I was at Queen’s U doing engineering physics when he was there doing theoretical physics. We weren’t the same year, but crossed paths a few times. At the time, struggling students would flip flop back and forth between the two degrees because the engineers needed more courses, but only need a 50% to pass a course while the science degree needed 60%. So some people would flip to take the shortest path to a degree. I don’t know if Elon was like that, but he might have gone through most of the engineering program. From what I hear, working with him is hell as he has to be right and any challenge to an idea can easily get you fired. So everyone has to just go along with every shit thing he comes up with. The annoying thing is that he seems to get stuff done somehow - the advancements of EVs and low orbit satellite comms and reusable rockets can’t be denied even though he is clearly deranged and a horrible person.
