Sigh, just because he’s a moron about most things doesn’t mean it’s true about everything. Just watch some of his interviews with spaceflight journalists and you’ll see he knows his stuff for a while and then slowly loses it over the years.
Humans have this infuriating habit of believing that because someone is distasteful they must be stupid in every possible way, but this is very rarely true. Oh, I wholeheartedly agree that he’s remarkably stupid, and I agree that at this time he knows very little about what’s going on at SpaceX, but you are ignoring the evidence if you believe it has always been this way.
Let’s be better than this and actually look at the facts, not the emotional reaction. You’ll come to the same conclusion either way - Musk is a horrible human being who has no right being anywhere near government, or even industry for that matter.
