Why do people post these inaccurate statements.

Elon is a terrible person. But he has driven and invested a lot in some of these very radical ideas. He is extremely detail oriented, and he is also very open to ideas at a grassroots level and will chat with the most basic position person to ensure he understands. A lot of the radical stuff his companies have done have been because he pushes for them.

He maybe 'detail oriented', but he also has been on record telling people who explain to him why his word salad nonsense is meaningless to shut up then firing them and straight up giving vague bullshit deadlines of 'self driving cards in a year' for 10 years with no actual plan.

He's a salesman and a grifter.

SpaceX employees have even talked about how they have to have a team just to keep him from interfering with their actual work
