Name one other auto industry CEO that makes engineering demands of this nature and lambasts employees on social media for not meeting them.

Without relying on Google etc. you probably couldn’t even name the CEO of Toyota, Honda, Ford, etc. And I seriously doubt they are making technical decisions for their cars. They rely on knowledgeable managers whose teams have decades of technical experience, and likely defer to those experts when they say something isn’t feasible.

Musk is acting like Homer Simpson when given the chance to design his own car. Screw the experts! He wants what he demands and won’t take “no” for an answer, no matter how bad his decisions are.
