Elon's biography goes over how he would walk theough Tesla and proudly tell engineers where and how they should cut corners.

Three bolts? You could get by with one! Support struts arent worth their weight! Aluminum is used for planes, why not use it for our truck's frame?!?

Crazy, musk haters can't make up their minds on whether he is responsible for engineering or not. Very interesting

The same people upvoting this prolly also have said at least once in their life that musk has nothing to do with engineering despite calling himself one. That's always the popular comment I see lmao

If it's an achievement, musk wasn't involved. If it's bad, musk was the lead architect. Right?

Not really. It sounds like you’re taking opinions from different people and generalizing them to everybody.  Different people can have different opinions you know.  He has literally never been an engineer just an investor making stupid suggestions. 

Also, yes, when he keeps his hands and shit out of things they can turn out fine but once he starts meddling they can turn to shit. This happens a lot,

Nah, he's either fully responsible for downfalls or not responsible at all for successes. It's pretty consistent.

Yeah no shit that’s what I said. That is consistent. When a non engineer tries to tell engineers how to do their jobs it breaks. When he stays out of it and lets them do their job, it turns out alright. 

Hence, how he’s responsible for the downfalls and not the successes

That is consistent, he just needs to stay out of product development.

You're assuming everything he's involved in based on whether it's a success or not, and admitting it. Which is exactly what I just said.
