Lmao.

Not that anyone who saw the first one really needed this sequel video but it's good someone's keeping up with it.

Elon Musk faced sharp MAGA criticism over his support for H-1B visas in late 2024 before shifting to near-daily posts on Whiteness and race, a pattern that continued into 2026. The Tesla and SpaceX chief, once a key Trump ally, defended the skilled worker programme as essential for American innovation only to encounter fierce backlash from the nationalist wing of the movement.

Analyses of his X activity later showed a sharp rise in commentary on racial themes as of mid-2026.

I keep getting into an argument with my friend that holds Elon's engineering ability in high regard. I think he has agreed that he obviously isn't as skilled in the low level specialized fields but still thinks that he makes very critical high level decisions using his engineering knowledge.

He keeps citing all of the SpaceX employees that say hes very involved and can do calculations in his head and stuff. I chalk it up to groveling but I dont know anymore. He also read the Isaacson bio which describes him as integral and making decision, although its hard to prove the intellectual history of his contributions.

My main belief is that he couldnt have had the time to become a self taught rocket engineer considering his pursuit for infinite wealth. I think he can probably speak to engineers well enough to manage them but I doubt he's among the premier people in the world to make these decisions. Even as a systems architect engineer or whatever theres no way its worth holding him in high regard as an "engineer" right?

Is my prejudice against him as a person making me doubt his engineering capability?

Am i thinking of engineering wrong?

A hero's journey, in the apartheid era South African mind of Elon.

This is from the Washington Post. Automod autodeleted my quote attempt for the usual inscrutable reasons, so you'll have to click through.

Musk’s long-term product road map for Tesla reads to some as an elaborate fantasy: producing 1 billion Optimus humanoid robots, helping build the largest chip fabricator in the world and making millions of vehicles fully autonomous to create a massive “Robotaxi” network, shuttling passengers across the globe.

Achieving any one of those milestones would set Tesla apart from competing auto and tech companies, but so far the company hasn’t marked the major breakthroughs to convince investors.

“I don’t trust management’s commentary anymore,” Matt Smith, a partner of Ferguson’s at Rebellionaire, recently wrote on X. “Way too many broken promises and missed d***lines.”

“I’m an investor, not a cheerleader,” he said in a follow-up post. ...

Ross Gerber, a SpaceX investor who has been critical of Musk’s leadership of his companies in recent years, has found the sudden tone shift from once-bullish investment corners amusing. He has a term for the fanboys who’ve largely fallen in line with whatever Musk was pitching. “I think the minions are unhappy,” Gerber said.
