Musk is handing $45m A MONTH to a Trump super PAC, because he wants workers’ rights demolished and import tariffs in place to punish US consumers and further enrich himself.

The guy is a facking narcissistic apex sociopath. Should be relieved of his wealth and thrown in a bear pit.

Imagine if Musk used his wealth and tech talents to do do beneficial to humanity in general?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The space stuff is one of the reasons why I said Musk is important a while ago. He pushes boundaries in invention and we need that imo.

Flip side is, if you’re a billionaire, I find it almost psychopathic to not just fix some stuff.

Akon is trying to bring electricity to 600 million Africans and he’s a bang average rapper.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How important is he in this, though? It’s not like he’s the one inventing things, exploiting others that do and is part of a rich elite that are responsible for destroying the planet.

Could just be a nonce doing Putin's bidding to not get outed

Probably quite attracted to Putin's vision of an oligarch led new world order

I refer back to the fact that every single component in the iPhone (and this is not remotely a unique example) was invented in and by the public sector/with public money: DRAM cache, lithium ion batteries, signal compression, LCD, micro hard drive, microprocessors, SIRI, multi touchscreen, NAVSTAR-GPS, HTTP/HTML, internet, cellular technology…

Every. Single. One. Was public sector R&D.

We don’t need billionaires to have groundbreaking technology.

I’m not talking about Musk the billionaire, I’m talking about Musk turning thoughts into things with an uncompromising attitude that leads to him getting stuff over the line. People thought about brain chips, he made them.

Is it not more about him saying things like ' i want brain chips' then basically finding/ paying some really smart people to make it happen? I don't think he's actually made anything.

It’s about him putting together teams to make it happen, often in the face of andversity, and people like that are exceptionally rare.

He's basically another Steve Jobs.

Brilliant ideas and decent enough knowledge of the subject matter, but doesn't actually have the skills to do it himself.

Problem is his ego has got to the point where he genuinely believes he's some Tony Stark-esque genius.

Really? Putting a team together, when your are a millionaire doesnt sound that rare to me....isn't that what managers/C.E.O's/ owners do, regularly?

It was someone's birthday yesterday and we forgot to commemorate this video

I think his one child coming out as trans has legitimately broken his brain.

He was always a bit of a kn0b but the last few years he's pivoted hard.

Its there job

The concept of ‘dreamers’ and ‘doers’ is prevalent in most walks of life and I’m usually quite complimentary towards the latter.

Musk is a Grade A khunt though

Yeah really. You’ve got to take into account risk too, he’s nearly gone bust a few times. It takes bottle.. and now we have the best space rockets ever, the best electric cars ever and freaking brain chips and electronic eyes.

Rich parents are always useful

Yeah but if I had rich parents I’d be going down the Dan Bilzerian route, not the 18 hour work day.

Interesting article on his Grandfather

The acorn never falls far from the tree

His father also has a child with his own stepdaughter, so Elon's stepsister.

But how much of this is really benefiting humanity? Especially when weighed up against the damage a cuuuuunt like Musk has done?

They aren’t, Robbing. They really, really aren’t.

There are thousands of examples of equally and more impressive achievements in the public and private sectors across industries, very often without any singular inspirational, controlling or maverick figurehead. We didn’t need a Musk to put a man in space or on the moon; we didn’t need one to develop radiotherapy or chemotherapy; we didn’t need one to build the channel tunnel; we didn’t need one to deliver multiple COVID vaccines in a matter of months; we didn’t need one to deliver GPS, or the internet, or Kevlar, or solar energy, or pyrex, or credit cards, or Silicon Valley…

Musk, throughout his entire career, has overblown his influence and personal accomplishments as far as technological development are concerned. What he has done very well, and can claim a great deal of credit for, is spotted very particular kinds of opportunities, invested well, sold them to other investors spectacularly well (including the US govt, which has handed him hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money), and then rinsed those opportunities hard, sometimes successfully, others not so much. Where he has decided to get his hands dirty rather than sit off and let others manage his business investments, he has variously fallen out with his fellow investors and board members, been embarrassed by and fallen out with his technical leads, been accused of bullying and an abysmal treatment of staff, and cost his businesses money.

What he is is a very, very talented and accomplished venture capitalist and salesman. What he is not, contrary to his claims, is an ideas man, an inventor, or a tech genius.
