IMHO, probably not; musk seems interested in his own finances, and on pitting people against minorities so that they don’t see him stealing from them.

I speak in metaphors, please forgive me. It wasn’t a literal garage, but when Tesla was a penny stock in 2010, compared to what Musk is doing now, it was a metaphorical garage. And he was metaphorically slapping them together. Nobody slaps a car together, they use tools, and owners of companies often aren’t involved with production, but I should have been more detailed
Edit: penny stocks don’t literally cost a penny, I better throw that in there, and that was also used comparatively
But the basic takeaway:
Elon has continued to impress himself with his ideas, possibly to the point that he is confident that he could come up with a solution later, which might make the threat feel less severe. That’s what I meant
Yeah, I get you
I just didn’t want to give him the credit, that he is the actual genius behind the companies, like he always wants to present himself
Because every time he talks about something, I at least know something about (like self-driving cars), I know, he is just talking shit and absolutely doesn’t know what the fuck he is talking about.
So the sentence, that he, like he himself, slaps together cars, was the drop that brought me to that answer.
Wasn’t really against you, I just don’t want to promote his wanted image of a genius inventor
Yeah, he’s flaky as hell, his word means nothing, he bites off more than he can chew, he cannot control his whims, he thinks his knowledge in one field transfers to things he has no business speaking about, his overarching need to seek validation compels him to interject himself into scenarios in which he can attempt to be a hero (and when he doesn’t he throws tantrums), and he’s nonchalant about all of it.
If you’re looking for someone to be concerned about something he has no answer for but also shrug it off like “I can handle it later” he’s just the clown for that
Well, he is just deeply narcissistic and looks for validation, like you say.
I don’t know, if there will ever be a moment, that he thinks he’s successful enough to earn love.
But he is also an adult. And even though he has his emotional problems, he is a very shitty parent to his trans child. And just forwarding all the hate, because he can’t handle his feelings isn’t acceptable.
He still has a shitload of money and just with that enough power to move things.
Which is dangerous, when he can influence geo politics that much - see StarLink in war or near war scenarios, and just recently the US election.
I actually would really like to know, why he is feeling so insecure and needs all this validation, and with what success he would say, that’s it, now I’m fine.
He wasn’t slapping them together even metaphorically. He injected huge amounts of cash that enabled the capable people to do their jobs and which allowed the company to grow. Imagine your job getting a huge donation from someone and then that person went around acting like they were sitting in the cubicle next to yours the whole time and even claimed some of your ideas were theirs.
That’s it. He is a coinpurse that also happens to shout insane racist things on Twitter. Elon Musk is fucking dough-brained moron and one of the big problems with capitalism is how much having money makes it harder and harder to lose the more you have.
Well I’m glad I gave you an opportunity to soapbox. That tangeant added to the discussion
