It's Schrödinger's Coup!

Musk has no technical skills whatsoever, but he wants to appear smart. So he takes bits of information like this, told to him by junior engineers, and regurgitates it to appear smart.

Musk did this with the Twitter stack and Twitter's senior architects called him out publicly, then he fired them.

Yes... when Congress doesn't stand up for itself, it's hard for outsiders to stand up for it.
