I have a feeling he designed the cyber truck and that's why it sucks so hard
-
Nope, he didn't do that either
-
Oof.
-
-
Yeah iirc, he boasted a bit about that and there's alot of engineers that responded to various comments about design oversights saying most of it was musks design, it was designed how he wanted it the way he wanted it, agianst the advice of engineers. They saw some these problems miles away but that car specifically was musks baby, his personal magnum opus, his personal design.
Probably a reason them being vandalized hirts him even more, not only is he an arrogant petulant child, that really is "his" creation. Treats it more like his kid then any of his children which "died" to wokeness.
-
On an video done by common sense skeptic, he mentions that Teslas business plan was layed out by the original founders up until the launch of cybertruck. Indicating that Musks only major contribution was indeed the Cybertruck. He also has a couple of patents, one for the shape of the charger socket and the other one I can't recall.

-
never designed anything
i am convinced that he at least had a lot of say in the design of cybertruck. the sheer amount of design flaws on that thing is just too many to believe it was made by actual engineers without any input from a barely literate troglodyte.
-
I remember some article about SpaceX a while ago, where an engineer says that the work day grinds to a halt whenever Musk arrives at the factory because he wants them to work in a very specific way that isn't actually conducive to being a rocket manufacturer, but which he thinks is how rocket manufacturers operate.
-
Didn't he invent his college diploma? Heard something about that a while ago ;)-
I just looked it up, it does not look like he made his degree up, but there was an issue where he was going to get his Economics degree in 1995, but stayed an extra 2 years to dual major in physics, then claimed he got the physics degree in 1995 instead of 1997 in business deals. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/musk-physics-degree/

Thank you for actually fact checking it - I stand corrected!

I would argue Gwen Shotwell is to blame for spacex's success. Tom Muller made the engine, which is no mean feat, but Gwen built the company.
-
Gwynne* Shotwell, but yea, she built the company.
-
I also spelt Mueller wrong. I'm not a rocket appliances.
-
-
So the Credit goes to Tom Muller, without engine you cannot go to space.
-
-
Musk = POS Nazi.

The other day I was talking about musk to my GF, Me: “Musk is such a poser, he buys successful gaming accounts and pretends to be a top gamer by claiming those achievements as his own” GF: “Well, yeah, that tracks. Isn’t that what he does with his companies?”.
-
Sounds like a keeper!
-
That's not exactly a high bar to clear
-
-
Hahahahaha
-
-
I’m sure he drew the first Cybertruck design, because no competent car designer would come up with an ugly monstrosity like that.
-
-
The old school MS-DOS gaming groups on Facebook all mocked it on how it looked like it was an early 90s PC racing game car rendered in real life. Plenty of other 90s gamers also made similar claims about how it resembled clunky primitive 3D graphics of the era.
-
-
He just happened to get lucky and invest in 3 of the most influential technology companies of the past decade despite basically the entire planet telling him it won't be possible.
He just got lucky 🙄
This is a stupid fucking way to attack Elon. There are better ways to point out he's a drug addicted criminal.
-
And also lucky to have been born in the right family.
-
Yes he had starter capitol. 200m being generous. His investments have outpaced the stock market by a magnitude of 25. More than that probably.
He is likely the most successful investor on the plant at the moment where he has out performed the richest of the rich.
The guy is a fuck face but this meme/argument that he was just lucky for 25 years on multiple live changing tech is silly. He might be bi polar but he clearly knows good tech and how to nurture a company.
-
-
This is what capitalism gets you. You don't get leaders who get where they are thanks to their hard work or that they're better at what they do than others, you get entitled shitheads who never work a day in their lives and get everything handed to them, with zero work ethics and zero knowledge of how to do anything.
-
Dumb
-
-
Yeah, whn you shot-gun spray your investments, you're bound to get lucky.
What about:
- Solar roof tiles
- Dumbass tunel
- Morons' train in a tube
- Scam roadster and scam truck
- X as everything app nonsense
When you're born into financial security, you can try dumb shit, and you're bound to get lucky.
If you're born into financial security and you're a grifter/scammer - you're bound to become a billionaire.
-
-
Bringing down a superpower is pretty big. Something to brag about I guess.
-
Elon musk has a few patents. Nothing revolutionary and some not even related to his current venture. But his companies successes come down to his ability to promise completely unachievable goals.

This is exactly how Trump built himself up. As early as the 1970s when Trump was just starting to do his own ventures New York newspapers and editorials would jeer at him for being the biggest damn blowhard they ever saw. Someone who would promise the world and deliver nothing.
Yet this attitude worked... he managed to built a brand around himself as the successful businessman who, ironically, had no businesses successes. By the late 80s he was actively mocked by so much media it wasn't funny. Everything from sesame street to the 87 TMNT cartoon to the infamous Back to the Future 2 portrayal. It didn't stop there. It continued into the 90s with the villain in the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie being heavily based on Trump, as well as the villain in the 1994 movie Time Cop.
Everyone from playboy to a ton of other magazines. Despite all this he STILL managed to somehow maintain that image, and while it waned, the Apprentice somehow convinced people again that he was a business genius when he was the farthest thing from it.
He was not in isolation, of course. The libertarian movement had been growing and the idea that the US did not need a politician, but a businessman, as a president and that it needs to be run like a business and not a country had been building momentum for decades before his entry into politics.
If that movement didn't exist Trump would still be a failed businessman and probably have been thrown in prison a long time ago.

