    On the social media front Elon literally knows nothing, but it’s impossible to deny that he hasn’t helped build 2 companies that know how to manufacturer complex hardware at scale. To deny that just shows ignorance.

    So while Intel has so many problems, and there’s the whole politics disaster side of things, he might not actually cause the end of Intel from a hardware perspective.

      I don’t know that he has helped build anything. He has helped hype 2 companies.
      He did great PR when someone was managing him, but recently his PR is poison.
      SpaceX is managed by someone competent, musk has - quite frankly - little to do with the company.
      Tesla is riding the hype from before musk took off the mask. I give them 4 years, tops. If it’s not already on the way down.

      Intel needs to be run and managed by engineers. That’s what we want from core components. Not hype, not bubbles, not marketing speak, not fancy names and confusing part numbers. We want actual engineers who have thought through the implications of their decisions all the way to the end consumer. We want hardware that works and is predictable.
