        That isn’t true at all. Intel has a history of it, Boeing, Tesla, etc.

        Many companies have a history of having a CEO who has product knowledge.

            Elon Musk is a brilliant inventor nonpareil. He invented tunnels, rockets, electric cars, and now Twitter.

            It’s some weird rant that Isn’t relevant or accurate. The comment was they need to hire an engineer. That’s what Boeing use to do. That’s what many successful companies do that make products.
