What is that exactly? Seems like he is primarily good at having money, well at least until he set so much of it on fire with his Twitter acquisition. Otherwise, what is his achievement that isn't effectively just throwing money at a problem in a way that no one had previously done?
- giantrobot 3y agoHe's also good at taking advantage of government subsidies with a sub-skill of then complaining about paying taxes.
- cjbgkagh 3y agoI think it should be ok to complain about things that you benefit from, and I don't think it is hypocrisy. I benefit from the world's growing inequality but I still think it's a bad thing and will be long term detrimental and I complain about it to anyone who will listen.
- giantrobot 3y agoMusk complains that taxes on him are too high. He's fine receiving subsidies paid for by my taxes and your taxes. It's worse than simply being hypocritical it's being sociopathic. It's not at all like you complaining about a system that's unfair to others.
