There is at least one person there at the top of the Technical Team....I don't recognize from the scene, at least his name does not show as author or co-author in any ML papers I can remember reading...a certain Elon Musk.... :-)



Well the question they were responding to (mine) specifically says “other than Elon”. So it’s very fair to exclude him.


The question is other than money, is it fair he puts himself on top of the Technical Team? What is next? Andy Jassy as Tech Lead of AWS AI Team?


Elon is a megalomaniac who fancies himself an engineer (yes he used to be one, but his with then is oft disparaged)

Even if he had the best names in the industry attached, he would always put himself first.

I don’t think it’s wrong he’d do so either , because he has a cult of personality that would make him the biggest feature (positive/negative) of any company he is involved with.

Hence why I specifically only ask for other people on note here.


When was he an Engineer?


I heard he was doing code reviews at Twitter... on code printed on paper to determine of he ought to fire or keep the author.


Back in the original X days, he apparently did code to get X off the ground before PayPal bought them.
