Should Technical Managers Be Able To Code?

I just stumbled upon this Tweet from Elon Musk on my timeline and I feel the need to share it. I usually avoid dealing with polarizing topics like this because there are just too many different opinions, but this is just a very important issue to me.

This topic resonates with me so much, and I think it's important coming from one of the most influential people on the planet.

In my opinion, companies, software and non-software alike, should move towards valuing and promoting technical excellence at all levels of the hierarchy. This is not necessarily about programming, but about having deep technical knowledge in the area you manage.
