Good?

Quality, cost, speed; I’d pick quality and speed.

There's diminishing returns along all those axes, suddenly throwing billions of dollars at a problem doesn't automatically yield a fast, high quality result.

But there is a sweet spot. Musk seems to be good at finding it.

There are many sweet spots, Musk is good at targeting the “deliver quickly, fix the glaring problems later if at all” sweet spot.

I still don’t understand all the negging, Musk has done more for mankind than most people on here combined. Must be jealousy.

Part of the culture of "move fast and break things" is that sometimes the things you think are "broken" are going to end up not being included in the final product, or will be better optimised later, once you understand the process better.

It's like spending time developing a sprue-cutting process is going to be wasted when in the next iteration you refine the manufacturing process to no longer leave sprues connecting moulded parts.
