4realzFive People Founded Tesla, But Only Elon Musk Became Extremely Rich
Mush didn't found Tesla. He bought it later and put in the contract that he was able to call himself a founder
Exactly, but “technically” he is credited as a founder. He’s a really good business man.
He isn’t a “really good business man”, everything he’s made is built on a foundation of lies. Eventually, it’ll collapse or be saved by socialised systems for being too big to fail. Musk is a con man, not a businessman. He’s just made a living out of conning investors and the public alike.
I don't know, it sounds like the definition of a business man.
True.
helenslunchHe isn’t a “really good business man”
I find it absolutely hilarious that literally anyone thinks one of the wealthiest people in the world “isn’t a good business man”. Like how completely proposterous is that?
It just speaks the the absolute bias of people who don’t like him and can’t possibly say anything that might be poorly construed as positive.
I think that the criticism is that our system does not raise the smartest or the best to the top.
Being credited as something doesn’t mean you are that something. My ex credited me for having a big penis.
Elon is not a founder of Tesla, no matter what any documents say. Calling him such when you know he isn’t makes you a liar, a fool or a co-conspirator.
Now I am laughing because I am imagining you working the big penis anecdote into every comment and conversation.
That would be a funny bit.
twist: Plopp is the penis' account.
DarkGamerI think the whole Twitter debacle has disproven that he's a good businessman. Rather, it highlights how far one can get by having heritable wealth and being in the right place at the right time.
He’s successful in spite of himself. He makes terrible decisions constantly.
I guess when you have enough money you get to try enough times that you accidentally make good choices sometimes. Or people just think he’s smart because he’s rich.
Chaotic EntropyHe seems like the avatar of the concept that rich people are not allowed to fail in society, no matter how hard they try. Once you reach a certain size, there will always be an army of people around them to hold them up. You just sit at the top and everyone under you needs you to succeed otherwise they’re also fucked.
Musk is too big to fail.
