Make Elon Musk sit atop one of his shitty rockets the next time it launches.
I prefer he sits at the bottom better.
SpaceX rockets are all but shitty, but you can claim it’s despite Musk’s involvement. Since it’s been known he fires all the capable engineers who disagree with him.
I heard there was a person hired specifically to keep Elon away from the critical areas so he doesn’t try to overrule a decision and destroy the company.
Probably give him a few easy to spot ‘problems’ to overrule, so that he doesn’t meddle with the important things.

There was the whole department for it at Tesla, that’s why their previous stuff was basically functional. Then something happened and they failed or got disbanded, and that’s how cybertruck happened.
In fairness, the Falcon 9 / Dragon capsule systems are solid and reliable, with good track records.
So its not literally all SpaceX stuff.
But… yeah, the Starship/HeavyBooster is what happens when Elon is in charge, utter shit show.
And also, the Falcon 9 family never actually got close to the cost reductions Elon initially said would be delivered by the re-usability paradigm.
It would have to be roughly an order of magnitude less expensive, for a ton to orbit, than what it currently is, to match what he said it would achieve.
as 18107 says, yeah, at various Musk companies, their have been people whose main job was primarily to distract him from getting involved very directly, but this has apparently stopped being a thing.
Just go find the conversation he had with some of the high ups on the Twitter team, when he took it over.
He just knows buzzwords, beyond that, probably most of the people in this thread are more intelligent than he is, on literally any subject… he has no idea how anything works beyond a very big picture / conceptual level.

This is what I was claiming, too.

You remind me of the recent declaration about launching data servers in orbit.
God, don’t get me started on orbital data centers.
Either you cause kessler syndrome by launching a million microsats, or, you just I guess invent scifi level orbital engineering, and come up with a scifi solution for thermal regulation.
Also like, server data centers require, you know, on site maintenance.
… its a very dumb, expensive idea.
Making CEOs use their product live is a great idea. It’ll never happen because it’s a great idea.
Tell that to the McDonald’s CEObot
I would pay money to see the McDonald’s CEO eat an entire McDonald’s burger product in a single sitting with zero camera cuts.
I don’t know. Between him and the CEO of Atlassian, I think the last will have more trouble. But… why not both?
I was about to say that as bad as Outlook was, I actually used its search to figure out some Jira ticket because just… damn trying to find a Jira ticket based on a few keywords is just a pain in the ass…
Here’s a 12 year old bug asking them to stop corrupting user entered comments by turning them into cutesy emoji.
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-39164
They DGAF about actual users.
I have an excel VBA macro that can find emails that outlook says don’t exist
I don’t know what the hell happened to outlook’s search function with the update to 11, but I’m convinced it was actual sabotage.
Outlook insists that no one has ever sent me anything. If I search for an email from a specific person, that person doesn’t exist. Unless sometimes they do. The first three letters of their last name, out of order? Fine, can find them no problem unless you’re looking for when they sent you an attachment. Then no.
Copy and pasting their name in to the search bar? Who the fuck you talking about guy??
Looking for an email that has “and” in the subject line?
Here’s every email you have with the letter A in it. Hope this helps! By the way have you tried CLAUDE?!
Yah, I had a similar thought regarding Google and the SEO which changed recipes into page long stories about the author’s grandmother. Instead of wading through all the text to find the ingredients, just use ai.
Please share!!
wouldn’t they just ask Copilot?
and trust whatever it says
Honestly copilot search of emails is definitely a step up to the outlook search… Which doesn’t say much…
Outlook search has gotten way worse in the past year + 🤬
It’s still bad, but you can save an ounce of sanity by keeping a copy of everything locally.

WeAreDevelopers conference 2025, CEO of GitHub was vibe coding for the last time as a CEO of GitHub.
Do it while being asked by a middle manager if you saw the email last week. Fucking story of my life.
Surely he has 3 assistants for that.
And them make him create a new Minecraft account
Me: what rule moved that email to a random folder? Outlook: who the fuck knows?
Next can we get a super cut of the CEO using teams to connect to a few different meetings? Sure it might be fine a couple times in a row but that software is such dogshit in general.
Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.
It’ll be his secretary putting a ticket in
