 I have no doubt it will be unmitigated train wreck. He has no relevant qualifications, and the success of the endeavor will be dependent on his management abilities and operational decision making. And the one example we have to look at to judge those two things is Twitter; the one Musk company that he manages.  
 He gets no credit for Tesla and SpaceX eh? Became the richest man by being a moron and poor decisions I suppose  
 He doesn't manage those companies. He owns them, and makes top-level, conceptual decisions. When it comes to actually doing the work, he's absolute shit. He's simply not up to the job, and the burocratic realities he will have to navigate and contend with are way outside his qualifications and wheel house. Even those I despise the air Ramaswamy breathes, he is much more suited to the job, and I'd have a lot more optimism if it was just him running it. Obviously, time will tell, but I'm confident in my assessment, as it's rooted in fact and reason, not aspirational emotions, and fan-boy admiration for the image he presents.
