I was on the fence when it came to Musk before he started peddling dodgecoin and doing his dog and pony crypto show. that's when i knew he jumped the shark.
Before that I was considering a Tesla as my next car. And I was actually excited for SpaceX developments. Not anymore. It's a shame to see a clown digging the grave of really nice tech that thousands of people have worked for ages to create (Twitter, Tesla, basically everything Musk touches).
- dehrmann 4y agoI'm glad you're seeing him for who he really is, but there wasn't a jump the shark moment. Remember when he tried to build a submarine to rescue those kids in the cave, then called an actual rescuer a "pedo guy?" What's complicated is he's a bit like Travis Kalanick in that he needed an absurd amount of self-confidence to go build Tesla (or Uber). This is the same self-confidence that lead to some questionable decisions later.
- x86x87 4y agoi mean, everyone has their own perspective and can choose to look the other way / explain bad behavior. for me the shark moment was bitcoin. you are right that he did many other things before that that I've maybe written off as eccentricities (although I admit looking back that the signals for who he is where there all along)
