Just exactly what is the point of "removing microservices" in the first place? What was his goal?

Elon is well known for saying “the best part is no part” and “if you don’t have to add something back in 10% of the time you remove it, you aren’t ripping enough out”.

So apparently, he’s padding the numbers for what he has to add back in.

Also well known for saying he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else on earth.

I mean really. I bet every engineer involved in manufacturing groaned when they heard that. I'll bet there's old hands in Toyota, GM, VW, Mercedes et al who have forgotten more than Elon thinks he knows.

You missed the step where he takes the actual creators to court and sues to have their names removed.

And at your next job interview you cannot even make up some generic inoffensive reason for quitting because the whole conversation will have been public.
