MUSK THINKS UX AND CODING ARE THE SAME, THIS ABSURDITY LEADS TO CHAOS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Elon Musk's claim that AI has reached PhD-level intelligence but lacks common sense highlights the broader divide between techno-optimists and human-centered perspectives. Technology and society are inseparable hybrids, and rationality cannot exist without empathy. Engineers often operate in a “nature” bubble focused on code and data, while UX practitioners translate human needs into that world. Ignoring social and emotional dimensions risks creating technologies that work perfectly in theory but fail real people, making UX essential as a bridge between human complexity and technological precision.
