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.
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.
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How was Errol Musk aware of the book (in 1970 something) if it was unpublished until 2006 ?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?

Two whole Nazi salutes.
Fake nazi stuff?
i was confused as well, i only know the real nazi stuff
Yeah, because supporting and claiming the AFD is Germany’s only hope (Germany’s Nazi Party, which is not called Nazi Party because that would be illegal in Germany) is exactly what a none Nazi would do!
Positive?
Anything?
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.
wow been a while since this
Ya and Britney actually didn’t deserve all that bs just like none of us deserve to be this old.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
They talk about “the left” as though there’s any kind of leadership or organization or solidarity.
Motherfucker, people just don’t like you, all on their own, because of who you are.
People can not actually grasp so many people existing. We were never meant to live in such large societies, historically, we only had a tribe that consists of maximum ~150 people.
It has been scientifically proven that we can’t hold effective social relations to a larger number of people. The exact limit is not clear afaik, but what this essentially means, in a community of millions, we abstract away groups of people into “the left”, “the bourgeoisie”, “the poor” which allows our brain to form social relations to these groups of people with the limited capacity it has, essentially treating each group as a single person.
Now of course, this abstraction is entirely inadequate, as each collection of people is always much more diverse than the abstract concept we use to replace them, and they aren’t really single individuals, they don’t act with a collective mind.
But most people do not understand this. They just work with these abstractions, these groups of people, as if they were real single people, because in some manner, it does work. If the abstraction actually groups correctly, then the ability to reason like this works decently well. But everyone is always wrong about these abstractions. They are always too general. They always fail to consider that there’s not a single mind at work.
It’s such an easy mistake to make. I see smarter people than Musk do it all the time. The enemy, like always, is missing knowledge, missing humility, missing self-awareness, unreasonable confidence, fear of the unknown/being wrong. All of which Musk falls into.
I don’t see any solution but to educate about this whenever possible. To speak to people about it. To raise the education about stuff like this wherever, whenever we can. I’m trying to do my part.
Good ted talk, but it could be boiled down to how many millions is a billion to blow most people’s minds. And even if you know it’s a 1000 million, our minds just can’t grasp that.
Try 100 billion.
A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
Things can always be boiled down. But the more you boil it down, the more previous knowledge you assume people have in common, and it might happen that they don’t understand because they didn’t have knowledge you assume they had.
Conversely, if you include too much information, not boil it down enough, you lose people by being bored of getting told things they already know.
In any case, it’s not an easy balance and I’m just doing my best here to guess which amount of “boiling down” is “just right”. But thanks for your comment, I’ll take it into consideration.
For a guy who thinks empathy is a weakness, he sure demands a fucking lot of it for himself.
Left is deeply deeply organized, otherwise it wouldn’t be all the lefties controlling every house, chamber, & office in the land
There’s nothing fake about a public Seig heil x2
As a trans woman, I’m only giving back what he’s been dishing out to me - except that when we talk about him, we’re actually telling the truth.
On that note, Elon is a whiny nazi pissbaby.
If you were truly telling the actual truth you would need to include at least 4 more negative adjectives in describing Elon.
How is he this dense? Seriously dude you could be the greatest hero the world has ever seen but you chose to be a villain.
He’s still a hero in his own mind, thinking “Can’t people see I’m trying to improve society? Sure, several million people might lose everything and maybe die, but you can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. It’s for the greater good!” Now he’s shocked the few million people scheduled for demolition strongly disagree.
I don’t think he’s dense. Clearly he knows exactly what he’s done. He knows that firing people could leave them homeless or dead, and he knows that cutting off life-saving medicine has killed people and will kill many more. His basic knowledge of well known facts is there… It’s just that he’s so narcissistic that none of that matters. When other people get f***** over it’s not important. It is only his ego that matters.
Of course that’s my best guess based on his tweets and video clips. It could be that he actually is that dense.
Show us your titties Elon, you little bitch
And by “push negative propaganda”, you mean use direct quotes and actual video of you.
Fake Nazi stuff.
So the inauguration Hitler salute was AI generated or what?
It obviously meant “my heart goes out to you”
/s
He obviously just greeted everyone enthusiastically.
He’s admitting that he’s a fraud, a fake, a phony.
No, it was real. He is complaining that the left is misrepresenting him by claiming that the Nazi stuff was fake, OBVIOUSLY!
