his computer gaming rankings he bought from Korean pros, his DOGE cost more than it saved, his underground tunnel systems is a fantasy, he has the emotional control of a spoiled toddler, his AI is insane and he pledges to "fix it" to make it even crazier.

Instead of his motto of "Move fast and break shit!", he should go with "Measure twice, cut once".

If your people are working 120 hours a week and being constantly pressured to "get this done yesterday!" then quality control is going to suffer.

Immensely.

All of these problems are the result of his reckless ambition. He has thrown quality control and safety out the window in his haste to achieve "The Next Big Thing".