Musk is a sleazy salesman. That's all he is.
-
Perfect company for Trump.
-
A sleazy salesman who was built up by his dad as some kind of messiah.
-
-
Can someone provide sources for the information? I'm not doubting it, just that relying solely on information from a meme without references is generally a bad idea
-
For PayPal he was actually fired, but still had a lot of shares. Musk was fired when the company he was CEO of (x.com), merged with Confinity. PayPal was a service of Confinity. Musk kept pushing his X concept, whilst the rest of the company wanted to go PayPal. Musk got pushed out over this and some other conflicts. Later PayPal made it big and the shares made Musk a bunch of money.
So for PayPal Musk had zero to do with it's success.
-
-
That's because xelon is a nothing, and has always been a nothing. Money does not make you something. All republicans/conservatives are just the uncool kids that will never be cool. They don't understand what "cool" actually is. And when they try to be "cool", it's just cringe, cringe, cringe!!!
-
Of all the things that came from PayPal, musk and thiel being one of the worst things
-
@SirKevin He does innovate new, and highly toxic, forms of BS. Does that count? 🤔
-
He actually did invent that one game in the 80s, his only positive contribution to society.
-
Oooh, is it that game where you have to guess a number? I mean he didn't invent it but I'm sure he wrote it at some point.
-
No, its a space invaders-like game called Blastar
-
-
-
It's a perfect psycho business man. With inimaginable amount of money and resources. Greedy as a worm whole. You know like all most powerful few guys in the world.
-
@SirKevin Yeah, he is a con artist, but a good one.
-
Last year SpaceX received government subsidies totaling $10 million per day. Without government welfare he is worthless.
-
Even when he bought Xitter he was like two years behind the times on edgelord memes.
You can’t buy being cool or actually likable ¯(ツ)_/¯
-
He bought a presidency and platform with X. .... Are you living under a rock? You still see this as some sort of failure and not exactly the plan.
-

The poor Karens being genocided at home and being used as an insult in the West

So, while I'm confident Elon is absolutely terrible at anything software related, I did some digging to see how much he's actually done at anything other than software. It looks like he was highly regarded, at least with high level decisions, as the chief engineer of SpaceX from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/evidence_that_musk_is_the_chief_engineer_of_spacex/
Not trying to throw him a bone at all or anything. But is it possible that he does know a lot about rockets/propulsion?? I'm trying to get the facts about this as it's been a longstanding argument between my dad and I about what his involvement actually has been. My basic argument has always been, CEOs don't have the time of day to get involved with the nitty gritty, and his rebuttal is usually something along the lines of, "Well that's just how smart he is, I mean he sleeps at the factories!" :eye roll:
-
A reddit thread does not a worthwhile source make. The man is a tumor on society and has never meaningfully contributed to anything to a business he is involved with beyond taking and selling emeralds from his dads apartheid mine.
-
If you watch the Everyday Astronaut Elon interviews, it’s clear he knows a lot about rocketry, understands the workings of SpaceX in minute detail, and is obviously not just a disconnected CEO. While I’ll concede that he has played a great part in the success of his companies, I really don’t like the idea that pieces of shit like Elon and Bezos will have an oligopoly on space travel. I’d really like to see reusable rockets become more of a commodity with a lot of competition, because the future of space travel is too important to be under the control of dickheads like them.
-
On the contrary as I'd love to see all of the oligarchs become obsessed with space travel to the exclusion of everything else. If their level of obsession is sufficient, we might be able to get them off the planet.

This is really pathetic. If you hate the guy that's cool but Musk has earned his success. You can't just alter reality because it is convenient for your cause.
-
Name one thing Elon has done himself, alone, except inherit a huge fortune
-
Name one thing Elon has done himself, alone
Scam his way further up. He's been excellent at claiming e.g full self driving car or colonizing Mars were "just" years away, repetitively, and we are still waiting. What is nuts is that investors accept to STILL be waiting despite his predictions been clearly wrong.
So... even though I agree he didn't invent anything significant, he is the best grifter ever.
-
I saw a pretty sick utensil tree that he made recently.
-
He won a game of truth or dare with the SEC by buying Twitter. I don't know if anyone else has won truth or dare vs. the SEC, but he certainly spent the most doing so.
-
The guy is the CEO of several multi-billion dollar companies. The direction of those companies and all final internal decisions are the responsibility of the CEO. If the company does well or fails he carries that weight. I understand that you hate him but he has earned his success and Musk is an asset to America. You guys are seriously entering cult level delusion.
-
-
Not altering reality. Stating facts. Which, if you recall, don’t care about your feelings.
-
Swasticuck on parade
-
Musk hasn't earned anything it's been given to him. Without government subsidies, he's worthless.
