    Is it your position that Musk is a net negative on the world?

    That’s the rub, the “left” in this case are a few weirdos on Twitter. Whereas the views he lists as the “right” are commonly held by people in government.

    Consider me equally impressed or maybe like 1% less impressed if he started with $10m from his dad and did what he did versus starting with $0 and did what he did.

    I'm not going to waste my time putting together an argument when you've clearly already made up your mind on the guy. there's plenty of information out there, even in this thread already. if you're really interested you can find it yourself.

    I’ll be honest. I use Twitter to publicly bash Buffalo Wild Wings for taking away the Hot BBQ sauce and to see which WVU football players have entered the transfer portal today.

    can somebody explain the bigger picture to me?

    Very much a town square for luminaries in politics and finance...alot of people curate their news and information through Twitter. DJT won the Presidency wielding it's influence (this is very bad before anyone hyperventilates)

    Strawman much. No one itt has offered even a hint of evidence that Musk had any money from his dad. If he did, and let’s call it $10m, the dismissal of literally everything he did after is ridiculous. I’d venture a guess that the majority of this board wouldn’t work a day in their life if they had $10m, let alone do what Musk did. To say nothing of what he did after having $180m from PayPal.

    $0. Thanks for asking though.

    Probably stands out in my mind as the clearest point when I went from thinking he was kind of maybe helping the world while being a rich piece of shit to just an absolute piece of shit who is only concerned about his ego.

    yeah i mean doing those things are definitely difficult

    knowing that your decisions affect thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousand of employees/subsidiaries and other people connected to your business is also hard.

    both things can be true even though dumbasses like lytch dont think so
