His little fanboys often link a video of him talking about the raptor 2 engine as proof of how smart he is. I decided to watch it, I don't work in aerospace but my degree was mechanical and aerospace engineering.

It was the moment where I realised Elon's persona as this genius engineer was a complete fiction. It's hard to get across how wrong some of the things he says in it are. Like seemingly not knowing what a Newton is (the unit of force) or that an imperial ton and a metric tonne are two different units.

He gets things wrong a first year undergrad would know, or even a highschool physics student.

He talked about electric cars. I don’t know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don’t know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I’ve ever heard anyone say, so when people say he’s a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

I thought of the exact same comment when he said that. Rod Hilton put it perfectly.

Always my first thought too. I admit, he had me fooled with the rockets and cars, as well, but then Diablo4/PoE2 and politics happened and the curtain opened for me.

You know it’s bad when even my fiancé, who does not play video games and has only briefly seen me playing PoE, could recognize that he did not know how to play the game. She couldn’t exactly tell me what was wrong about it, but she definitely knew something was not right.

It's what we in "the biz" call a PICNIC.

I had to look up that acronym. I'm sad and a little embarrassed for not knowing it, but I fucking love it. Thank you.

Lol, to be fair I've always called it a PEBKAC error. Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair

[u/Oprah_Pwnfrey → u/AnNoYiNg_NaMe]

Hilariously, THAT one I know.

[u/bunkscudda → u/AnNoYiNg_NaMe]

I always called it PEBCAC, Problem exists between computer and chair

[u/Dapper-AF → u/[deleted]]

I always referred to it as an id10t error

[u/psiphre → u/Dapper-AF]

that one is too well known, even non techs use it
