This makes me think of how neuralink and Elon keep saying how their tech will revolutionize communication where people without it will seem so slow and utterly disadvantaged.
Literacy and comprehension allows vast amounts of data to be transferred between humans. Anything that increases that even more will be a game changer and really bad for those who won't have it.
Like seriously, I'm being glib, but also, what fucking achievements? He considers PayPal a failure because it never matured into his everything app. Tesla? The Tesla model S, X, and 3 were all blueprinted by Tesla before he bought it from it's actual founders and ratfucked them out of the company. The only vehicle that's seriously got his influence in it's design is the Cybertruck, and it's a complete shitpile. The Tesla semi has been a complete nothingburger since it's announcement, and he paid a TikTok performer to be his robot on stage because their robots suck ass too. Space X does alright, but they also are using tons of upcycled NASA patents and designs, and while their contributions certainly are far from nothing, that's not Musk. That's the engineers Musk hired. The Boring company is a complete fucking con job, end to end. It's only actual product has been a tunnel full of cars from his other stupid company, and flamethrowers. And again, as with Space X, as with Tesla: he didn't do shit. His engineers did. His marketers did. In fact two of these organizations are rumored to have dedicated teams of people who manage Elon's stupid tendencies so they don't sink the company.
And Twitter! Holy fuck where do you START. I fully grant the above are only rumors, but it's rather borne out by the fact that Twitter definitely didn't have an Elon wrangling team, and it shows. He's cratered it to be worth less than 10% of what it was when he bought it. It's gone from being the "worlds front page" stuffed to the gills with ads from prominent brands offering real products to just a higher budget, better engineered Info Wars, complete with the Nazis and the ads for dick supplements every 3 posts as they try desperately to break even in the budget. Meanwhile, "free speech absolutist" Musk bans people for being mean to him and invites folks openly exposed as Russian disinformation discriminators back to what's left of Twitter. And, at a time when the company was already struggling, he got into a pointless fucking pissing match with the city of San Francisco putting up an enormous stupid X on the building which he was eventually made to take down anyway.
So like, you challenge me to say a nice thing about Elon's achievements? Okay, but I need your help, because I don't know about any. Let me know of one, and I'll say something nice about it.
I don't know if you'd call this an achievement, but I will say he has offered everyone watching for it a first-class lesson in how being a billionare makes you medically incapable of relating to anyone and anything who isn't bending over backwards to tell you how amazing you are. He literally cannot handle any criticism, which is a problem because everything he touches turns to shit in one way or another. And the worst part is our system, as setup, is incapable of holding him to account for any of it. If everything he has goes down in flames, Tesla, X, Space X, Boring, the LOT, he will STILL be worth more than me and my friends will earn in our entire lifetimes. And for DOING WHAT? Making WHAT? Achieving WHAT?
If he wasn't the son of an Aparthied emerald mine owner, and didn't have daddy's money to get him started in investing, nobody would know who this fucking weirdo is, and nobody would care. He would be exactly like his fans: socially maladjusted weirdos screaming about white replacement theory on web forums.
So many things wrong here. Musk is a founder and there was no car, not even the roadster that was blueprinted before he was at the company. There was no more than a battery.
It's also very clear he didn't buy the company. Given he still doesn't own it. Stock award or not.
We know where the money is from. There's no billion dollar inheritance or payout being invested. This isn't Thiel or PG we're talking about.
SpaceX is very much ahead of other companies that have access to NASA. A clear sign you're wrong.
He's not the son of an apartheid mine owner and that's not hard to find out.
You need an adjustment of yourself. Stop spreading easily verifiable disinformation. Like the starlink stealing elections and NASA being replaced with SpaceX nonsense I've been hearing recently.
Nothing good or bad, success or failure is the work of any one person there alone. The fact you don't know who the designer of the CyberTruck is is telling.
