I don't admire his tweets or latest shenanigans, but I do admire his work in engineering and AI. In those specific fields, he is quite the visionary, knowing how to position the right people in the right places with a clear future goal in mind. More often than not, his foresight proves accurate. Specific examples of the engineering decisions and designs manifested in SpaceX or Tesla include innovations such as the Octovalve, Gigacasting, FSD computer, the reusability of Falcon 9 with landings, Merlin and Raptor rocket engines, and the general software architecture in Tesla cars. The list goes on for technology enthusiasts like me.
You don't have to appreciate everything about him — I certainly don't — but as someone who loves technology, I can't help but recognize how his vision has propelled America further into the future.
Part of me wishes he had delved into nuclear science to solve fusion instead of purchasing Twitter. Perhaps, though, he's past his prime.
If you've followed Musk for some time you'd know there is a lot of noise around whatever he does. The Twitter saga is far from over and we don't really know what the outcome will be for quite some time. It took Tesla 10 years to prove people wrong. Is Elon a saint? No.
But he is good at letting the right people work toward a vision of the future that he sees possible.
Musk has consistently proven himself to be a driving force behind the sustained success of every company under his leadership. Disparaging attitudes towards Elon seem to follow popular opinion rather than fact. While there's plenty of justifiable criticism, the points frequently echoed here don't contribute meaningfully to constructive discourse.
Edit: The prevalence of downvotes simply underscores my argument. How does this platform distinguish itself from Reddit, when it harbors a similar degree of negativity and concerted downvoting targeted at individuals participating in earnest conversation?
I checked out connect because of the comments here, and I have to say that's it's freaking awsome. Really lives up to the sync feel. Keep up the great work👌
