He's that stupid, so no, he doesn't.
He sounds very Trumpian.
The charitable interpretation is that it was just hyperbole as a joke. Unfortunately, for that to be true, he would have to think it's a ridiculous thing to say and I'm not sure he does.
I like to shit on Elon as much as the next person, but as someone who works in aerospace mfg, if he understands 3% of SpaceX’s manufacturing and supply chain he is already in the top 99.9999999%. What they have accomplished is absolutely unfathomable and why we have to make exceptions when hiring experienced SpaceX people into our company to pay 2-3x standard pay for them. They really really know their shit and are making everyone in the industry better by leaving SpaceX.
Edit: ITT a bunch of people who have never held a real job outside of ex-Reddit mod and pretending to be an tankie while mommy and daddy pay all of your bills, pretending they understand mfg ops and supply chain. Optimization is extremely difficult and at my last tech job we had to hire a bunch of PhDs to help us figure out a supply chain network issue. The simulations would have to run for hours and took thousands in compute daily.
You're being incredibly generous if you think he understands any of it.
Yeah, this is the guy who takes everyone else's accomplishments for himself. The only reason why SpaceX is so damn good at what it does is because he's not allowed to be more than a figurehead
Ever wonder why his talk about Tesla is so stilted? He doesn't know how it started. I listened to one of the actual founders and he was talking in and out about EVs and the business model of Tesla. Elon takes a couple of their brochure points and that's all he can say.
Bro claims to be the Chief Engineer while shitposting all day and being CEO of five other companies.
I do not believe that narrative, I don't know about you. What I do know is that the single bit of confirmed "engineering" I've seen accredited to him is once using epoxy on a cracked part in front of a crowd of journalists, which I'm sure was a very organic and legitimate problem.
It's possible that SpaceX is a result of him having an eye for talent, but quite frankly I think he probably just hired one person with that eye instead and could afford to pay for the people that person recommends.
Is that his talent? Having an eye for people who have an eye for talent? Maybe, I don't know the bureaucratic details, but I don't believe he's that involved otherwise. He physically does not have the time to be so, and now that fucking goofball is entering politics too.
No no no, you must understand the truth about Elon!
The average CEO supposedly works 60 hour a week. Elon is in charge of two companies. That is 120 hours a week.
He also has involvement in no less than five other corporations. Giving each company 20 hours a week combines to another 100 hours a week.
He has twelve crotch goblins he loves and takes care of. Let's say he gives each kiddo a generous 10 hours each so that adds 120 hours to his week.
He spends a lot of time doing drugs and twatting on Twitter. He spends about 40 hours on these tasks.
Now he is going to be helping run the US government and promises to work another 80 hours a week.
Don't forget he is a lover and spends at least 20 hours a week trying to fuck the women who work for him.
Let's see that adds up to about 480 hours a week! And that is not even counting him sleeping, eating, or shitting. What an amazing man he is! Imagine if you had that much time to do all that.
Former twitter engineer here. Maybe he paid more attention at his other companies but Elon was comically clueless about how the twitter machine worked. Hiring geohot and thinking a firmware cracker could make heads or tails of a massively distributed system was pure idiocy.

Did... did he actually say this? I knew this guy was full of it, but that's a whole other level.
Sounds very much like Trump's mode of speech. Best/biggest in history yadda yadda
Yep. Just watch any of Thunderfoot's musk videos and you'll see that clip featured at least once.

I work in manufacturing industry as a production planner. Although I am in a central position, from everything that happens on the factory floor to make a complete product, I know surprisingly little. There are so mind bogglingly many little details in the process. That's why there are so fucking many of us here.
From where I'm sitting, the higher you go on the management ladder more clueless people are about the actual manufacturing process. They don't need to know to do their job. They just need to listen when somebody who knows tells them the abbreviated version when necessary.
Elon does not appear to be a listener.
He's just a pompous narcissist or possibly a full blown psycho. Not sure what his tallent is.
The more proficient and knowledgeable in a topic you are you usually tend to see how much you don't know yet.
Rarely someone who is actually good is going to claim to know the most in a topic.
Its many reasons the saturn V can never be rebuilt. We know the plans and specs, but all the details of the manufacturering were all held by the people doing the work. Each one was unique.
I wouldn’t expect anything less of Phony Stark.
"At this point, I think I pay enough talented people who know things to make it look like I actually know things so I can focus on acting like a fool on social media platforms and interviews."
And don't forget the little team that makes me believe it was me all the time!
When I was a kid my parents wouldn't let me make my own pinewood derby car, even though I had done one already without issue the previous year. My dad then proceeded to put a 1/2" drill bit through his hand while doing it for me. I always found that kind of funny.
I needed to find the source to hear the tone of that statement for myself - it's from an interview from 2022 (link is timestamped):

This right here is the kind of blind confidence someone smart and self aware could never fake. You have to be so far up your own ass or a page strait out of the dsm to say some shit like this.
Mr. Musk could manufacture himself into a fine powder.
Been around the orange so long he thinks he can lie and get away with it too
Unfortunately he has similar real-world experience to trump’s: Be a total shitbag and get handsomely rewarded by it in the ways he cares about. I mean why care about being a horrible husband and father when there’s money and fame to be had?
Hope it doesn't sound arrogant when I say that I am the greatest man in the world.

Maybe manufacturing stock manipulations, nothing tangible.
Shame. Shame upon you!
