Mini rant: Can we stop calling that guy by his first name as if you were his acquaintance?
- AviationAtom 6y agoI just call him Musk Daddy. Does that work better for you?
- ryzvonusef 6y agoMini rant: Sincerely, who cares? Musk just has a weird mouth feel (has the same strange feeling like saying "Moist", to me), Elon just flows of the tongue better, (both literally and metaphorically in the "thought voice" sense), and also is rather unique (unlike Jack, Tim, Mark or Jeff, Elon is a far less common name) if it gets the point across, why quibble over such minor details? Also, on a seperate point, Elon has rather created that familiarity by his constant Twitter updates, we FAR more about Elon, both personally and professionally, on a MUCH more regular basis, than like the next thousand billionaires combined. It's not strange that people DO genuinely believe they are acquainted with him in some way.
- dev_tty01 6y agoPerhaps refer to SpaceX rather than Elon?
- Hiopl 6y agoWhy do you care so much? Did you complain about the same thing with Steve Jobs, that we should be saying "Apple said" instead of "Jobs said"? Or Bill Gates? Mark Cerny? Or.. Well, in many situations where the CEO or other management of a company says something, where it's absolutely normal to mention who said it?
