To say these things and not mention his business acumen (he runs a few) makes it sound like sour grapes/ad hominem attacks on the guy.
Yes, he's an oddball and he has some weird fetish around controversy, but he's a business leader studied by other business leaders. He delivers. He managed to put electric cars on the map, he made rockets that land, he's now boring tunnels and doing neuro network engineering. Not sure why baby names are mentioned over these.
- gota 4y agoI guess that is my point - a more self-controlled businessman with that track record would inspire a tremendous amount of confidence I didn't mean to discredit Elon Musk as an entrepeneur; only to highlight that the chaos he raises is not good for his own "brand" in the long run The baby name is just an example to contrast his decisions to that of 'regular' people: most people are extremely averse about doing harm to their children for any reason But I get your point - many people will care most or only about results. But I do think many more care about the way things are done I'd say I'm abouy half and half, to be honest. I won't deny investing in Musk's enterprises but I for sure will make it a smaller part of my portfolio than it should - precisely because he may one day go on twitter and implode the stock
