An estimated $4 to $20 billion in value, what is he thinking?
There are so many ways to dunk on him lately that I don’t think there’s a need to misrepresent this stuff. I think we can give him some flowers for being neck deep in the Tesla Roadster and SpaceX Falcon 1 design and release processes almost 20 years ago. But, then he did a Pokemon evolution from that baseline crazy to whatever we’re seeing now.
I’m also just not a fan of distorting facts to make someone look bad. If you call someone bad it should only because of things they’ve factually done (and Musk is bad) and not because of some fantasies someone else dreamed up to dunk on them. Also, most people aren’t going to fact-check this somewhere, so it’s easy to spread a falsehood as truth.
