    I agree for the most part. But he has, in the past, been very good at press.

    You know the double landing of the rockets was an insane requirement had to come straight from him. There was no need to land both simultaneously, and just made everything a lot riskier and more stressful to coordinate. But the good press they got from it let them ride a tidal wave of good will for years.

    Of course, he has ruined all that good will and then some. It’s obviously time to cut him out. The one thing he was good at is not the his worst quality.

    But yes, to your point, he never had anything to do with engineering in any capacity for any of his companies. He was a PR machine, and a slave driver to get his superficial vanity projects to completion. But that has all caught up to him.
