It's 2025, if you're just seeing the trouble with Elon now you're probably not as smart as you think you are. He's a fake and a con artist, and when he's not those things he's a ruthless tyrant. It's not a credit to Sam's moral character, which he clearly rates very highly, that he was ever friends with the guy in the first place. Sam likes elites, but he prefers them more refined. He's just lamenting that Elon's letting it all hang out now.
- dwaltrip 2y agoHe wasn’t a fake 10-15 years ago… I know people who worked with him directly. He has a technical mind and an eye for practical solutions to hard problems (when he’s not acting deranged). He’s obviously far off the deep end now but the narrative that he is a complete charlatan is just plain wrong, as convenient as it would be. C’est La Vie
- profstasiak 2y agocan you write a bit about how he is a con artist?
- sincerecook 2y agoYeah, Tesla being a tech company instead of a car company is a con, all the publicity stunts - boring company, Hyperloop, Mars are all cons to attract attention. The crypto stuff is all a con. Elon is very good at getting a hype flywheel going, particularly in this age of man children.
