    And yet, he is unable to raise a family that respects him and stays together.

    Classic scenario. The American liberal puts up an awful argument, gets absolutely demolished, then moves the goalpost with an absurd non-sequitur.

    Honestly I don't know how some of you guys earn a living. If someone brings such weak logic and debate skills into my office they'd be put on the replacement path very quickly.

    Let's throw ideology, religious belief out of the window for a second.

    Animal males are programmed by nature to spread their seeds, that is how it was and still is, now we have been ensnared to societal rules, morality, law, family and cultural values.....

    Rich men do whatever they like more than any other guy. Women are mostly trophies to them.

    Do I like it, perhaps not, but I am not losing sleep over it.

    That is accurate in many cases but not an excuse for any of them. There are wealthy males that manage to be decent parts of a family.

    If someone is a lousy human, they are a lousy human.

    Yeah honestly I think it's way weirder that he chose to invent a badly disguised internet alter ego and then get insulted by a bunch of 20 year olds playing fortnite on twitch for an hour last night

    That's just someone who is dead inside & trying to feel something

    A modern day Edison. He cracks the whip and takes the credit and money. It’s funny that the company that he’s famous for is named after an actual genius inventor who died broke.

    Ugh. The more Elon lets his actual personality leaks out into the real world, the more I think he Forrest Gump’d his way through life. Lieutenant Dan lets build an internet payment company.

    No...he didn't.
    He founded SpaceX, but he didn't design any of their Rockets.
    Telsa most popular vehicles were designed by others, Musk had little input on those designs. Musk had a big hand in the CyberTruck, which is the BIGGEST piece of **** in the last 10 years.
    Co-Founded OpenAI...he had NOTHING to do with their progress in AI.

    Your opinion is just so uniformed and ignorant. The logic is blurred by your emotional hatred for him.

    In addition to being an amazing innovator, and leader, he's also a great investor. Musk didn't become the world's richest man by being a dope -- the guy is a genius and world class businessman.

    The cognitive dissonance is bizarre.

    Elon Musk is the biggest fraud who didn't design anything but instead grifts off the talent of other.
    The best and brightest stupidly line up to work for him as slaves instead of working for others with better pay and quality of life.

    Demolished..

    Basic capitalism brainrot. Al Gore "inventing" the internet wouldn't be a joke meme if we treated public sector projects like private capital endeavors. In the public sector the actual engineers and scientists are credited. If we treated the invention of the lithium ion battery which was publicly funded like capital, John B Goodenough would just be a employee and the politician or college bureaucrat admin person who greenlit the funding would be the famous individual. Think of CEOs are bureaucrats. They could be zapped out of existence and innovation would probably thrive more.

    "Inventing" requires coming up with the idea, testing it, raising money, finding customers, persuading customers, building out operations, building out supply chain, building out an organization to process the future orders and manage people, regulations, accounting, legal, IT, etc.... You seem to think the idea guy gets all the credit. You obviously don't have much business experience.

    So is that how quantum mechanics were discovered? You know the field of science that is literally the basis of our modern microprocessor semiconductor world?

    Those steps you refer to are steps to maximize exploitation and extract as much wealth from talented people as possible. Not innovation.

    His preferred political outcome is in power, not shrewd to force the negativity down people’s throats

    Best and brightest are spread out, not just working under Elon.

    Elon is a visionary, but he intentionally picked industries with major government backing and had an era of cheap money.

    People just hate this BS libertarian, boy genius he has crafted. It’s just so fake

    Edison definitely had more engineering education and expertise than Musk. Musk's understanding of things like physics and mechanical engineering are that of the level of a somewhat lazy guy who barely passed their mechanical engineering bachelors with like a 2.5 gpa. No where close to the level of knowledge and intellectual curiosity to design ground breaking things.
