Elon Musk criticized former Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun on Christmas Day, stating he had "no idea how airplanes or rockets worked," emphasizing the importance of engineering expertise in aerospace leadership.
Musk asserted, "Boeing is on a much better track with the new CEO," highlighting the company's transition from Calhoun to Kelly Ortberg, who has a mechanical engineering background.
Calhoun's tenure at Boeing was marked by challenges, including a quality-control crisis. His academic background in accounting raised questions about his suitability for leading an aerospace company, according to Musk.
Musk previously noted, "The CEO of an aircraft company should know how to design aircraft, not spreadsheets," indicating that Calhoun's lack of engineering knowledge was a significant concern.
