I’m sure he drew the first Cybertruck design, because no competent car designer would come up with an ugly monstrosity like that.
The old school MS-DOS gaming groups on Facebook all mocked it on how it looked like it was an early 90s PC racing game car rendered in real life. Plenty of other 90s gamers also made similar claims about how it resembled clunky primitive 3D graphics of the era.
The other day I was talking about musk to my GF, Me: “Musk is such a poser, he buys successful gaming accounts and pretends to be a top gamer by claiming those achievements as his own” GF: “Well, yeah, that tracks. Isn’t that what he does with his companies?”.
Sounds like a keeper!
That’s not exactly a high bar to clear
Hahahahaha
Of all the things that came from PayPal, musk and thiel being one of the worst things
Last year SpaceX received government subsidies totaling $10 million per day. Without government welfare he is worthless.
Musk is a sleazy salesman. That’s all he is.
Perfect company for Trump.
A sleazy salesman who was built up by his dad as some kind of messiah.
I remember some article about SpaceX a while ago, where an engineer says that the work day grinds to a halt whenever Musk arrives at the factory because he wants them to work in a very specific way that isn’t actually conducive to being a rocket manufacturer, but which he thinks is how rocket manufacturers operate.
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.
This is exactly how Trump built himself up. As early as the 1970s when Trump was just starting to do his own ventures New York newspapers and editorials would jeer at him for being the biggest damn blowhard they ever saw. Someone who would promise the world and deliver nothing.
Yet this attitude worked… he managed to built a brand around himself as the successful businessman who, ironically, had no businesses successes. By the late 80s he was actively mocked by so much media it wasn’t funny. Everything from sesame street to the 87 TMNT cartoon to the infamous Back to the Future 2 portrayal. It didn’t stop there. It continued into the 90s with the villain in the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie being heavily based on Trump, as well as the villain in the 1994 movie Time Cop.
Everyone from playboy to a ton of other magazines. Despite all this he STILL managed to somehow maintain that image, and while it waned, the Apprentice somehow convinced people again that he was a business genius when he was the farthest thing from it.
He was not in isolation, of course. The libertarian movement had been growing and the idea that the US did not need a politician, but a businessman, as a president and that it needs to be run like a business and not a country had been building momentum for decades before his entry into politics.
If that movement didn’t exist Trump would still be a failed businessman and probably have been thrown in prison a long time ago.
Well thats not completely true, he personally helped design the Cybersuck
And it fucking shows
I hear its the fascist thing on wheels :3
According to some graffiti, that’s true!
I have a feeling he designed the cyber truck and that’s why it sucks so hard
Nope, he didn’t do that either
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.
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.
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.
Musk = POS Nazi.
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.
So the Credit goes to Tom Muller, without engine you cannot go to space.
Gwynne* Shotwell, but yea, she built the company.
I also spelt Mueller wrong. I’m not a rocket appliances.
So, while I’m confident Elon is absolutely terrible at anything software related, I did some digging to see how much he’s actually done at anything other than software. It looks like he was highly regarded, at least with high level decisions, as the chief engineer of SpaceX from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/evidence_that_musk_is_the_chief_engineer_of_spacex/
Not trying to throw him a bone at all or anything. But is it possible that he does know a lot about rockets/propulsion?? I’m trying to get the facts about this as it’s been a longstanding argument between my dad and I about what his involvement actually has been. My basic argument has always been, CEOs don’t have the time of day to get involved with the nitty gritty, and his rebuttal is usually something along the lines of, “Well that’s just how smart he is, I mean he sleeps at the factories!” :eye roll:
A reddit thread does not a worthwhile source make. The man is a tumor on society and has never meaningfully contributed to anything to a business he is involved with beyond taking and selling emeralds from his dads apartheid mine.
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.
Musk hasn’t earned anything it’s been given to him. Without government subsidies, he’s worthless.
Swasticuck on parade
Not altering reality. Stating facts. Which, if you recall, don’t care about your feelings.
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.
Yeah, whn you shot-gun spray your investments, you’re bound to get lucky.
What about:
- Solar roof tiles
- Dumbass tunel
- Morons’ train in a tube
- Scam roadster and scam truck
- X as everything app nonsense
When you’re born into financial security, you can try dumb shit, and you’re bound to get lucky.
If you’re born into financial security and you’re a grifter/scammer - you’re bound to become a billionaire.
I was unaware successful people were not allowed any failure. I guess we’ll just ignore that and his objectively better performance than every other rich person 🤷♂️
Musk is stupid as fuck and has failed upwards his whole life due to being born rich. He’s basically a sentient bank account. If you had any professional experience in the areas Musk talks about you would see how fucking dumb he is.
Your assessment doesn’t really work if you look at his success compared to just about anyone. That includes much much richer fucks. I understand he has advantages but objectively he performs far better than his peers. He’s also accumulated quite a bit of policy power, again more than his peers.
Your assumptions are backwards. Its all probability and he is the luckiest of the rich dipshits. Its why he is so insecure, he hasn’t achieved much through merit. A smart person in his position would’ve fucked off already.
As “successful” as Elisabeth Holmes. She had “objectively the best performance than every other rich woman!”.
Honestly, you kids have your brains fried by these scam-artists. Your measure of “success” is so, so sad and pathetic.
My guy. He turned 200m into 305B. Definitely not successful. I’m quite brain washed I guess 🤣
Yes, you are.
You willingly ignore any argument in favour of “BUT VIRTUAL NUMBER BIG”.
That’s either being brainwashed or pure stupidity.
Name a single more successful investor in the past 40 years.
So the latter, huh.
My man here takes a minute to think and comes up with “BUT… BUT VIRTUAL NUMBER BIG” contra argument… Again.
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.
Dumb
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.
