    And yet my parents still believe that he must have had some competence to be in the place he is at now. Illusion of meritocracy blinds so much.

      That is the insane part. Honestly I thought so. I literally read an bias as fuck biography of that guy, believing that I would find some competency. Even they failed to spin the yarn in that way. The most positive spin was effectively “musk is a good promiser/beggar”.

      Context, it was in the early Tesla days, in which people hope he would kickstart a change.
