You’re both right - spending tons of money just to build influence does not buy you respect, but investing your money in something that contributes to the greater good does. Unfortunately for Elon, this requires good intentions and substantial effort, neither of which he possesses. So, he bought an epic gamer account to brainwash the most vulnerable members of society into believing he’s some kind of 22nd century technogenius! Seriously, what the fuck is actually wrong with this man???
Thing is, he could still hire people who do know how to do that - he just doesn’t see the point. Like the person who refuses to hire an electrician instead of just doing it himself, he keeps getting it wrong and then being shocked.
He had one, but he fired her and looks to be too stubborn and sure of his own competence to hire another one (or maybe too proud to admit that she was right and useful after firing her for petty reasons).
