I know that's what people say, but this entire DOGE experiment has proven to me that Elon is fundamentally extremely lazy.
On the one hand, you might say "he's good at eliminating waste", but you can also say "he spends about five minutes looking at a problem and decides that problem is stupid and declares it wasteful".
You might be saying "tombert! He's the CEO of 5 companies! How is that lazy?!" but that actually proves my point. There is absolutely no fucking way he's doing five full time jobs, that doesn't even make sense, so clearly the jobs cannot be that hard.
Also, Elon lies about everything. If he says a statement, there's about a ten percent chance that it's actually true. He lied and said that we could do full self driving "today" in 2018, he lied about the moon trips going to be ready in 2022, he has lied over and over again about government spending (like saying we're spending 8 million dollars on condoms in Gaza), he lied about having autonomous robots in factories, he lied about having "baby AGI" in 2023.
I could keep going but I don't need to. A lot of his success is theoretical, and based on him making shit up.
ETA:
How could I forget...He cheats at Diablo!
You might think that's kind of a non-issue, and I would normally agree, but I think it exemplifies my point: He lied about something that fundamentally did not matter. There was no money on the line, it didn't matter if he was actually a top 20 player in the world, it's not like people would think he's better or worse at running a company based on his Diablo performance.
If he's willing to lie when there's zero stakes, why should we assume he's telling the truth when it actually matters?
- e40 2y agoCheating at a video game shows how deeply flawed his psyche is. Terrifying how much power he has.
- tombert 2y agoIt just cheapens all of his other accomplishments; he went on Joe Rogan and bragged about being one of the top 20 Diablo players in the world, despite the fact that he was just paying someone to play it for him. If he’s going to brag about something completely inconsequential and false, why should I take his word that he’s somehow really instrumental in any of the success of Tesla or SpaceX?
