[witchzard]@emmreef @BobDevney "Elon Musk went from being the Henry Ford of our generation (admired carmaker, brilliant salesman) to being the Henry Ford of our generation (conspiracy theorist, Nazi-enabler)"
Karen E. Lund ππ@ics @emmreef @BobDevney I have recently been listening to a podcast about Musk and his many companies (and feuds) produced by Bloomberg. Worried it might be too much fanboy (and fangirl), but there's enough reporting to increase my distrust of him.

He gets far too much attention for that screwed up part of his personality. It's amazing what he achieves with SpaceX and the focus should be on that. Whatever he chews over is not interesting for most of us.

@SmartmanApps @Scubyw @emmreef Thanks! It wasn't actually a request for a ref - it is well known - but now I found that source. Yes, Tumblr.

ADHDeanASL@Scubyw Yeah, he gets far too much attention for being a fascist enabler.
CJ Paloma Likes Longer Daysβ¦and here you are...supporting a guy promoting naziism-
that gets you what I like to call an instablock.
Why Not Zoidberg? π¦@Scubyw @emmreef SpaceX is completely uninteresting for most people (also he only takes credit from his engineers anyway, he has never actually invented anything ever). Enabling and outright fighting to implement a fascist dictatorship in America is far more important. Plus the fact that he is a horrible person who hates his daughter for no reason for example.

jonathanpeterson@Scubyw @emmreef He gets far too much credit for successes of companies that he hardly pays attention to. Gwynne Shotwel and the engineers at SpaceX are the reason they've been successful (subsidized by billions of US government contracts). Musk is spending his attention on trolling his toy social media site.
nandi@emmreef I feel like money is kinda like a drug and when you hit billionaire it's like an overdose
airik@v also the drugs

Now let's be nice. Henry Ford actually founded a productive corporation, rather than buy up control and kick the founder(s) out the door and pretend they never existed.

ex or current IDF unwelcome@emmreef Is he building a town in Brazil? How about the Tesla Edsel?

Thebettingnoob@emmreef was the son of an Emerald Minor that highly thought of. The self made man nonsense he spits has always been as shallow as a puddle but still amazingly fooled people.
XerΓΈ@Rghsaint the son of an emerald miner from apartheid South Africa, you seemed to have left that part out.
@ecksearoh yeah my mistake adds to the overall scumbag nature of him
Apfel@emmreef I advise against quoting via pictures.
Musk never stood in the tradition of Ford.

Chip Warden@emmreef Sorry, no. Henry Ford was ALWAYS a shitbag. Elon Musk was ALWAYS a shitbag. The differences is at the beginning of the 20th century, it was difficult for the average person to find out what a shitbag Ford was. At the beginning of the 21st century, it was quite easy for the average person to find out what a shitbag Musk is. Two reasons: willing cluelessness and hero worship of the wealthy.
Jaime Robertson@lgw4 @emmreef Not that difficult when you own a newspaper with your antisemitic column, and require your dealerships to carry it.

AnomnomnomalyHe's always been a grifter, he's never invented anything, he's not even an 'idea' man. He's a self promoting wanker who used family wealth from his apartheid privilege to buy into companies and force the founders out so he could try and claim he founded them instead.
The only reason people thought he was good, was because there were PR depts putting out good stories about him... Once you were able to hear directly from his own mouth. It became clear to all what some already knew.
@emmreef In _Brave New World_ Ford was parodied as the centre of a weird cult with the letter 'T' as its' symbol whereas Elon runs a weird cult...
@emmreef With a large helping of Thomas Edisonβs profiting from others ideas, though Edison actually invented a few things himself, unlike Elon.
BrettThe actual bullseye given Elonβs trajectory, multiple unrelated businesses, drug abuse, and penchant for dating starlets, is Howard Hughes not Henry Ford.
Henry Ford at least paid his workers enough to buy the vehicles they were building.
His days will end with him alone in a mansion surrounded by jars of his own piss muttering βThe way of the futureβ over and over again until he mercifully strokes out or his kidneys fail from Ketamine abuse.
Π‘Π°ΡΠ° ΠΠΎΡΡ, here we go again...@emmreef c'mon be fair. Henry Ford actually accomplished some things outside of being a shitbag
