    When things go right, it's "I". When things go wrong, it's "We". These are Musk's situationally preferred pronouns.

    Exactly. Who has the one promoting it? It was you, Elon.

    He's very likely the one who pushed the engineers to try to make it work in the first place. They probably tried to warn him of the challenges it was going to face at every step, and he just used the power of arrogance, bullying, & positive-thinking to ignore it and just go full steam ahead with it. He would've just fired anybody that directly challenged him on it and told him what an idiot he is.

    Not only they warned him. Reports are Tesla design department out of their own initiative and knowing how bad the proposed cyber truck was developed and alternate "sane" Tesla electric pickup truck proposal. When they tried to suggest it to Elon he reportedly didn't want to here none about it and got mad.

    He told the design boss just to make the existing design work. As we can see that didn't end up going well.
