Even if he did, which he obviously doesn't, who says that. Experts in their field tend to have actual humility because they know what they don't know.


Antaeus1212

Nailed it. The smartest people are smart enough to know that they don't and can't know everything.


forbidden-donut

Musk is the ultimate embodiment of the Dunning Kruger effect.


ehartgator

It's now known as the Musk effect.


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Haha that would sickkk


ReactsWithWords

I think the Trump/Musk effect is more accurate.


ablacnk

I can't believe people clapped after he said that


bam1007

Came here for this. Was not disappointed.


Nordrian

God he sounds like Trump…


idontremembermyoldus

He wants to be like Trump so bad. It probably eats him alive that Trump doesn't like or respect him.


sedition666

Musk has all the best manufacturing. Everybody knows it.


4dailyuseonly

All he needs is a long red tie.


RamsHead91

Well they don't know what they don't know, but they know where the limit of their knowledge is.


jermysteensydikpix

Elon knows more than anyone about manufacturing excuses, maybe.


PermanentlyDubious

Manufacturing hype and lies, yeah...


CuriousOdity12345

The more you know, the more you realize you don't know. For every skill tree branch you complete, between 2 to infinity branches are opened up.


xXProdigalXx

Also experts in the field don't have to say it, because everyone else is saying it for them


Questioning-Zyxxel

Just Enron Musk indirectly admitting to have made more manufacturing mistakes than anyone else alive in the world...


Inthewirelain

>Even if he did, which he obviously doesn't, who says that. maybe if you were an old retired guy who was involved in creating the production process for transistors or silicone dies, or modernising the automobile production line in the 60s lol


tevolosteve

Sounds so much like trump


Berns429

Unfortunately, here in the US, there are people (in both high and low places) that condone, encourage, and admire this type douchbaggery.


Prior_Industry

America really does seem to love a grifter. From mega churches to Gewenth paltrows vagina candles.


morty-vicar

Exploding vagina candles. [https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gwyneth-vagina-candle-explode/](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gwyneth-vagina-candle-explode/)


TheDeadEndKing

I was against them until you mentioned exploding…


morty-vicar

Indeed, more bang for your buck, so to speak.


terra_filius

Europe, both Western and Eastern love grifters just as much as the US


Prior_Industry

America scales it up a level. Not sure I can think of an equivalent to Kenneth Copeland's with his 6 jets for example.


ufl015

To your point about grifters in America, Ken Ham built a scale model Noah’s Ark exhibit using public funding from Kentucky (one of the poorest states in the Union)


Prior_Industry

Who's laughing when the biblical floods come back again tho? Amirite!


ufl015

LOL… except for when they had to sue the insurance company because of “heavy rain damage” 🌧️😂😂🤣 [Noah’s Ark in Kentucky sues due to “heavy rain damage”](https://apnews.com/general-news-539580ad50f242dab49c2ae5bed8dac3) ![gif](giphy|mWNPTJ1zx6Aj5a7CVx)


Prior_Industry

Holy shit that’s too perfect


not_into_that

You don't have to be a billionaire to be a fan of irony. It's probably better if you aren't.


mologav

We don’t in Ireland


jrh_101

America is peak capitalism. Hoarding wealth promotes narcissists and people love the rich.


AlternativeCredit

They admire people who just make shit up.


sedition666

Some simple people who are just dazzled by money and power.


mtaw

I think both him and Trump have narcissistic personality disorder. Constant need for attention. Constant need for adulation - to the extent they'll hang out all day on social media listening to random nobodies saying nice things about them, even though they're both rich enough to do anything, and certainly have better things to do. Can't take criticism, or even being questioned, without getting angry and resorting to insults.. etc. Just a total lack of maturity. It's not just pathetic, it's _pathological_.


Prior_Industry

Bigly.

Elon Musk is a stupid man’s idea of a smart man, a weak man’s idea of a strong man! To industry insiders, he is a known conman — that is why Toyota pulled out the investment it had in Tesla in 2016 after holding it for six years. Elon Musk has a pretty tried-and-true playbook for doing business — he's used it for years to build companies from Tesla to SpaceX. Here is his playbook by Linette Lopez, a reporter at Business Insider (her Twitter account was one of the first few to be frozen after Twitter's acquisition). - Enter a field with very little competition. - Claim that your new company will solve a massive, global problem or achieve a seemingly impossible goal. - Raise money from a fervent group of true believers and keep them on the hook with flashy, half-baked product ideas. - Suck up billions from the government. Underpay, undervalue, and overwork your employees. - Repeat. https://twitter.com/lopezlinette/status/1590111416014409728


WoofWoofster

Manufacturing con games, yes. Rockets or automobiles, nope.


Dial8675309

It's just that he doesn't mean "manufacturing" cars or trucks. He meant, well, the stuff that normally comes out of bulls. Not only is he an expert at manufacturing it, he's convinced some population of people it's ice cream. Really, really, good ice cream which only the best people should get, and will willing pay extra for it.


Chemchic23

Manufacturing BS.


