>He's the richest person in the world, he's so tremendously successful whatever attributes that you want to apply to him is literally only something to learn from. Hubris? Overconfidence? He's basically the world's first trillionaire. He has had how many doubters along the way and he's right every time? Is it the goal ? To be the richest ? Amazing perspective for our world ahead, let people amass cash, it's going to go _great_ >he's right every time Except when he bets on camera only FSD, causes deaths, pushes the Hyperloop, does the Vegas Loop, calls people who reject him pedophiles, pushes Starship, pushes absolutely terrible working conditions for both factory workers and engineers, and an unending list of Elon bullshit. In the same way, is he "right" when Tesla only exists because of credits from the state (which he then complains about when the state asks him to respect the law), when SpaceX only exists because the US has kept it afloat, when he was kicked out of Paypal for being a dumbass, when he threatens our spacefaring possibilities with bullshit pride projects such as Starlink, when his stocks are propped up with his lies and just his personality ? Sure. Must be nice to live in the Musk Reality Distortion Field. Be real. He's not a hero.

>Is it the goal ? To be the richest ? Amazing perspective for our world ahead, let people amass cash, it's going to go _great_ No, Elon understands money unlike most people. Money is not a thing to anyone except the poor. Money is not a measurement of being able or not to do anything. In understanding that you generate wealth that is beyond money. >Except when he bets on camera only FSD, causes deaths, pushes the Hyperloop, does the Vegas Loop, calls people who reject him pedophiles, pushes Starship, pushes absolutely terrible working conditions for both factory workers and engineers, and an unending list of Elon bullshit. Controversial guy eh. Crazy how much society is rewarding him so much. >n the same way, is he "right" when Tesla only exists because of credits from the state (which he then complains about when the state asks him to respect the law), when SpaceX only exists because the US has kept it afloat, when he was kicked out of Paypal for being a dumbass, when he threatens our spacefaring possibilities with bullshit pride projects such as Starlink, when his stocks are propped up with his lies and just his personality ? Sure. Must be nice to live in the Musk Reality Distortion Field. Be real. He's not a hero. I agree, a certain political persuasion really dislikes him.

You're being down voted because your comments came off very angry and ranty. However, you are not wrong. His twitter usage is often hate filled or bullying. The one that stands out most is calling the scuba diver a pedo because he called Elon's submarine idea a PR stunt, which it totally was. Or when he trolls Bernie by saying he forgot he was still alive, because he doesn't agree with his stance on taxation. Elon is not really the best example or leader of free speech I would hope for.
