That being said, a physics degree is more than enough to work in most engineering positions. Elon being the leader is probably the most important part of the SpaceX and Tesla engineering teams and shares the credit with everyone else when a good product ships.
I never claimed otherwise. Having a degree in physics does not make an engineer, though.
A person whose title is 'Chief Engineer' and has a physics degree is also an engineer aka Elon therefore he is an engineer.
This is ridiculous debate given Elon leads thousands of engineers daily and given his success there's no doubt that he is making good engineering decisions daily because he is a good engineer.
You mean the title Musk gave himself, like "Techno King"? Even Musk admits that his titles don't mean anything[1].
It's a real stretch to think someone calling themselves an engineer makes them an engineer.
There must be millions of people working with "software engineer" titles who aren't aware that they're actually engineers, too!

Given there is no official definition and the definition is subjective, you pretty much can't win this argument.
If elon musk is an engineer, what has he engineered that has his name on it?
Please point me in the direction that shows that elon has the certifications and education to call himself an engineer.
Musk has a lot of people fooled that he's a genius, and he even lied about having asbergers, on top of everything else he has lied about.
