Nah, that’s bullshit. You’re no fucking saint. The problem with billionaires is you cant possibly live a normal life once you get there. That kind of power corrupts your thoughts, actions, and importantly the way every single person you ever interact with behaves.
If you become a billionaire I’m coming for you.
And that’s why you’d never be the richest person. Think about the qualities that lead one to become the richest person on earth. Really think about what that title represents. It’s an unfathomable amount of wealth. Any sane, compassionate person would have funneled that into charity work and the well-being of others.
You see what I’m getting at?
Or they’d invest, retiring while traveling and living off the dividends. It’s a sickness.
You can do that with like, 10 million usd or even less (1% yearly interest means 100k usd a year), and still have money left over to donate
Musk has about 30 000x that
Yes. We are saying the same thing.
If you’re rich you can both invest, retire, travel, live off dividends AND donate your money and support the well being of others.
What positive stuff? Like I’m legitimately asking.
He is cartoonishly evil.
He’s not cartoonishly evil until he gets a pet cat and holds it all the time.
Right now he’s just evil
I wouldn’t wish that on any cat though
See how he trots his son out in public
aka … his human shield
Also that thing he does with his hands now.
For a short couple years Musk actually was doing legitimate engineering work at SpaceX. Yes it was high level, but it did involve proper work and deep understanding of the systems. And yeah, Shotwell had to stop him from making several critically bad decisions during that time (like canceling Falcon Heavy).
I know all the Musk haters will disagree with me on the idea he did contribute to the engineering, but it’s extremely well documented by both the employees at the time and spaceflight journalists.
But honestly before and after that, I can’t think of anything else he really did at a technical level though.
Okay but is he doing any work in SpaceX now?
Let’s paint with a broad brush and say everything you said is true and completely ignore the part where he has to be stopped from making stupid decisions. Let’s give him so much rope that we can ignore it.
What good stuff is he doing now? Like is he feeding the homeless? Hell, I’ll take doing the dishes when it isn’t his turn.
I genuinely want to know what he considers “good things he’s doing”.
Not as far as I can tell, he’s doing squat other than tweeting and dismantling the government at the present. And he’s fried his brain with drugs so far it’s going to be impossible to recover.
If this is any way true, then they need to be shut down immediately. He is not an engineer. He does not understand anything. I’ve heard him speak about things I know and pretend he’s knows about, and it’s obvious he’s a moron.
Sigh, just because he’s a moron about most things doesn’t mean it’s true about everything. Just watch some of his interviews with spaceflight journalists and you’ll see he knows his stuff for a while and then slowly loses it over the years.
Humans have this infuriating habit of believing that because someone is distasteful they must be stupid in every possible way, but this is very rarely true. Oh, I wholeheartedly agree that he’s remarkably stupid, and I agree that at this time he knows very little about what’s going on at SpaceX, but you are ignoring the evidence if you believe it has always been this way.
Let’s be better than this and actually look at the facts, not the emotional reaction. You’ll come to the same conclusion either way - Musk is a horrible human being who has no right being anywhere near government, or even industry for that matter.
My feeling is that he sort of lives for creating impressions like this, so people treat him as if he is, well Tony Stark basically. He gets off on that. And that is also why he is so obsessed by getting respect from the gamer, nerd, and geek communities. So fuelled by this motivation, he reads a lot on technical topics and is intelligent enough to absorb the superficial level details. Superficial but nevertheless enough to impress people who don’t know any technical details (journalists) and enough to impress engineers etc too because they are surprised to see that he knows anything at all on a technical topic of their expertise. I have had the same feelings before, if someone which I know is unrelated to my field comes and talks about some basic technical details of it, I get a mixture of surprised feelings and respect. But all it really takes to get that information is just reading some wikipedia articles.
What kind of engineering work? That’s a really broad category.
Like, are we talking aerospace engineering? Software engineering? Systems engineering?
