All of his enterprises are vaporware, if not to call a scam. Literally a vaporwave salesman.

- apparent 1y agoSo the astronauts were brought back from the ISS by vaporware?
- alangibson 1y agoSpaceX is not vaporware, but that's more because of Gwynne Shotwell than Musk.
- _mlbt 1y agoThere are advertised features of Teslas that are vaporware, but it’s a stretch to call them vaporware. xAI is also very real. Others have mentioned SpaceX. He bought Twitter/X but that’s not vaporware either. Neuralink is also real. The Boring Company has only dug 2 short tunnels so far, so the case can be made for calling that vaporware.
- lenkite 1y agoWow, I didn't know that Starlink was vaporware.
- robertlagrant 1y agoI need to stop paying for things with PayPal if it's just vaporware.
- FireBeyond 1y agoPayPal isn't his. Never was. He owned a company that merged with Confinity, which had already built a prototype of PayPal, registered trademarks, etc. at the time of merger. He was made CEO. For four months. Which he spent trying to throw out the prototype written in Java because he only knew ASP. Then the board fired him in absentia, the morning he left for his honeymoon. Not asked him to resign, not "focus on his family", but the moment he's gone, fired his ass. Musk's contribution to the non-vaporware PayPal is "cashing the dividend checks".
- 1123581321 1y agoWasn’t X and Confinity a 50-50 merger? Thiel and Levchin fired Musk, but they made up. Thiel bet on SpaceX later when it needed cash to reach its first successful launch.
