He's the driving force behind some of the greatest innovations of our time. He's also just a person. I doubt many people can say they've had greater impact or could withstand the same scrutiny.
- newaccount74 3y agoPeople would have a much better opinion of him if he stuck to realising crazy projects (an electric car thats faster than a supercar, reusable rockets, solar panels that look like normal roof tiles...) and kept his questionable political opinions to himself.
- threeseed 3y agoEveryone is free to have their political opinions. The issue with Musk is that those opinions are being manifested in the product decisions at Twitter e.g. taking a laissez-faire attitude towards hate speech and deliberating promoting controversial accounts in order to drive engagement.
- aPoCoMiLogin 3y agoi'm not sure what is the source of that but I've noticed that a lot of people has the need to take everything personally, and can't separate things. for example I really like tom cruise as an actor, one of my personal top 10, but I don't like what he is doing in his private life (the cult thing). so what i'm doing is separating things and take what I like, and ignore (to some extent) what I don't like. I feel like you guys take things way to serious, and expect everything to be perfect, which is not possible.
- Breza 3y agoPlus he keeps making wild promises and only occasionally delivering. Those roof tile solar panels you mention are a great example.
