I am sorry you and the Musk fanclub can't seem to get a fucking joke. This is me feeling sorry for your lack of sense of humor, which fails twice now, not me apologizing. Also, you are dragging things off topic, again.

Oh lol, people get triggered from stuff, usually jokes, like maybe you and the other Musk connoisours should get the idea from the smilies, you know, somebody says on the interwebz....

You are repeating yourself, you know that? His success is mostly PR and getting rich via government dictate and probably behind the scenes cronyism. Tesla is hugely overvalued unnecessary crap, electromobiles only work as glorified town cars and the infrastructure for them is not there, his...

Ok dude, how often do leftists criticize somebody for being a crony capitalist? How often do people on the leftist/liberal side criticize the various Silicon Valley tech moghuls? How often do they criticize the MIC? How often do they criticize people who do massive amounts of virtue...

Yeah, sure, if you are losing call your enemy a lefty.

I am bashing on him from a rightwing perspective because I see him as a crony capitalist, narcissist grifter obsessed with pushing his own brand and as an occasional false populist, possibly a puppet for some segments of the deep state that want to reform the old grifting MIC into something that...

But muh recycling and muh reusability... The Greens need to get some of the blame for all of this, too. ;) Also, I kinda have the feeling that the USA's little attempt at reusability soured a lot of people on the idea. Anyway, according to latest news the price tag will be under 50 million...

Uh, huh. https://www.ruaviation.com/news/2018/10/3/12074/?h So sounds like he got a lot of under the table subsidies from various alphabet agencies and the US military. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens, but I am skeptical of the long term viability of some of Musk's projects...

He managed to muscle in on the grift of the likes of Boeing through connections of his own and to get in something cheaper, big lol. As to the autopilot: Another Alleged Tesla Autopilot Failure Raises Questions On Tesla Training System There's Been Another Major Tesla Autopilot Failure...

He has been successful because of branding, mostly. He had some part to play in PayPal, but saying he invented something is far from the truth. Most of his ventures were not that spectacular, they got rocketed to the top by cheap money, in paypal's case a dot com bubble and him managing to...

Yeah, sure, US military procurement is not massively bloated and insider deals are not made and Musk is not one of the beneficiaries. If he is de fact subsidized and benefits from stupid policies like massive handouts and regulations that force people to buy his shit that makes him a corporate...

And crony capitalism and snake oil salesmanship is good because it happens often?

Every small business gets backroom financing from the Pentagon to develop cheaper launch systems and a satellite internet that can be given to insurgents or friends of the USA or used by its own covet agents and military? He also got huge subsidies from Commiefornia, from an old Toyota factory...

And his extensive connections in government and all the contacts he is getting from the Pentagon.

Closest to an actual inventor I'd put Musk is Edison, who lied, hyperbolized and stole Tesla's ideas. :D I see him as a modern day Ivar Kreuger though.

Occasionally, not always, not on the most moonshoty ones.

Musk has underdelivered on a bunch of things like the Tesla autopilot. Tesla became as big as it is because of hype and carbon credits and government mandates. He is a massively overblown and a snake oil salesman, IMO.

Imagine if aliens tried to infiltrate Earth solely based on our media, Social Media in particular.

And here it comes, folks, the anticipated delicious Twatter spergouts:

Mostly your SCOTUS votes along party lines IIRC. Anyway, here is Razorfist's take on the effects of the purchase on the left:
