I was curious about the Musk experiment, but I think he's proven himself to be an idiot now. How did SpaceX do so well?
It's simple, SpaceX is one of the companies they don't let him influence. The engineers just handle SpaceX because it's too complicated for him.
Same with neuralink.
Also remember that Musk didn't start any of these companies. He merely invested enough to become the face of the company. He's only really ever started X.com, but that code was thrown out when he merged with Peter Thiel's company.
This is just completely untrue. Musk founded SpaceX from nothing, there was no prior entity he acquired or invested in.

There are lots of legitimate reasons to dislike Musk, there's really no need to make up lies about him to justify having an extremely low opinion of him.
He bought his way into the Mars Society and then was introduced to a whole bunch of people with real experience. Yes, he "created" SpaceX, but he did it the same way he does everything else...by throwing gobs of money at something that already exists and then having actual smart people figure out the hard stuff.
