- qaq 4y agono way people who do things don't have 100% success rate what a surprise.
- diebeforei485 4y agoFlint's water supply is fixed.

- rtkwe 4y agoNo thanks to anything Elon did afaik. It was all the slow boring fix of state work.
- glenstein 4y agoRight, and that was the reason the point was raised. Whenever we achieve the grand unified theory of comment sections, it will include a formalized concept for this process of context loss as an explanation for where arguments come from. The deeper in you go, the more likely that the reason the point was raised will be lost. And crosstalk will arise between people carrying on the original point and those who experience the latest comment as its own starting point.
- diebeforei485 4y agoFirst result from a google search of "elon musk flint water" was https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/elon-musk-flint-michigan-water-b2011633.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/elon-musk-... Fact is the issue was largely already solved, even though the perception was that the water was still unsafe.
- beeboop 4y agoElon did exactly what he said he'd do about Thailand
- aaronbrethorst 4y agoAccuse people of pedophilia and send private investigators after them?
- beeboop 4y agoPeople like you make it exhausting any time Musk comes up in conversations online. Please keep your poor takes on Twitter where I can avoid you.
- aaronbrethorst 4y agoI feel the same way about Elon superfans, if it makes you feel any better.
- Aeolun 4y agoTo be fair, nobody wanted him to fix those issues. He’s also guaranteeing that the soldiers still alive in the Mariupol steel plant can communicate with their families, because of a swarm of Starlink satelites currently positioned above Ukraine. I dunno, I find the guy abrasive, but he does get results.
- textadventure 4y agoI think it would be fair to say that "fixing Twitter" would be more in line with Musk's actual experience (ie: running a tech company) than rescuing kids in Thailand or fixing water supplies.
- roguecoder 4y agoNone of the companies he's run have been tech companies, much less ad-revenue social media platforms: they are manufacturing companies with tech valuations. And the software from them is not good.
- textadventure 4y agoHis background is as a developer himself, and he co-founded x.com which was very much a tech company, which later merged into PayPal. Musk was CEO of PayPal for a few years until the company was bought by eBay.
