In the Elon Way of Thinking, unless you 100% agree on everything and drink the cool aid and roll with rapid reversal of logic giving you whiplash, you are again

In the Elon Way of Thinking, unless you 100% agree on everything and drink the cool aid and roll with rapid reversal of logic giving you whiplash, you are against the mission, and thus the enemy. Since everyone can one day disagree, and thus is potentially the enemy, the conclusion is we must spy on all internal and external entities; and when they disagree with anything, for instance, wanting a better workplace, question their motives. Another example: The SEC simply wants CEOs of a public company, you know, not to lie on twitter about material stuff like having a deal to buy-out the company... but according to Elon, the SEC simply wants to destroy Tesla; is part of a sinister network of anti-Elon forces, and can't possibly be actually watching out for investors and pensions. This is the mentality of a paranoid dictator. Short-sellers, who are to Elon are like Hillary/Muller to Trump on Twitter, are seeing a company constantly missing self-imposed goals and milestones, must also have be evil people, as opposed to simply pointing out the blatant issues on hand.
- hi5eyes 8y agototallynotacult elon's hubris makes him and his actions with his companies pretty great entertainment but his treatment of employees and his followers treatment of those not drinking his kool aid is scary. his/teslas brand is interesting
- norman101 8y agoHe makes electric cars and spaceships, of course there will be people like you who find a reason to hate him. The contrarians who should just be ignored and brushed away as annoying little squeaky voices as the future drifts further and further away from their ignorant tiny little brains
- AndrewBissell 8y agoLots of people could make electric cars and rockets ("spaceships" lol) if they were handed 10s of billions in investor funds and government subsidies. It's really not that special of an accomplishment.
- norman101 8y agoNope, not true, completely full of it.
