Damn I can't stand Elon Musk

[Geek Nasty]

Clout chasing wannabe Tony Stark ass, always in front of cameras stealing other people's quotes and tweets and dumping them on Twitter like had the epiphany

Dude is known for 2 things; Tesla that he bought and SpaceX which is powered by free tech NASA gave to try to get private industry going. Tesla doesn't even make money off of cars, he makes money of of credits. So both of them are HIGHLY subsidized by the government

Dude's whole business plan is stunting on the gram

Blows up rockets, then has everybody in the media repeating "we collected really good data!" like a bunch of sychopants who didn't just witness a collosal failure

NASA was landing rockets 25 years ago, he gets gifted the tech and does it and the whole world celebrates like it's never happened before.

When a clout chaser is is willling to take dangerous shortcuts, you can't win. That's why he's already floating how many people are going to die getting to Mars. This is one reason why I've always been against prematurely handing over our space program to private industry, they're going to cut corners because of profit motive

He inherited wealth from his father's apartheid South Africa mining company.

Handing over? As in no more NASA at all, and only private space? I never thought that was on the table, and I love the idea of private space.

Edit: And yeah, Musk is a for the gram ass muhfukka.

I've lost most of my respect for him after touting shyt like Dogecoin

To think that I used to for this guy.

I didn't realize that he didn't found Tesla, now I look at his wiki and he didn't found Paypal either.

In 1999, Musk co-founded X.com, an online financial services and e-mail payment company.[45] The startup was one of the first online banks to be federally insured, and, within its initial months, over 200,000 customers joined the service.[46] The company's investors saw Musk as inexperienced and had him replaced with Intuit CEO Bill Harris by the end of the year.[47] The following year, X.com merged with online bank Confinity to prevent unnecessary competition.[35][47][48] Founded by Max Levchin and Peter Thiel,[49] Confinity had its own money-transfer service, PayPal, which was more popular than X.com's service.[43][50] Within the merged company, Musk returned as CEO. Musk's preference for Microsoft software over Linux created a rift in the company and caused Thiel to resign.[51] Due to resulting technological issues and lack of a cohesive business model, the board ousted Musk and replaced him with Thiel in September 2000.[52] Under Thiel, the company focused on the PayPal service and was renamed PayPal in 2001.[54][55] In 2002, PayPal was acquired by eBay for $1.5 billion in stock, of which Musk—the largest shareholder with 11.7%—received over $100 million.[56][57]

He was bragging about running PayPal just yesterday when he didn't even start that shyt and his entire tenure was a long series of L's. Literally all he did right was have x.com be a big enough early competitor to be worth acquiring and got hooked up with that valuable PayPal stock as a result.

Yet he has the gall to stunt like this:

You should have known he was a buster after the whole kids stuck in that cave fiasco.

Elon reminds me alot of this fat classmate who graduated with our class. He always wore sweaters and sweatpants, collapsed constantly in gym class, lived in a rich neighborhood, but was smart in programming. He prided himself on being an expert coder, but, like everyone else, he only knew so much and just gave this disgusted look of someone beating him in which he view himself as superior.

I see that in Elon. He is wealthy, but I view him as a wealthy person that is trying to seem cool. Per OP, I see him thinking he is Tony Stark, and for a ton of people, the view Elon as this 'cool person' because he is more public.

However per @Darth Nubian, he tried to push out a sub to the kids despite most of them already rescued for clout... and called the other person, a diver helping them, a 'pedo guy'.

It's going to be interesting to see how Elon's companies hold up, since Tesla has to compete with Electric Cars and SpaceX.

I knew the dude was an ass when he was on Twitter downplaying COVID.

 

[BK The Great]

I hate stuck up people in general. Maybe he has sociopath tendencies.

 

[Mr Rager]

What are his actual accomplishments?
Not the accomplishments of his employees...but HIS accomplishments?
