I don't like him. He is a cunt.

But he is extraordinarily smart. He calls himself the Chief Engineer at Space X.

He doesn't know shit about engineering. He has no engineering degree. He just hires young engineers, make them work like dogs, and constantly takes credit for anything they achieve.

He uses his celebrity to attract more young engineers. He has an entire team that visits engineering schools and tells people "You have the ability to work for a genius and go to Mars. Wanna join ?". Again, he knows nothing about engineering. He has a financial degree from the Wharton School of Finance.

And from his time at Wharton, he learned one extremely important lesson. Perception shapes reality.

Elon Musk presents himself as the founder of Tesla. Tesla was actually created by Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard. He simply joined the company, fired them both, and sued them both. Then, he called himself the founder of the company.

In exchange of a confidential legal settlement ($$$), Tarpenning and Eberhard must stay silent. A lie repeated 10 times, 100 times, 1000 times, becomes reality. Many media outlets now call Musk the founder of Tesla. Perception shapes reality.

One of the reason he bought X is to shape the algorithm. He has urged millions of dumb people to buy Tesla stocks. And it's working. Dumb people just see random accounts on their X feed praising Elon Musk as a genius. And these dumb people actually believe it.

The same way, dumb americans on X constantly saw accounts attacking Kamala Harris during the 2024 election campaign. At no point did they find it actually suspicious ("Why am I seeing this content ?"). And it played a key role in election Donald Trump.

Greece is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. They don't respect driving laws. They openly throw trash in the streets. They smoke right in front of "Please don't smoke here" signs. The Greek politicians are completely corrupt. But these Greek politicians didn't fall from a sky. They are a reflection of Greek society.

Why do I say this ? Because my country faces similar issues.

Some cultures are just fucked.
