Not everyone who hates musk Hates him because of the 'cultural war'. Personally my turning point was the pedophile comments levied against the diver who rescued those kids trapped in that cave combined with him repeatedly lying to pump TSLA stock and ever thinking the boring company was an idea he could execute on.
That said, I've seen no evidence that he's contributed more than funding and hype for his companies. Perhaps that's enough for some people to call him a genius, and I suppose in those domains he is, but everything I've seen w.r.t his engineering indicates to me that he's an idiot. That wouldn't be a problem we're it not for him giving out bad engineering takes everywhere, but I digress.
@ George Bush, I'd definitely want to include his pushing common core, banning government funds for stem cell research, tax cuts, financial deregulation, waterboarding, and making Dick Cheney his VP on his list of failures
- kiba 3y agoIf all Musk is good for is for hype and funding, there's a dime a dozen entrepreneurs who would have done the same thing as him and be equally as successful and make himself less of an ass. I evaluated him as a person who inserted himself and made engineering decisions for good or ill and the result speaks for themselves. Now, whether or not we agree if Musk is good at engineering is beside my point. We should hold our entrepreneurs to higher standard, and not excuse their shitty behaviors.
