Literally, every time Musk says anything in your own field (mine are UX design and programming), you immediately realise he’s a dumbass who knows nothing about anything and is literally bullshitting his way to the top, paraphrasing smarter people without understanding what he’s saying, and just declaring himself a genius.
Thankfully I learnt this very early because he bullshitted about my field pretty early on. Everyone seems to get there eventually, the more industries he claims expertise in.
Ain’t it most of the billionaires? They just know how to tell big lies so that they can earn more money.
When questioned about Twitter, he didn’t even know the difference between front-end and back-end on coding. He has done code before at Ebay (it was all re-written by others before deployment), but he should know that and yet it is completely lost on him.
I’m not convinced he coded at eBay. I think he did some markup, which was not coding. That feels like code to someone who doesn’t know what coding is.
that’s like me saying “you know I do a little coding myself” and the entirety of my experience is setting up a Geocities page in html in the 90s, setting my xanga background picture and music, and aliasing a few bash commands and setting up an update script.
tbf everyone at work thinks I’m a tech god because I spend 2 minutes clicking around menu options before calling IT and I wear glasses
Yeah that tracks. I didn’t pay that much attention to the details on that.
Elon has never been an engineer, so let’s set the record straight. He has nothing to do with the quality of Teslas. Any moron who thinks Elon is a good engineer, when he has zero engineering experience nor, to my knowledge any engineering education, immediately loses all respect in my eyes.
No no no, he is an engineer, designer, CEO of three companies, CTO of a company, father of 14, avid computer gamer, ketamine addict, Nazi aficionado, and Zombie Twitter poster extraordinaire with the sickest memes in the galaxy!
Don’t get jealous because he works at least 70 hours a day. You just wished you could be that productive. /s
Funny, though, that this issue with cooling problems is a long known issue in all things space. This should be obvious to anyone who has seen the cooling fans (infrared radiator plates) of the ISS. And they try to be very, wery careful with creating waste heat.
Maybe Elon should ask someone who actually knows something about space instead of an AI. I mean, this guy has a f-ing company that sends rockets into space. Someone there must be capable to do an ELI5 on that topic, so even Elon can understand it.
He doesn’t want to understand it. He wants to break through it and some sleazy and/or desperate engineers are telling him everything he wants to hear. They understand that it’s impossible but they also understand that if they don’t cater to his fragile ego they’ll be looking for a new job and no job will ever pay more.
Elon legitimately believes that nothing is impossible because his entire life he’s been able to pay other people to fix his problems for him and he can’t handle the idea that he’s not the most special important smartest boy.
Unfortunately for him, ambition is all well and good but we obey the laws of physics in this universe.
The funny thing is I’m pretty sure he could have achieved a lot more with the space stuff if he wasn’t so deadset on grandstanding and picking up irrelevant bullshit.
Exactly, he actually kind of was heading in the right direction but when you end up mentally stuck at age 12 it will never be enouh.
Well, this academic still has enough respect for Elon to pay him for a blue checkmark…
Musk sounds like a genius to people who are not experts in things Musk talks about.
The worst of Dunning Kruger manifest.
I’m with the Felon Mu$krat on this one. Anyone who thinks he’s an engineer is retarded.
any got the source of Elon saying that about cooling in space? I’d love to send it round some friends
I think we will see those small things, basically a single server rack with huge solar panels and cooling radiators. Some companies are really motivated to burn someone’s money for that and it is somewhat realistic to pull off, even with the big challenge of cooling. At the same time it also makes zero economic sense and has next to no computing power to even a small datacentre back on earth.
Cooling is just one of the challenges with data centers in space, though.
Indeed, which is why they are just choosing to launch merely a single rack and that blows up to a massive undertaking while delivering next to nothing in compute.
Data centers in space is some of the stupidest shit I’ve ever read.
I want the fucker to try. Let him blow billions in chasing a stupid idea.
He hasn’t been involved in an engineer project in 20+ years. He did some SWE at paypal and then lead some of the first teams at spacex. That was the last time he was even 2 steps removed from a tech team.
Everything since then has been filtered through multiple layers of middle management and executive staff. It would be way more reasonable to respect him as a businessman or maybe a visionary than an engineer. (not that I’m advocating for the existence of that respect in the first place).
Yet he wants to be the first author in articles published by his research teams:
https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=8qD8mxQAAAAJ&hl=en
he should go to spaace
See this is how you know he is kind of full of crap, he won’t step on one of his rockets. Credit to Bezos, at least he was willing to take a ride. Unfortunately, it was a successful launch and landing.
Damn
I did’t expect Elon say the word Retarded on X
He hears space is cold, immediately thinks that will cool data centers. And some kids in Lemmy think he is an engineer genius.
