    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.

                  So the latter, huh.

                  My man here takes a minute to think and comes up with “BUT… BUT VIRTUAL NUMBER BIG” contra argument… Again.

      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.

      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.
