I like to shit on Elon as much as the next person, but as someone who works in aerospace mfg, if he understands 3% of SpaceX’s manufacturing and supply chain he is already in the top 99.9999999%. What they have accomplished is absolutely unfathomable and why we have to make exceptions when hiring experienced SpaceX people into our company to pay 2-3x standard pay for them. They really really know their shit and are making everyone in the industry better by leaving SpaceX.
Edit: ITT a bunch of people who have never held a real job outside of ex-Reddit mod and pretending to be an tankie while mommy and daddy pay all of your bills, pretending they understand mfg ops and supply chain. Optimization is extremely difficult and at my last tech job we had to hire a bunch of PhDs to help us figure out a supply chain network issue. The simulations would have to run for hours and took thousands in compute daily.
I’m not sure if he realizes how stupid that makes him sound
