How is it that some people get 6B to understand the true nature of the universe? It’s not like they have a track record of doing anything other than absolutely devastating a previously successful company…

If I ask someone to give me 6B to understand the true nature of the universe they’d laugh in my face, but I sort of assume I’d have an even chance of doing better.

He's also transformed two industries and become a dominant player in each. Just do that and the investors will give you money.

Yeah, surely a better group of people to understand the universe would be, I don’t know, a team of Astro physicists whom didn’t buy a social media company so they could push their unfiltered opinions onto the masses. Just a hunch.

Agreed, Elon has failed at everything he’s attempted and is basically broke these days, along with his companies teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. People need to stop giving him money because all he does is lose it

I mean, other than SpaceX, which created the world’s most reliable rocket, and delivers more mass to orbit than anyone else. Dunno how anyone could consider that a failure.

I hope the parent comment had a heavy dose of sarcasm seeing as his net worth is $200B and Tesla is also doing well.

He has certainly made some bizarre choices running Twitter though.

[Aeolun]

Yeah, but I dunno. I get the feeling that Elon is one of those people that's really good at finding the right suckers to do the job. If he leaves them alone, things go well. If he doesn't. Twitter.
