Good!
Would you agree that he makes decisions for the company?
Like, for example, the decision to make a misleading demo? Would that be something the CEO would control?
I mean, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this horrible man doesn't decide what goes into his company's demos. Please explain if I am incorrect.

I mean he makes big decisions but he doesn’t make all decisions. Engineering directors and stuff make decisions. Just like any other company for the most part.
> Like, for example, the decision to make a misleading demo? Would that be something the CEO would control?
Sure - could be. Sometimes in technology or bleeding edge engineering products are demoed or showcased when they aren’t quite finished. Initial iPhone comes to mind.

You are

So the engineers that built the car that I think many of us watched just do some crazy shit don’t happen or didn’t?
You’re so up in your own head about hating this guy (I can’t stand him either) you’re now saying things that happened, didn’t happen.
My dude - I did not say that. When you put words in my mouth it's called "straw-manning". You shouldn't do that. It's considered bad form.
I merely raise the possibility that this amazing thing could (easily) have been faked by a man who's known to be horrible and lie. And that the possibility of fakery is not unreasonable. Are you familiar with the story of Elisabeth Holmes? I think Elon is much more horrible than she will ever be.
And to reiterate my original point above - we all watched the Statue of Liberty disappear. That doesn't mean it actually happened, right?
I think it's incredible you still refuse to accept it.
Regardless, don't put words in my mouth.
Additionally, you're going to need to explain this sentence to me. Not even my AI can figure it out:

You didn’t say what?

What words did I put in your mouth?
> You shouldn't do that. It's considered bad form.
Not reading what others wrote is considered bad form too. So are comments like: “not even my AI can figure it out”.
