Obviously he’s not a rocket scientist himself but he clearly grasps enough of the history and potential of rocket design to make useful leadership decisions at SpaceX.
Well, I assume this is because he had smart people to help him make such decisions which is what makes his antics with Twitter so bizarre. He seems to be playing to the gallery as opposed to what's best for the company.

That's internet 101. Plenty of right-wing echo chambers as well: Rumble, Truth Social and Parler for a bit. Facebook Groups, right-wing YouTubers and Subreddits.

People love their echo chambers whatever they are on the political divide.
