Of course he meant every employee with a "manager" title. And take "seems" to mean "I doubled the real number for effect".

I assume it's a way of saying engineering is a tiny part of the organization.

I think Musk is a master of tapping into public sentiment.

Griping about the uselessness of management is precisely the kind of folk wisdom that gets passed around. It's fun to divide the world into do-ers and managers, both because it rights the uncomfortable social hierarchy and encourages action over in-action.
