Elon Musk is no stranger to picking fights with rivals — and now he's turning his fire on Boeing. The SpaceX founder attacked the outgoing Boeing CEO, David Calhoun, on Tuesday, accusing the beleaguered aircraft company of losing touch with its engineering roots in a post on X.

"The CEO of an aircraft company should know how to design aircraft, not spreadsheets," Musk wrote in response to a post about Calhoun's accountancy degree. - Elon Musk is beefing with Boeing again, calling out its CEO and saying he should be able to 'design aircraft, not spreadsheets'

David "Hillbilly Dave" Calhoun

I live about 5 miles from Virginia Tech and have worked their bookstore. Beautiful campus and nice small town. But... The graduates have become poor CEO's...

John Asbury - CEO at Atlantic Union - Business Degree at Virginia Tech
David Calhoun-CEO at Boeing - Business Degree at Virginia Tech

John Asbury... David Calhoun.... No doubt fine people, wonderful personalities, and good family men. But in my opinion terrible CEO's. When I go into an Atlantic Union Bank, in which I have accounts, I never can find any actual bankers. Only hired hands who will help me connect to the Internet. When I Google Boeing all I can find are problems and mishaps.

My wife was the Bank Branch Manager. back when the Manager had to know everything ! so no one could fool the Branch Manager. or she would call them out directly ! no putting up with any nonsense ! no one could pull the wool over such a ones eyes !

But times changed as the top controling the Banks changed their tune in many ways, they wanted only idiots people who could not call them out for they only had a set task in the Bank ? so their are no Masters ! who can fire back at the top, because at the top are not worthy of the possition and they themselves know that !

So you end up with a Dill at the Top ! A total Dill like Calhoun a total moron in fact. but it comes down to who put such a dill in the possition ? who can say that he was up to the Job ? No one could !

The same Cancer is in the Building industry, such crept in badly from the 1990's and only got worse, if i tryed to call such out ? you had no hope ! so what do we have now, 3rd rate Tradesman period ! clowns everwhere ! Builders who want you to do the wrong thing in fact ! it's they who demand such ! I said listen Clown, you have to do X Y Z got it ! this is wrong, this is sub standard and such is a joke ! and i get lorded over by dipsticks ! Fools running the show ! and their was nothing i could do about it, the system was set against you 360 deg !

Look at the people who inspected the building of the aeroplanes, same thing, lorded over by total morons ! If someone dares that capper the inspecter should have total 100% backup that no one can make such threats on such a one ! such should have all the power too call out anyone going all the way right to the Top !

We have huge buildings that are a total joke, that got the go ahead ! people can not live in them because they have been condemed, that's new buildings !

For They set it up like such ! That's the way it's all done nowadays in fact ! they are not stupid ? for they are truly outright low life criminals in fact. They want a quick fix like a junky, make the huge money and then disapear ! They have told me so.
There day consist of screwing over everyone day in day out !

Just like Politicial stooges, it's an art form, we had a State Premier who knew nothing but debating, screwing about with deceptions with people who do not understand jack, a master of such deceptions and as corrupt as Hell ! and She is not the only one ! Just that they can pull the wool over such peoples eyes ! for they do not know any better ! for they are just for listening to the line, not the substance at all in fact !
I have never come across such stupid pathetic people as in the last 20 years, you know such people claim to know my job better than i do, because they have looked it up on the Net for 2hr, seriously.

I marketed, estimated, eliminated the spec’s product, sold, did the material breakdown, pointed out the flaws of the project architect, studied the paint system, presented it to Disney. Disney balked and demanded Glidden send a Chemical Engineer to present the product. I picked him up at the airport. Handed him my sheets of the presentation. He said “You need to go Glidden, you know the paint better than I do. We supervised the installation….then sued Disney for stupidity. We. Won and finished the world’s largest metal roofing project. The Caribbean Beach Resort.

We did it and knew it all.
