back to when exactly? Let's remember for a moment his behaviour with the Thai cave episode, he wasn't any better. Thing is, people just put up stupid stickers about purchasing their Teslas before he went nuts, but he has never been centered.

  He's an asshole. So was Steve Jobs. We're better off with brilliant assholes devoting themselves to industry than politics.

      You don't get lucky building both Tesla and SpaceX. Bezos spent the same amount of time and money on a rocket company and they haven't got far. Elon does have something going, it's just unlikely the competence carries over to national and international politics.

        PayPal, OpenAI, Neuralink too The guy is clearly very skilled at identifying opportunities and putting together the best team to execute on them. Probably better than any other human alive today. People may not like the guy for whatever reason, but saying he isn’t talented is absurd.

being asshole in private is still different than being asshole in front of the world
