What does Elon musk do *really*? He has people to manage his companies so he has to manage those. He has vision, first principles thinking and risk appetite. He’s chief meme officer. What else? Seems like the latter is his comparative advantage

His range is impressive. Intuitions are dead-on in about 80% of the technical fields he touches. The other 20% he gets wrong. And he gets there in months to years and does better than people who’ve logged decades refining tactical prowess but developing zero strategic intuition.

This causes reactions ranging from resentment to confusion to disbelief. Doesn’t help that his PR shenanigans, Barnum showmanship, and shitposting make non-engineers doubt his technical abilities. Some people even think he’s pure marketer/showman. Laughably untrue.
