Musk has his faults for sure, and he really needs some people reviewing his twitter posts before they go live.
But I find it amusing that people are so quick to point out his faults and criticize the guy when he's accomplished more in his life to date than any single one of his critics, with at most a couple exceptions, like Bezos.
Basically if he's a wanker, what's that make you? I don't think it's fallacious reasoning here at all to say that. Basically your standards for a non-wanker must be so high as to include almost nobody. I'm not just talking about his financial success, I'm talking about changing the world for the better with his companies, for raising 5 children, etc. The guy has his faults, but so do we all. If he's a wanker, than really who isn't?
- jacques_chester 8y ago> If he's a wanker, than really who isn't? In my estimation, most people are not wankers. I think we have different estimations. And accomplishment is not a defense against wankerdom.
- nemo846 8y agoI utterly hate the cult of personality around him. It makes any kind of discussion impossible. Look at the person you relied to, his post is already grey. The guy is kind of a wanker: https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-starter-wife/ https://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/a5380/millionaire-start... https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/29/elon-musk-doubles-down-on-pedo-claims-against-uk-cave-diver https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/aug/29/elon-musk... Everyone just give him a free pass which is bullshit. Personally I think the guy is a narcissist given how much he loves attention. Like most narcissists he will shit on you if you get in his way, right and wrong be damned - something to keep in mind.
- dang 8y agoRegardless of how you feel about this person or any other, would you please not post uncivil and/or unsubstantive comments to HN? We're trying for better than this here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- nemo846 8y agoUnsubstantiated? I even posted links. So all we are suppose to do is sing his praises on this site?
- dang 8y agoUnsubstantive, which on HN means void of intellectual interest. Your comment was an example of the kind of internet rant we don't want here. On this site, please neither sing praises nor vent ragefully. Both are boring.
