Tell me what you really think about Elon Musk.

[milestogo]

[C_U_L8R]

1. A poser with too much money.

Taking credit and profit from the accomplishments of others.

[OLDMDDEM]

2. Musk and Trump could be brothers. Both are so out of touch with the real world. Musk has too much money.

He could fund most of the governments on this planet. That makes him dangerous as he showed us by defunding USAID. People have died because of it, but he doesn't care. He will snort some drug and spend his day being the arrogant son of a bitch he really is. He has no empathy and would walk all over anyone who stands in his way.

[redstatebluegirl]

3. He is rich brat just like the orange wonder.

I have no use for billionaires who pay little to no taxes, abuse their employees and get rich off the taxpayers through bogus federal contracts.

[Maru Kitteh]

4. My internet was out for 3 days over the holiday, someone suggested starlink

I responded that I would rather sit out here in the wilderness without internet, television, communications, and I would even give up my electricity and running water before a gave a PENNY of my money to that drug-addled apartheid nepo-baby.

[DBoon]

5. In a just world, he'd be the crazy guy in the end cubicle

Ranting and raving while everyone else goes out of their way to avoid him.

Kind of like Milton in Office Space.

[doc03]

6. He is an an asshole.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. He's a sociopath

I think he gets off on inflicting pain on others.

[EdmondDantes_]

8. He's a horrible human being and parent

He also did a lot via self promotion and self enrichment to further electric vehicles and reusable space flight components while taking advantage of government subsidies.

Both of those things could have been done by others because the man of history narrative is generally useless, and he's still on balance a massive net negative for humanity.

[purr-rat beauty]

9. Apparently he is a genius...

...until he opens his mouth

I have yet to walk away from listening to him with a clear and enlightened understanding of any concept he's promoting

[moondust]

10. Overseer of mass murder.

USAID

[milestogo]

16. And while the whole world knows this to be true

he is blissfully unaware of it.

[moondust]

20. Unaware or in denial?

[milestogo]

21. He just doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone except himself.

He's ignoring the consequences of what he did.

[Johonny]

11. Has mastered making money by losing money

His successful companies are more paper than cash cows. He sells the future, but delivers poor bottom lines.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. TSLA Had A Gross Margin Of...

...4% of sales of

[2naSalit]

12. There are no words...

Strong enough in human language to describe how vile that evil fuck is.

[flvegan]

13. His sieg heil/nazi salutes said enough such that I don't have to. n/t

[misanthrope]

15. He is a threat to humanity**

Nm

[struggle4progress]

17. Let's send him to Mars with a shovel, some bottled water, several bags of 5-10-10, and instructions

to contact us when he's terraformed the place

[malaise]

18. A filthy rich woman-hating

racist illegal white immigrant with not one shred of decency or humanity.

[haele]

19. An early Silicon Valley nepo-baby code kiddie (and alleged "party" facilitator)...

Who managed to network and market himself to exploit enough easy opportunities and fellow expat tech entrepreneurs that he was able to make a shit-ton of money (mostly to go away) and position himself as an "Angel Investor" and the next Phoney Stark.
He was a decent picker of " almost there" niche businesses to invest in and could spin a good science fiction story to other investors - and rich folks. But other than his pretty good ability to code using 1990's/2000's software, his own real "engineering" knowledge is pretty much the same as an average high school nerdy kid who read magazines like Scientific America and Amazing Stories, along with every book in the local library's Sci-Fi section...

22. Today in the Guardian article by Cory Doctorow.

23. Over-compensating

for his repulsive appearance.
