Every time Musk tries to pretend he's an engineer and tries to micromanage engineering and design decisions we end up with things like the Cybertruck.

I read a comment somewhere by someone who worked at SpaceX, and they said a crucial part of the job was tactfully distracting him while he was in the facility. Otherwise, he would make nonsensical design suggestions and expect them to be implemented.

    This is there title from a Blomberg article:

    SpaceX’s Secret Weapon Is Gwynne Shotwell

    She launches spaceships, sells rockets, and deals with Elon Musk.

    I think it's that, she is one is there most influential person that made SpaceX successful.

    Cybertruck is what happen when people don't say no to Musk.
