The musk haters tend to be some of saddest sacks of bitterness. He’s the champion of multi planetary human existence, electric cars, renewable energy. All universally good things. Yet you hate him because…

Avarice isn't intelligence. The alt-right always fails to understand this.

If he was intelligent, none of us would have ever heard of him. For a person supposedly critical of media, you're awfully vulnerable to billionare propaganda.

I simply passed on a doctor’s mention looking out for her but her knee jerk reaction was to include press.

Chloe, I gave you the benefit of the doubt / repeatedly offered to have conversations to better learn about your experiences / perspective. You’ve your real purpose abundantly clear when you tag press secs who spread hate and lies rather than engaging with doctors

-It is interesting how Chloe Cole said:“I condemn any/all violence,” But in her next sentence she echoed what LIbsofTikTok, The Proud Boys, Gov. Ron DeSantis state.

-Chloe Cole frequently tweets at and is retweeted by staffers in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office.

-She tags Democratic opponents of their Republican boss and denounces Medicaid coverage for gender-affirming care, which the DeSantis administration has banned. Which is interesting, since her Kaiser medical coverage reportedly paid for her own medical transition, including her surgery.

No he isn't. His employees are. He was a good entrepreneur though. Or at least one of the small subset of pathological risk-takers who made it far enough to mostly be insulated from being completely destroyed by his own decisions.

Not a fan of Elon, but his degrees were in physics and mathematics, two of the hardest majors, and he was heavily involved in both the design and management of his engineering teams at both SpaceX and Tesla. He also knows several programming languages even though coding isn't his job.

Pure delusion and cope.

It’s okay to give credit to others, this world isn’t a zero sum game.

He’s a genius, you’re inability to see this highlights your world view of spite and envy.

If his employees posses better knowledge of how to actually do the things he does, they'd be him. Yes elon doesn't personally build every single rocket engine he ends up using, because that would be completely impossible. He understands the principles that make the entire enterprise function, and he has about a billion times more specific technical knowledge about his own products than most ceo's will ever have about theirs.

Also nobody had any problem with elon and would frequently venerate him until he said like one slightly off-script thing about some dumb leftist sacred cow, because the left is nothing if not myopically tribal.

Undergrad degrees in physics and mathematics are not something special. They are undergrad. His involvement in the production side was primarily with personnel and process improvement; the design part was "make it look like this", "make it open like this".

I'm not disputing that he is very bright, I'm sure he is. But he is not "the champion of multi planetary human existence, electric cars, renewable energy." lol. Somehow he's the champion of multi planetary human existence when we're no closer to a human going to Mars. Talking about something doesn't make you the champion of it.

Comical that evangelicals seem to be Musk-bros now. I guess something about being a loud-mouthed serial philanderer is appealing to the Christian crowd. In spite of the guy being an atheist and "99% sure we live in a simulation".

Look at this Champion of Multi Planetary Human Existence living a monumentally cringe-worthy life with a gold-digger to despises him. The whole thing is gold but the bit at 1:12 is maximum cringe. Not even the champion of his own relationships. When is living an ethical life going to matter to Christians?
