Musk seems to be more like an immature high school student than anything else. If he's always been this way it shows how much "meritocracy" is completely untrue

Musk seems to be more like an immature high school student than anything else. If he's always been this way it shows how much "meritocracy" is completely untrue. I just don't get it.

- boeingUH60 4y agoWhat's the objective requirement for meritocracy? One can both be a petulant child and a good businessman. Musk has gotten ultra wealthy for being the latter, but that does not change his attention-seeking antics. There's no appointed board deciding who merits wealth and fame or something...it just happens to some people.
- deltree7 4y agomeritocracy is rewarding what matters (building sustainable cars, launching rockets) and not-rewarding what doesn't (classic rent-seeking activities -- PR, Ethics, DEI)
- kevviiinn 4y agoYou think rent seeking isn't being rewarded? What planet do you live on? Landlords are making out like bandits and even raising rents just because they can How about patent trolls? The list goes on, rent seeking is capitalism at its finest
- JumpCrisscross 4y agoReading narrowly, isn’t this an overreaction? Why does every company need a permanent press team?
- giraffe_lady 4y agoYes, generalizing a specific concrete case into a universal principle is difficult in this case, as it is in every case, of everything. Did you have a particular reason to bring that up other than to deflect from the actual topic at hand? Anyway I won't try to make the point that every company needs a permanent press team. But twitter certainly does, and that's what we're talking about!
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> twitter certainly does I suppose I’m pushing back on this. Why? They’re their own media platform. If the negative reporting isn’t impacting usage or sales (a big if), why is it relevant?
