Technology Elon Musk: The Worlds Richest Man

[Terthna]

I have my own issues with Elon Musk too, but is this really the thread for this?

 

[Captain X]

No, but he is incapable of letting it go as long as someone argues with him about it.

 

[Rocinante]

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 signalling?

How often do they criticize governmnet for putting in place stupid green regulations that make insiders rich?

How often do they criticize electric cars?

Your allegation that I am "like the leftoids/libtards" is bullshit.

The core complaints, they are the ones that I see repeated. That he only got rich because he inherited money, and because he got money from the government. That he is essentially a snake oil salesman that doesn't deliver. That his success is mostly PR and branding. Shit like that.

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 autopilot underdelivers, and as things are going he will probably lose the billionaire status soon-ish.

Also, this entire push for electric cars is total nonsense and the CEO of Toyota said so.
Toyota, aside from not going full in on the garbage, is actually doing a lot of fundamental research in the field of alternate battery technology, and they are still making gas, diesel and hybrid cars despite people raging against them.

I mean, I'd be fine if some overcrowded municipalities added inceintives for more electric vehicles to reduce air polution and improve quality of life, but as things stand where power generation and infrastructure are concerned electric cars are a horrible idea.

SpaceX is not as big of an achievement as you all make it up to be, and I have outlined why.


So yeah, most of hus achievents are overhyped, subsidized and probably longterm unsustainable and the tesla price chart and P/E ratios are a clear indication this is an overhyped company, and I think this is indicative of his other ventures, too.

Also, his view on remote working is total bullshit.In fact for that alone I'd be happy to see both him and Jeremy Daimond get boiled in their own urine.

Also, didn't you basically ragequit and block me a while ago?

No, but he is incapable of letting it go as long as someone argues with him about it.

I didn't start it, I gave my opinion and the Musk fanclub got triggered.

When your opinion involves wanting to boil people in their own urine, people tend to react poorly. That's your problem; you've got no sense of tact, and tend to lash out at the drop of a hat.

I mean, take me for example; I agree that many of Elon Musk's products are overhyped and not nearly as useful as the buzz surrounding them would suggest (particularly Tesla and his unrealistic infrastructure plans like the Hyperloop), and that there are people who have become part of a cult of personality surrounding him and his supposedly magical ability to succeed at everything he does (similar to the one that surrounded Steve Jobs).

But all that said? You're acting like a big enough jackass that I'm embarrassed to admit my opinions on Elon Musk are in any way similar to yours.

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....

That's another issue you have; your tendency to slander people whenever they criticize or disagree with you in any way. Case in point; painting me as a Musk fanboy, despite the fact that you know I'm not one (unless your reading comprehension and memory is so lacking, it's a wonder you're able to form complete sentences), because you don't like what I said about you.

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.

...Wut?

...Wut?

CTRL+F the word for yourself.

 

[Husky_Khan]

Oh my gosh!!!



I totally did not remember this cameo either! Machete Kills came out in 2013, I'm not sure how big in the national consciousness he was at the time but yeah I did not recall this entire bit. I knew he went into Space at the end of the movie but I clearly forgot some pertinent details...

While preparing for my latest article-repost (it's not an article post, it's a mirror of an entire damn ebook), me and another forumite discovered that the capcha service on archive.md will endlessly loop you if you try accessing it from the Starlink service, so now I'm requesting for mirrors through my mobile data. Oh yes, onlookers, add "providing internet to King Kravoka" to your list of grievances with the man.
