amazing things despite his constant incompetent meddling.

188k people like Elon’s ableist deflection.

What the goddamned fuck.

Tbf elon was probably just talking to a mirror
