Elon Musk Bashes Boeing for Having Too Many Non-Technical Managers

According to Business Insider's latest report, Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticized Boeing for hiring too many non-technical managers. The billionaire said this as the airplane maker prepares its historic crewed Starliner flight.

"Too many non-technical managers at Boeing," said Elon Musk via his official X post, which generated over 45 million views, 124,000 likes, and more than 7,000 comments.

In addition, Elon Musk also criticized Boeing's astronaut capsule, saying that the American aircraft manufacturer spent $4.2 billion just to develop it. He compared it to SpaceX, which spent only $2.6 billion and was able to complete the capsule four years earlier.

"Note, the crew capsule design of Dragon 2 has almost nothing in common with Dragon 1," he added.
