> Elon Musk (right) has drawn comparisons to Gerald Ratner in recent years
The 1980s British businessman who Musk most reminds me of is not Gerald Ratner but Robert Maxwell.
- walshemj 7y agoReally I don't recall Elon doing any of the really shady shit that Maxwell did.
- seem_2211 7y agoYou should take a closer look at Elon Musk (starting with some of the sketchy shenanigans at Solar City).
- walshemj 7y agoYour probably to young to recall Maxwells shady dealings in the political/spook world (some people think that is what killed him) And also stealing hundreds of millions from pensions funds that lead to wholesale reform of the pensions industry in the UK
- seem_2211 7y agoYeah, both are shady AF.
