I'm starting to think maybe Elon isn't the 'free speech absolutist' he claimed to be.
You might have a point there. Maybe... just maybe... this Musk fellow is completely full of shit about most things he says.
Unless he's talking about rockets, I've stopped listening.
A compulsive liar will lie about anything, stop listening entirely
It's hard to lie about physics. He can lie about his schedules, or how he treats his employees, but not about thermodynamics. When he's talking about rockets, he's historically been fine. This is a good example: https://youtu.be/SA8ZBJWo73E?t=760
Lol @ thinking Musk has even a basic grasp on the physics that his employees work with. I bet you think he "invented Tesla" too.
I think this explanation would be more coherent if it was given by one of SpaceX's competent and underpaid engineers. They clearly did a good job of dumbing it down to Elon's level of comprehension, so that he could sluggishly regurgitate it to the general public and appear to understand rocket science.
