I really want to see you design rockets, robots and brainchips using email.
Taylor Swift could have livestreamed on YouTube.

Ever heard of web meetings or even telephone?
They already design new rockets, robots and chip without him being on site because he's busy with Twitter.
And I guess it's pretty easy for him to do a remote session if he needs to. He has his own Internet company.
Otherwise it's like driving a combustion car if you own a electric car company.
Doesn't mean he designed a rocket, robot or chip.

No one here is threatened when Dave Grohl pumps out his 30th hit album, or when Steph and Lebron wipe the court with all the other players. But the idea that this Elon guy is not only richer, but also smarter and more ambitious and more innovative than any of us? That's unfair, it can't be so!!
Smarter?
Have you seen his Twitter timeline? He falls for nearly every fake news and conspiracy theory.
We aren't threatened by Dave Grohl because he doesn't use his social media outreach to promote right wing conspiracy BS.
You shouldn't mistake his Twitter feed for straight and full approval... He often trolls or merely thinks there might be some basis of truth in something, and sometimes he blurts out in anger. Again, in his case you just see it publicly.
Not defending him, it's weird and terrible and took a sharp decline after his breakup. But it's not so unusual.
Do you really think Elon is like that with Twitter - not just an idiot on it but according to all evidence also while running it - yet somehow doing in depth high-level technical reviews of his own spacecraft like he's Geordi LaForge? Looking at the blueprints while sipping coffee and telling the engineers that if they only invert the polarity of the neutron flow, the engines could get another 10% efficiency by harnessing negative energy from the Casimir Effect or some nonsense?
He's smart but it should be obvious he's not nearly the world class polymath billionaire playboy inventor he's been hyped up to be. His companies work because he surrounds himself with people smarter than he is, and because those people create cultures that route around his tendencies (which culture doesn't appear to exist at Twitter.) The man brought a fucking sink to Twitter for the sake of a pun like it was the funniest thing ever.
The problem is the premise that one can effectively decide the value of an employee's work by counting LOC or reading their output in that manner at all. It's dumb whether it's done with a REPL or a stack of paper.
High performers challenge this notion because they say “I have very difficult bug fixes that required little code.” But high performing engineers just don’t realize how little (shockingly little) output actually comes out of low performers. Like, a slow trickle of trivial code, and tasks that stretch for weeks for no good reason besides their inability to overcome obstacles
Yes but that isn't what happened. By all accounts no such process took place at Twitter.
Many understand Einstein's theory of relativity but few would have came up with.
He isn't some kind of Tony Stark who builds things himself.
For clarification email is a metaphor for anything that could be done remotely, like designing rockets, robots and brain chips.
The Swift fans on the other hand pay to see her live, that's the USP of a concert.
You really think any of that would have been possible without him? What EV company is as successful as Tesla? How many rockets does the second most successful company launch every year?
Where did I wrote that?
My point is not everything needed him being on site making some travels unnecessary.
