Larry Ellison asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.

A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question.

Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?”

One question. No recovery.

Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?”

This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline?

Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.”

They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing.

They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.

And they publish it with absolute certainty.

That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in.

Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.

His critics operate in a text editor.

He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.

His loudest critics built a byline.

So why the coordinated hatred?

Because they lost the leash.

The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think.

They don’t hate the engineer.

They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.

You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.

They own the syntax.

He owns the physics.

One of them is going to Mars.

@DrFrankTurek Who’s writing these questions? Is this supposed to be serious? Or some kind of trap?

[Dave Guenthner @DaveGdotMe]

@jeffreyalangray @dennyhamlin And you don’t think NASCAR didn’t?

[Dave Guenthner @DaveGdotMe]

@zagburn @Oluchisxn Not to mention inaccurate.

@Oluchisxn MP in the Airlift Wing?

@DirtyMoMedia @nascarcasm Ryan Preece brought his own rope to the gallows.

@bobpockrass NASCAR cannot, nor do they want to try, to prove intent. It’s a losing proposition.

But the drivers will continue to convict themselves on the radio. All good.

[Dave Guenthner @DaveGdotMe]

@EricEstepp17 @bootybanjo @PaniniAmerica @NASCAR There will be mockers. I read that somewhere.

[Dave Guenthner @DaveGdotMe]

@DGodfatherMoody @BryanLibby15 Do Greg at the finale, and Kyle at Daytona.

@5SolasMissy There is no “standard” of truth. Only truth, and lies.

@peakauto Drivers. Start, Your, Engines!

Where’s Brexton’s next race? I need an app just for that.

[Dave Guenthner @DaveGdotMe]

@ifantasyrace He makes up for it by wrecking people like he’s paid to do it.

[Dave Guenthner @DaveGdotMe]

@nascar_opinion @NASCAR I can’t wait to see my first race in person he’s competing in.

[Dave Guenthner @DaveGdotMe]

@DesignsFrg What’s your point? Your comparison of the two careers is laughable.

[Dave Guenthner @DaveGdotMe]

@nascardegen I don’t care if he’s racing shopping carts. Where do I buy tickets?!
