I'm not sure if he realizes how stupid that makes him sound

[-] db2@lemmy.world 142 points 2 months ago

He's that stupid, so no, he doesn't.

[-] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 45 points 2 months ago

He sounds very Trumpian.

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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 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".

[-] Johanno@feddit.org 16 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] piccolo@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Its many reasons the saturn V can never be rebuilt. We know the plans and specs, but all the details of the manufacturering were all held by the people doing the work. Each one was unique.

[-] skvlp@lemm.ee 74 points 2 months ago

I wouldn’t expect anything less of Phony Stark.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 months ago

I've not heard that before, it's very good.

Did... did he actually say this? I knew this guy was full of it, but that's a whole other level.

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 23 points 2 months ago

Sounds very much like Trump's mode of speech. Best/biggest in history yadda yadda

[-] Tyfud@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

This is Narcissistic behavior, not exclusive to trump, but only because trump and musk are both Narcissists of a high caliber.

[-] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 15 points 2 months ago

Yep. Just watch any of Thunderfoot's musk videos and you'll see that clip featured at least once.

"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."

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

And don't forget the little team that makes me believe it was me all the time!

[-] jayk@lemmy.ca 29 points 2 months ago

the creator of the cybertruck

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 26 points 2 months ago

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.

"See son, this is what can happen if you're too inexperienced."

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

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

I don't know about genius, but he sure is a stable guessing from the amount of horseshit in him.

Mr. Musk could manufacture himself into a fine powder.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

Been around the orange so long he thinks he can lie and get away with it too

[-] Zink@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately he has similar real-world experience to trump’s: Be a total shitbag and get handsomely rewarded by it in the ways he cares about. I mean why care about being a horrible husband and father when there’s money and fame to be had?

[-] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 months ago

I'd love to see his engineering drawings.

Hope it doesn't sound arrogant when I say that I am the greatest man in the world.

Maybe manufacturing stock manipulations, nothing tangible.

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Shame. Shame upon you!
