I know right? This is a great way to get his rival meme makers to waste their time with engineering

I don't understand the fascination with this guy. Plus every picture I see of him his expression says he's a pompous prick.

It's time someone wrote the Ol' Musky anthem. "They said I couldn't...but I did" is the refrain.

Kinda like Steve Jobs

I think you mean he doesn't have an engineering degree. Though he does technically hold two honorary engineering doctorates.

But its what he expects from his engineers

No. He’s a billionaire

Um. He does shit himself. It's like he's from a goddamn comicbook.

From what I've seen in industry: when you start mixing CEO and engineering roles, you get problems. Either be CEO or be Engineer. Not both

VP of engineering from last job liked to do all design work. Rest of us engineers are sitting there doing nothing and company had hard time

Expanding into new products cus VP couldn't keep up.

From what I've seen, he doesn't actually design the fine details until he sees employees struggle.

Didn't he invent PayPal? Wouldn't that make him a software engineer?

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

He didn't invent PayPal, his startup was acquired by it

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not exactly. He merged with Confinity. The merged company was later renamed to Paypal where he acted as CEO

nope software engineering is very much a thing and does not have much to do with hardware. Source: I'm a Software Engineering major

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

My mistake. The school I went to did not offer software engineering major but rather CS and all the other Engineering types..even ocean eng
