He actually did invent that one game in the 80s, his only positive contribution to society.
Oooh, is it that game where you have to guess a number? I mean he didn’t invent it but I’m sure he wrote it at some point.
Musk is a sleazy salesman. That’s all he is.
A sleazy salesman who was built up by his dad as some kind of messiah.
Perfect company for Trump.
I have a feeling he designed the cyber truck and that’s why it sucks so hard
On an video done by common sense skeptic, he mentions that Teslas business plan was layed out by the original founders up until the launch of cybertruck. Indicating that Musks only major contribution was indeed the Cybertruck. He also has a couple of patents, one for the shape of the charger socket and the other one I can’t recall.
Nope, he didn’t do that either
Yeah iirc, he boasted a bit about that and there’s alot of engineers that responded to various comments about design oversights saying most of it was musks design, it was designed how he wanted it the way he wanted it, agianst the advice of engineers. They saw some these problems miles away but that car specifically was musks baby, his personal magnum opus, his personal design.
Probably a reason them being vandalized hirts him even more, not only is he an arrogant petulant child, that really is “his” creation. Treats it more like his kid then any of his children which “died” to wokeness.
Didn’t he invent his college diploma? Heard something about that a while ago ;)I just looked it up, it does not look like he made his degree up, but there was an issue where he was going to get his Economics degree in 1995, but stayed an extra 2 years to dual major in physics, then claimed he got the physics degree in 1995 instead of 1997 in business deals. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/musk-physics-degree/
Can someone provide sources for the information? I’m not doubting it, just that relying solely on information from a meme without references is generally a bad idea
For PayPal he was actually fired, but still had a lot of shares. Musk was fired when the company he was CEO of (x.com), merged with Confinity. PayPal was a service of Confinity. Musk kept pushing his X concept, whilst the rest of the company wanted to go PayPal. Musk got pushed out over this and some other conflicts. Later PayPal made it big and the shares made Musk a bunch of money.
So for PayPal Musk had zero to do with it’s success.
No offense, but since you replied to the other comment: I don’t think you know what a source is.
EDIT: lol, They asked for sources! You know, like links to proof…? It’s the very first sentence!
You can lead a dumb shit horse to water…
Did you ask Bobandy?
Well with Tesla, that was a lawsuit. He was being sued and due to the outcome, board members became co-founders. Legally Musk is considered a co-founder of Tesla.
And that’s exactly how newspapers should phrase it:
Musk, who won the right to be called a cofounder of Tesla in court, …
His base would applaud that he won that right
His base doesn’t give a fuck if he founded Tesla though
Even when he bought Xitter he was like two years behind the times on edgelord memes.
You can’t buy being cool or actually likable ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He bought a presidency and platform with X. … Are you living under a rock? You still see this as some sort of failure and not exactly the plan.
That’s because xelon is a nothing, and has always been a nothing. Money does not make you something. All republicans/conservatives are just the uncool kids that will never be cool. They don’t understand what “cool” actually is. And when they try to be “cool”, it’s just cringe, cringe, cringe!!!
never designed anything
i am convinced that he at least had a lot of say in the design of cybertruck. the sheer amount of design flaws on that thing is just too many to believe it was made by actual engineers without any input from a barely literate troglodyte.
I would argue Gwen Shotwell is to blame for spacex’s success. Tom Muller made the engine, which is no mean feat, but Gwen built the company.
Gwynne* Shotwell, but yea, she built the company.
I also spelt Mueller wrong. I’m not a rocket appliances.
He just happened to get lucky and invest in 3 of the most influential technology companies of the past decade despite basically the entire planet telling him it won’t be possible.
He just got lucky 🙄
This is a stupid fucking way to attack Elon. There are better ways to point out he’s a drug addicted criminal.
This is what capitalism gets you. You don’t get leaders who get where they are thanks to their hard work or that they’re better at what they do than others, you get entitled shitheads who never work a day in their lives and get everything handed to them, with zero work ethics and zero knowledge of how to do anything.
People who defend him claim he’s a super genius who invented electric cars and space shuttles straight out of his balls, so it does make sense to call out the fact that he himself didn’t create any of these companies and he’s not the one doing any of the development, all he has is money, all he does is shout and put his X on other people’s things.
Where do you hang out all day? /r/conservative?
You need to escape your algo/bubble. Nobody argues he’s a in weeds engineer since SpaceX outside of engagement bait.
