Paypal is in no way a Musk creation, no one makes that claim and in fact they got rid of him quite quickly.
X has plummeted in value, and is worth a fraction of what he paid for it? How is this "pulling it off" by shrinking the user base, revenue, etc? While we don't have publicly audited figures, they announced a net loss for the first three quarters of 2025, while it posted profits prior to his purchase.
FSD isn't even real? Why would you cite a feature that doesn't actually exist as an example of "Elon pulling it off"? He promised FSD would be available over a decade ago, and it's still not real.
> How many examples does it take before people start taking the guy seriously?
I'd personally settle for real examples, and not the false ones cited above.

He said he acquired Twitter "for political purposes, because Trump was banned, so he wanted a platform where never banned." Do you think a biggest capitalist would lose money on something like that? While this reason sounds very "American values"—too American values, like spending billions of dollars to make a movie—so it's probably not. If we analyze it from a Chinese values perspective(Musk is very familiar with China and is also part of Epstein Class; he couldn't possibly be unaware of this. And is it because of his relationship with China that he has access to Chinese channels that are even more Epstein-like than Epstein's, thus making him look down on Epstein's resources? It's quite possible.), given Musk's penchant for having children, he might be got his eyes at the dating resources on Twitter (since Twitter is essentially a one-night stand,compensated dating and prostitution app). By buy Twitter,can make he could gain access to all the personal data on dating services.
