It is hip on Twitter to say he just bought it all (with daddy’s money is even better to note) and knows nothing. As in: without getting free money he cannot succeed, only break. Link to an image of collapsing Tesla price.
It’s boring; chatgpt is great or skynet and either Musk is god or Musk is worthless is most of my Twitter timeline.
I don't know how rich Musk's dad is, but even if he was a billionaire, turning a billion into combined $1T+ marketcap companies is an incredible achievement.
Algorithmic dragnets running over all communications technology, every human carrying a microphone everywhere that they don't have control over, and walking killer robots sound very much like Skynet. The big difference is that it won't be run by an overarching AI, but by the grandchildren of the people who own everything now.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Let’s see how many of those are around when we actually go through a full business cycle. No company started since 2003 has really been through a real downturn. 2007/2008 was limited in its blast radius and the fed just threw money everywhere…
So 20 years for Tesla and 21 years for SpaceX is a sprint? What amount of time is a marathon? Facebook was founded in 2004, Google in 1998, are they still just sprinting?
how about when Tesla can survive off of the margins from ops without growth and without bilking its customer for vapor ware?
How about when they come out with a new body and chassis? When they go through a re-tooling cycle or two?
And again, let’s seem then make it through a full business cycle, because again, no company founded since 2001 knows that it’s like to run a company in a no growth or shrinking economy…
What is your definition for a "full business cycle"? Specifically the length? If you are going to define it as "I know it when I see it" then there's no room for a conversation here.
It’s boring; chatgpt is great or skynet and either Musk is god or Musk is worthless is most of my Twitter timeline.
