Skepticism? Do I detect a note of skepticism? How can you be skeptical of musk when he uses words like biggest, highest, soonest, best, most, dominant, strongest, better, world class, largest, gigantic, genius, richest, fastest, and other great words over and over and over again for no apparent reason?

An assessment of Elon Musk:
Amateurishness is one of Elon’s dominant traits. He has never learned a profession and basically has always remained an outsider in all fields of endeavor. Like many self-taught people, Elon has no idea what real specialized knowledge really means. Without any sense of the complexities of any great task, he boldly assumes one function after another. Unburdened by standard ideas, his quick intelligence sometimes conceives unusual measures which a specialist would not have hit on at all.
The victories of the early years of Elon’s business career can literally be attributed to his ignorance of the rules of the game and his layman's delight in decision making. Since opposing sides were trained to apply rules which Elon’s self-taught autocratic mind did not know and did not use, he achieved surprises. These audacities, coupled with financial superiority, were the basis of his early successes.
But now that setbacks have occurred he has suffered shipwreck, like most untrained people. Now his ignorance of the rules of the game are revealed as another kind of incompetence; now his defects are no longer strengths. The greater the failures become, the more obstinately his incurable amateurishness comes to the fore. The tendency to wild decisions has long been Elon’s forte; now it is speeding his downfall.
NOTE: This is a paraphrase of the assessment of Hitler that Albert Speer (a German architect who served as the Minister of Armaments and War Production in Nazi Germany during most of World War II) wrote in his memoirs, “Inside the Third Reich”. This was quoted in the video entitled “207 - Manstein Goes Great War Style - WW2 - August 13, 1943” on the YouTube channel with the title of “World War Two”.

Video Topic Suggestion: The End of the Manned Armored Vehicle & Large Artillery Era
In the mid 1930s, aircraft were too slow and unable to carry enough firepower to really threaten battleships - but aviation technologies (airframes, engines, weapons) were exploding at that time and 10 years later it was apparent to everyone that the era of the battleship was well and truly over.
Today, drone technology is exploding (smaller size, greater range, less weight and volume, more loiter time, man portable, more explosive force, easier to use, fire-an-forget, AI target identification, drone swarms, wider range of sensors (including TV, IR, radar, motion detectors), etc.) and the Ukraine war is conclusively demonstrating that the era of tanks, armored personnel carriers, and large artillery pieces (both stationary and mobile) is over. For the weight of one (1) main battle tank - 100,000 lbs - you can fly in 1,000 to 2,000 Javelin or Stinger missiles. It is hard to come to any other conclusion that we are witnessing the "Pearl Harbor" moment for manned armored vehicles and large artillery pieces that will largely chase them off of future battlefields.
As a student of warfare, you might want to think about (if you haven't already) what modern armies will look like and of what they will be composed in the next 10, 20, and 30 years. In this case, I emphasize the relative near term because the changes we are seeing are so dramatic.

Great video! However, I would love it if you could do similar videos about all the lies that Elon has told us about SpaceX, the starship, going to Mars, establishing a Martian colony, going to the moon, rapid reusability of starship, the boring company, the big hole in Las Vegas, the traffic solution. He talked about it one time, The solar roofs, the distributed computing usage of Tesla automobiles that he talked about during the last earnings call, neural link, etc. It’s a long list, but it would make a great video and it would also hurt the Elon cult so good lay bad

@
Chris, to avoid being like Elon, I have to confess that I didn’t come up with the “Elon doesn’t know shit about shit“ saying. The first place I heard it was from Tim Miller on one of the bull work videos. I did comment there on it in which I told Tim Miller that the saying “Elon doesn’t know shit about shit“ is going to go down in history like Kellyanne Conway‘s coining the term “alternative facts“. I think that the fact that Elon doesn’t know shit about shit is at the heart of his signal failures like the hyper loop, the cyber truck, The SpaceX heat shield for starship, which is failing before our eyes right now, the Tesla robot, full self driving, NeuroLink, the boring company, the Las Vegas, tunnels, etc. Though Elon is going to be known as one of the greatest failures in all of human history as you have predicted correctly, you have to give him two points for Gryffindor For his energy in creating so many failures.
