Interesting to see a lot of people discovering the old Crichton trope that you often think people and sources are brilliant until they talk about a topic you know. Applies to a certain CEO:
- Talks about EVs? Dunno, but people say he's a genius.
- Talks about rockets? Dunno, but people say he's a genius.
- Talks about software? WTF, this guy's an idiot.

Now let's see if people can remember that realization when the topic shifts back to EVs and rockets.
