I'm no Elon fan, but why does essentially everyone in these threads automatically assume he is wrong?

Has no one here worked at companies where there was more dead weight than talent? Where 80% of the work being done is by 20% of the people, and there are whole teams that do almost nothing?

What if there is no clean, efficient way to discover who should be fired and so Elon's fallback plan is to test for who really wants to continue working for the company vs. who is apathetic?

I'm not saying it will necessarily work, but I'm also not going to assume he is grossly incompetent either.
