I hate elon as well but I have to give it to him, not everyone with money can scale a company like he did.
People say elon’s dad was rich and he bought all the companies, this might be true but there are many people with rich dad’s but not everyone can take a company to a level where Tesla, spacex and others are.
You’re saying that like he scaled it with profits. This is all taxpayer money and grifting.
Tesla exploded during the start of EVs, and has only devalued since. SpaceX is run by crazy engineers, not Musk, and is all paid for by taxpayers and carbon offsets.
Twitter is an example of a company where Musk is left at the helm, alone.
I always figured it was a social networking addiction, combined with his fans replying to him and agreeing with everything he said constantly, some of whom are Nazis
Not everyone with money could build two huge successful companies (and let’s face it, while he didn’t found Tesla, the company wouldn’t be this successful without him).
Someone without money (as in, at least multiple millions) could never do this, no matter how talented.
Elon Musk has repeatedly beaten the odds when everyone was telling him that it’s impossible or stupid. He did this at least 3 times. But this breaks a man. He starts to think that every idea of his is a good one, especially when everyone else is telling him it’s stupid. A good example is George Lucas, prequels and sequels were the way they were because he didn’t have to listen to anyone, so he didn’t.

He must have a brilliant team
Elon maybe have done too many drugs because his discourse is completely different to a decade ago.
He may always have been an asshole but he had some sense of proportion, in his public pronouncements at least.
He either dropped the mask, or he has fucked himself up somehow. Possibly a bit of both.
Nah, it’s the result of “yes man” culture.
He thought he was always right, because he thinks he’s smart.
So if an employee disagreed with him, it’s because they weren’t smart. So he got rid of them and promoted people who would agree with them.
After a couple years that means everyone around him would just agree and tell Elon he was a genius.
With no constructive criticism, he’d start making wilder plans, and everyone would still call him a genius. And it just spirals.
He went full Kanye, never go full Kanye.

I like to always think that it started because of that PewDiePie meme review he did. Random but it just felt like the start of all this.

Thanks, I edited the post.
“and others” implying that you actually include twitter in that list?
Obviously not.

Probably PayPal?
