He's a needy, attention seeking dipshit who claims other people's work as his own. He's not a genius, at best he's a venture capitalist in a way.... Only difference is that he buys the companies instead of investing for a smaller stake in them.

There's a lot more to how I feel about him.. I'll just sayI hope he goes to mars and never makes it back. Hope he takes Zuckerberg with him.
He's made most of his money pumping and dumping crypto. He talks about one , dumps money into it ,, fools watch what he does .. do the same .. he watches the price sky rocket and sells his off.

Classic.

Dude is a sack of mayonaise with legs :ROFLMAO: you're a billionaire .. you have access to the best of the best on the planet ... and you look like that ?

Only reason he's got what 8 kids is the money ,, who would let this breed them ?

An why is he directly staring at this guys weiner ... 😳

I used to think he was a pretty smart guy until he kept opening his mouth publicly and saying stupid, immature things on a regular basis.

I don't get the idolization of rich people and politicians. It obviously happens a lot in this country, but I don't *think* I do it.

I'm trying to think of a public figure I really look up to, and no one comes to mind.

There are people in real life I know that I look up to and have been great influences on me, but I actually know these people pretty well, their persona is not just based on what the media has shown me.

There's a lot of stuff that has been said about Musk in the media that paints a very negative light on him in my view, but I also don't put much weight into those things because I don't know how much of it is actually true.

So I just go by his own words. Here's my vote 👎

So you're saying Teslas are shitty vehicles?
I own one… they have weak thin ass paint, and the suspension is shit… cracked control arms a lot, and ride like fucken trash… my old ford 250 rides smoother… other than only paying around 3500 a year for charging… its not worth it… i can travel further with less “tracking” and computers, in an ice vehicle…

I think their battery and fast charging technology is good, but the build quality of Teslas are kind of shit IMO.

Plus they haven't changed their look since they came out. Used to look "cool", but now looks dated compared to other EVs.

Yep, build quality is shit.

I only have one PHEV; a Chevy Volt. Only get about 50 miles per charge, but for putting around town it's great. Most of my treks are very short distances , so this car gets used A LOT. Charging at home is super cheap and fast (because smaller battery), and the build quality is pretty decent for being a chevy. I also like the fact that it has buttons instead of insisting everything is done via touch screen.

My other cars are a Ford fusion titanium hybrid (love this car, and I was not expecting that... More luxury than I ever imagined it would be), Audi S4, older mustang cobra, and my trusty GMC Sierra truck.

I don't care about him as an individual, but the things he's been able to accomplish are monumental.

Almost every industry he's been successful in are known to be punitive to up-and-comers. Banking. Vehicles. Fuck, he even did space.

IDC what your opinion of him us, that shit is impressive.

Actually, it was tech startup after tech startup that all wound up be sold to mega corps and him becoming a huge shareholder in all of them. Zip sold to Compaq, he helped found Paypal, sold it to eBay, started SpaceX, that funded Tesla, crypto was long after he was a billionaire.