Y’all go in circles with each other and repeat this stuff far more often than you’ll find it in real life.
And also lucky to have been born in the right family.
Yes he had starter capitol. 200m being generous. His investments have outpaced the stock market by a magnitude of 25. More than that probably.
He is likely the most successful investor on the plant at the moment where he has out performed the richest of the rich.
The guy is a fuck face but this meme/argument that he was just lucky for 25 years on multiple live changing tech is silly. He might be bi polar but he clearly knows good tech and how to nurture a company.
Because he does pump and dump shit. He tried it with Twitter when he “offered” to buy it, but was forced to follow though this time.
When he tried to weasel out of the Twitter buy, I bought a bunch of stock because I knew he couldn’t get out of it and it was way over the valuation.
Musk being a dumb fucking shit head helped me make some good money. My only regret was not buying more.
No, he’s just rich. Being rich like that attracts money even if you’re an incompetent buffoon
See: the US president
Then why hasn’t everyone who started out with a couple hundred million grown it to over 300 billion? I mean, if it just happens naturally, even to incompetent buffoons, then why don’t we see more people with 12 figure net worth’s? There’s thousands of people that start off in life with access to millions, but less than 2 dozen people have a net worth of over 100 billion.
Gee, I guess there’s more to it than just simply being rich.
…You know what I hate? I hate how fucking idiotic people become when they talk about someone they don’t like. It’s like they don’t even stop to think if the insult they’re using makes any good damn sense. Musk is a deadbeat, drug addicted, Nazi piece of shit; but it’s a such a fucking brain dead take to try to claim he hasn’t accomplished anything in business.
Like, Michael Jordan is by all accounts a terrible person. There’s lots of things you could say about him, but saying Musk just lucked or coasted his way to the top is like saying Michael Jordan wasn’t good at basketball.
Do you not realize that dumbass statements like that actually make things worse? All the boot-licking tech bros who support Musk use opinions like yours as evidence that anyone who criticizes him is a smooth-brained idiot and then they dismiss the actual, legitimate criticisms.
I fucking hate this world. I’m getting to a point where I just wish everything would burn to the ground because everyone on both side of everything is just so fucking stupid. Idiot fascists are taking over everything and those on the other side just sound like whiny children because they’re too fucking stupid to realize that just because someone is bad, doesn’t mean literally ever bad quality can be attributed to them.
It’s a perfect psycho business man. With inimaginable amount of money and resources. Greedy as a worm whole. You know like all most powerful few guys in the world.
This is really pathetic. If you hate the guy that’s cool but Musk has earned his success. You can’t just alter reality because it is convenient for your cause.
Swasticuck on parade
Name one thing Elon has done himself, alone, except inherit a huge fortune
I saw a pretty sick utensil tree that he made recently.
The guy is the CEO of several multi-billion dollar companies. The direction of those companies and all final internal decisions are the responsibility of the CEO. If the company does well or fails he carries that weight. I understand that you hate him but he has earned his success and Musk is an asset to America. You guys are seriously entering cult level delusion.
If the company does well or fails he carries that weight.
So are you stupid or a liar? That’s not how companies have worked in forever, he has golden parachutes built into his contracts and would flee the companies with guaranteed pay if he drove them into the ground.
Elon is a rich bitch who dumps money into shit until he’s the only person left doing it, he’s earned nothing in his entire Nazi life
That is how all publicly traded companies work. Yes he gets a large pay package, it was contractually guaranteed when he took the job as tesla CEO, but he still carries the responsibility of the fate of the company. Want to see how that works? Look at the former CEO of Intel Pat Gelsinger. Went from getting 20 billion from the biden administration to the verge of bankruptcy.
Name one thing Elon has done himself, alone
Scam his way further up. He’s been excellent at claiming e.g full self driving car or colonizing Mars were “just” years away, repetitively, and we are still waiting. What is nuts is that investors accept to STILL be waiting despite his predictions been clearly wrong.
So… even though I agree he didn’t invent anything significant, he is the best grifter ever.
he is the best grifter ever
No wonder he’s so popular in the US
Not altering reality. Stating facts. Which, if you recall, don’t care about your feelings.
Elon musk has a few patents. Nothing revolutionary and some not even related to his current venture. But his companies successes come down to his ability to promise completely unachievable goals.
@Sir_Kevin Yeah, he is a con artist, but a good one.
@Sir_Kevin He does innovate new, and highly toxic, forms of BS. Does that count? 🤔
