Indecisiveness and disorderliness are the least of his problems, at least as far as the public is concerned.

He's a bully and he's untrustworthy.

Well, if he was a sensitive soul he would have stopped what he was doing, long time ago. Just look at this thread.

Thank you FartyMcFarter for your judgment, hopefully we can all live up to your standards.

I agree with this too. It's like everyone on this thread wants Elon to be a perfectly manicured fully formed opinion on everything and that he needs to be batting 1000. He's batting far beyond anyone else that's try to move the needle - don't forget that. I don't pretend that I agree with a lot of what Elon does but I recognize someone who is fundamentally changing the planet.

To the comments of him not wanting to talk to the press most of the time because it's boring ... do you guys know how boring talking to the press is? You get equal parts adoration and pot shots without actually gaining anything but trying to get a message threw. There are very few enlightening moments in dealing with press and podcasts and you are constantly guarded about some asinine sound byte taken out of context. It's not like the podcast/press corps are typically deeply knowledgeable and are going to bring up some new idea to help you out. It's about getting a message out to different groups of people and it is really boring/wearing if you don't like saying the same thing over and over again.

I guess the saying goes - haters are going to hate as is deeply visible on the thread.

I would add that not only is talking to the press boring it is fraught with risk. I would never talk to the press about anything unless forced.