I don’t think the interviews angle means anything. Just because he was able to convince a journalist he knew the right words doesn’t mean that he was actually contributing to the actual engineering of the rockets. If he spent 20 hours a week in engineering meetings, he might have absorbed enough to talk intelligently about it.
I also wouldn’t give much credit to employees saying that he did engineering work. This is the same guy who bought the title of “founder” when he bought Tesla, and loves using NDAs to muzzle people.
I’m not saying I have doubts about his actual engineering because I think he’s an asshole so he must be an idiot. I’m saying it because I’ve never heard him say anything technical that wasn’t basically Star Trek technobabble, and at the same time I have seen him do a lot of shady things to make it seem like he’s more involved than he is.
He’s so sad, it’s kinda remarkable. He’s like the epitome of a narcissistic billionaire CEO.
The insecurity is palpable. I sincerely hope this will be remembered and studied.
If people were truly trying to destroy his influence, he wouldn’t be around for much longer.
Dude literally posts his stupid thoughts on his own platform. No one is making that shit up and making him type it out. What a dolt.
He won’t even apologize for it but instead doubles down. Maybe we should double down on this, too.
There is a video. Two Nazi salutes. Denial is just a blatant lie.
The richest man on the face of the planet is actually a victim.
Sure you are doing good things. You’re also doing bad things. They are not mutually exclusive, dumbass.
Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute, buying presidency despite not being able to hold office due to nationality, carving up entire programs and departments in a very incompetent way, and attempting to shamelessly buy a seat in the supreme court.
And that’s not mentioning how I personally believe he may be doing all this due to his God-Iron-Man-Savior complex which makes him believe he’ll be remembered as a modern messiah. Notice how he’s revived his desire to put mankind on Mars, and by next year no less. He knows under current laws he’d at best help pave the way to Mars, but not live to enjoy it himself. “Maybe if I change the whole rulebook - in the end despite the suffering they’ll thank and revere me”, I bet.
Poor Elon. I bet he’s crying right now for being a misjudged angel, drying his tears in green paper.
Says the one actually doing a whole nazi salute
Two whole Nazi salutes.
He is named Elon after a character in a novel by Wernher von Braun. The boy had no chance.
How was Errol Musk aware of the book (in 1970 something) if it was unpublished until 2006 ? (According to the wiki link below) ?
Were they doing nazi catch ups with Von Braun in the 60s or something ?
Maybe because of the excerpts that were published in the 1950s?

Show us your titties Elon, you little bitch
“Fake nazi stuff” lol. Elon Musk has no skills at all for dealing with people who aren’t on his payroll and don’t have to kiss his spoiled rotten ass lol
List 5 positive things you did last week.
Positive for my interests or what?
The thing is… slashing welfare, trying to erase trans people, hoarding billions in government subsidies are positive things in his book.
So… we’re helping him by taking about it? That just feels wrong.
No, he simply can’t wrap his head around what’s going on
Musk is that kid in middle school who went out of his way to act smug and edgy in a desperate attempt to impress the other kids but it was all so cringey and irritating that it just made everyone hate him, but he was so dysfunctional that all he could do was try even harder to be smug and edgy, which just made the other kids hate him even more, and 'round and 'round it went until finally somebody decked him and then his mom complained to the administration because the other kids were bullying her baby.
You’re make this sound like it’s a metaphor or something…
But Musk is that kid literally, and last year one of the other billionaires did try to fight him for being unbearable until his mom literally stepped in and helped him back out
He’s a rich manchild who people put up with when he let them play with his cool toys. Then he went from the weird rich kid to a total asshole the second he thought this was loyalty… Now he’s crying about being bullied because everyone is turning against him, despite continuing to fuck absolutely everyone over
Elon “empathy is the great failing of the west” Musk wants people to feel sorry for him?
“Evil I think is the absence of empathy”
Like every conservative, he just hates that people have empathy for anybody but them
Musk doesn’t think you should care about other people because he doesn’t care about other people.
Musk thinks you should care about Elon Musk because he cares about Elon Musk.
Musk does not have the ability to understand that there is a contraction there.
