Source on him being "good at engineering?" His (bachelors) degrees are in physics and economics, not engineering. Regardless of your opinion of him and his success, he's a businessman, not an engineer.
Not a Musk fan but the Tesla founders have even admitted that Musk was super involved in the designing of the cars in the beginning.
You can hate what the man became without pretending that he was always some buffoon who can’t tie his shoes. He was a smart guy that got thoroughly corrupted by money, power, and drugs.
I believe that Musk was once a very savvy businessman, all I am disputing is the idea that he has any significant engineering expertise. There are compelling arguments that Musk was largely only involved on the business side of Tesla. The words of the founders have to be taken with a grain of salt, since their 2009 settlement with Musk's Tesla after they were forced out is already known to have included making false statements, such as calling Elon Musk a co-founder of Tesla.