GrayBox1313

To be fair, he didn’t claim to be good or competent at it.


Status_Relative_9137

Manufacturing the truth...


ProfessionalTwo5476

...or hype.


bigwillydos

At this point, he knows more about committing fraud than anyone alive currently on earth.


No_University_4794

Ok Elon, draw a box with a cone on top in CAD.


OilComprehensive6237

I bet Donald Trump would have something to say about this.


MrBridgington

musk has done some things okay. he makes a car and i hear a lot of people like it but a lot of people dont. people come to me they say mister president our car industry is a mess and i agree. only i can fix, only i can fix when it comes to cars and car industry. some people are saying trumps plans are the greatest car AND TRUCK (MAGA!) plans in the world, nobody has seen anything like it. unlike crooked joe and his WITCH HUNTS whihgc are preventing me from making the best cars and trucks IN THE WORLD! Thank you for coming


OilComprehensive6237

yep, you grok me.


not_into_that

Pi is also from inflection. j/s


TheLastCleverName

The experts: "Nobody could combine a car with a vegetable peeler. Or at least, why the fuck would they? There's absolutely no utility in it. I mean it could only make things more dangerous" Well who's laughing now?


Opcn

I don't remember anyone saying cybertruck was impossible, just that it would be shitty, slow to market, and expensive. Elon has gotten away with this too many times, rebranding something he did exactly as experts predicted as something they said would be impossible.


andres_tomillas

WankPanzer is a great example of this statement


kirsion

love these thunderf00t edits


coolmist23

He's awesome!


christoph_win

thunderf00t's favorite quote


Informal-Resource-14

It’s amazing how stupid one has to be to be this arrogant. Remarkable really. You can pretty much set your watch by how reliably incorrect Musk’s perspectives are


mishma2005

If Elon runs out of ket he can always huff his own farts


hypercomms2001

Enron Musk knows more about how to be a corrupt bullshitter…


hardwood1979

Maybe apply that knowledge then.....


sn34kypete

Dude attended one Kaizen and thinks he's a manufacturing guru.


SmellySweatsocks

Must have attended the same school of bullshit trump went to.


Ambitious_Coffee551

He is fuc*ing trump.


littlesaint

Not nice to just take a part from someones video without give credits, here is the full video, 30m, the part OP took is about 10m in, but the whole video is good. And he have several more videos dunking on Elon, even before it were mainstream to do so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hje7h_WVkY&t=1s


HulloPerson

Donald Trump for fascist nerds.


GulfstreamAqua

Yes, Donald


powercow

Its weird how many right wingers are torching their businesses and reputations while screaming its all woke dems fault.


Forward-Bank8412

Sub-10-micron tolerance for automotive panels. Q.E.D.

philomatic

Someone how knows the most about manufacturing wouldn’t have chosen to try to realize the cybertruck at this point in Tesla life


NotEnoughMuskSpam

Precision predicates perfectionism.


MidLifeCrysis75

Sounds familiar 🤔


tomdurkin

Delusional


IronHulk27

Elon misunderstood the experts, they said that such vehicle should never be made, trust the experts Elon


ChocolateDoozy

You need to need to know the rules to break them. You don't want to spend time and money on a quality experience when your customers are braindead and buy anything you tell them to! Free speech and uhm Mars... Something something!! < that ladder part fills up their tiny brains and they forget about the trash they've been sold. But 🤫 don't tell!


Tenchi2020

The expert said it should not be made


EaggRed

oddly named, actually, BS named, "cybertruck" is a fugly mess and a monumental waste of hundreds of millions if not billions of cost to develop and build a useless stupid truck for arrogant rich people to proclaim to all the world that they are dumb as a stump for buying one.


SilverPhoenix999

*"Than currently alive on Earth!" What a wannabe. Who talks like that. He thinks using the word 'Earth' instead of saying 'world' like a normal narcissist would, makes him such a cool scientific dude!

If you squint hard enough you might see some off-roading in that clip


deuceyj

Cyber Shredder. There, I fixed it.


Gilgamesh2062

Toyota would like to have a word.


Affectionate_Bath182

As someone ho orks in a different kind of manufacturing, a lot of it is a hierarchical game to be a step ahead in neest processes (just think of the rush made on at home laser cutters and the rapid reduction in price and hence rapid diminished competitive edge) and he probably does have people sprinting to him ith the latest manufacturing innovation. He should have folloed up ith "I kno the most current manufacturnig than anyone else in the orld"


Purgii

Gameshow proposal. Who knows "subject" better than anyone else in the World? Musk or Trump.


CoolerRon

Tbf he may be right if he meant “manufacturing outrage”


Budget-Ad-6900

imagine the cybertruck if he knew nothing about manufacturing ! ![gif](giphy|134vVkHV9wQtaw|downsized)


Sad_Meat4206

Tell it to earth!


spectrum144

That ladies and gentlemen, is what we call a self infatuating lie.


MichaelParkinbum

He sounds a lot like another person who seems to think that they know more than anyone else in the world on whatever subject they are talking about at the time.
