Musk is distracted and showing that he 
    doesn’t have all the technical chops we 
    thought he did (if reports from inside 
    twitter are to be believed)

Who thought he had technical chops? I don't mean this as snarky or glib. But it was surprising to read.

The rosiest take is that he's a Steve Jobs type as opposed to a Bill Gates type. A guy who assembles and rallies teams of engineers and designers around a singular vision and often manages to pull, push, or drag them across the finish line.

I'm not a fan of Musk in particular, although I am also not demeaning this sort of CEO. The ability to form/lead/motivate teams that execute on this level doesn't exactly grow on trees. And it's all but impossible for a CEO to have deep, current "technical chops."

It's just that I've never actually heard Musk credited with having technical chops.
