“Hey, buddy, this doesn’t work!” Musk shouted at the engineer, according to someone who heard the conversation. “Did you do this?”

The engineer was taken aback. He had never met Musk before. Musk didn’t even know the engineer’s name. The young man wasn’t certain what, exactly, Musk was asking him, or why he sounded so angry.

“You mean, program the robot?” the engineer said. “Or design that tool?”

“Did you fucking do this?” Musk asked him.

“I’m not sure what you’re referring to?” the engineer replied apologetically.

“You’re a fucking idiot!” Musk shouted back. “Get the fuck out and don’t come back!”

So you think Jobs would have handled the situation differently?

Also, notice how the article never mentions whether or not he designed the part and responsible for the problem.

i think Jobs would have asked an unambiguous fucking question before firing a guy

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4155748&forum_id=2#37406737)

The guy was probably already fired before he got within 20 feet of Musk. His shithead response and wasting Musks time was the icing on the cake.

Face it, the engineer

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4155748&forum_id=2#37406757)

of course Musk is not really a "details" guy (see his "verbal government approval" tweet about building a multi-state underground hyperspeed transportation megaproject)

TBF Musk has accomplished some legit IRL stuff especially regarding SpaceX, but his reputation is HUGELY inflated due to people's desire to have a Jobs-like genius to respect + his attachment to certain trendy leftie products like electric cars.

of course his level of bullshit is getting SO egregious (with hyperloop, with everything Tesla, etc) that now he's starting to lose his halo, which is a good thing.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4155748&forum_id=2#37406838)

But let's give this guy the benefit of the doubt and assume Musk was on a 72-hour addy bender and was seeing stars before randomly picking this guy. Who in their right mind, even under those circumstances, would respond to Musk like that? There are a thousand better ways he could have handled the situation, yet he choose the option that involves personally questioning Musk and wasting his time.

lmao, i guess i did, elon, i guess i did

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4155748&forum_id=2#37406856)

and from that you concluded that musk had tracked down the engineer who built the malfunctioning part (or that musk had identified the malfunctioning part, or even that a part was malfunctioning)? lmao, you really are elon musk

"Did you stock this?"

"Umm. Are you talking about the Fanta or the Dr. Pepper?"

"DID YOU FUCKING STOCK THIS KYLE?"

"Uhh. I'm not totalllllllly sure what you're talking about??? You're not really doing a good job of communi-"

"Get the fuck out of my face Kyle. You're fired."

Particularly considering that evan39’s persona is an obvious schtick. Really makes the whole thing more trancelike and surreal.

why does this matter?

'"You mean, program the robot?” the engineer said. “Or design that tool?”'

Musk should've smacked him in the face after the second question.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4155748&forum_id=2#37407226)

and upon reflection, he was right

"Like, with a cloth" ?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4155748&forum_id=2#37407595)

In fact, it probably would have went better for the engineer if he told Musk to go fuck himself as the other poster imagined himself doing. At least that response would be indicative of the engineer being useful beyond serving as another drone.

What happened next shocked both seasoned and newly-hired employees on that production line.

'I didn't want to believe what I saw, but I still saw it,' said one line manager who asked to remain anonymous. 'He took some of the liquid silicone that was in the large vats, greased up the part with it, and actually inserted it in his ass. He then proceeded to lower himself up and down on it for several minutes until he had an explosive prostate orgasm. He shot all over the place.'

The engineer and other line managers watched, fearing for their jobs. Musk pulled his pants back up, threw the component in the trash, and asked the engineer to have a look and see what could be done to get the process working again.

'There's other parts over there. I didn't fuck myself with those,' Musk apparently said as he walked away.

'Elon was pretty calm the rest of that week. We called it 'Butt Week'. We were actually thinking about hiring him an escort to peg him regularly so he'd stay calmed down like that,' said another engineering supervisor, who also asked to remain anonymous."

i know that avoiding questions is an important part of maintaining your laughably delusional self image, but answer this one. getting gaped hurts, but you did this to yourself.
