I’m sure he drew the first Cybertruck design, because no competent car designer would come up with an ugly monstrosity like that.
The old school MS-DOS gaming groups on Facebook all mocked it on how it looked like it was an early 90s PC racing game car rendered in real life. Plenty of other 90s gamers also made similar claims about how it resembled clunky primitive 3D graphics of the era.
Well thats not completely true, he personally helped design the Cybersuck
And it fucking shows
I hear its the fascist thing on wheels :3
According to some graffiti, that’s true!
I remember some article about SpaceX a while ago, where an engineer says that the work day grinds to a halt whenever Musk arrives at the factory because he wants them to work in a very specific way that isn’t actually conducive to being a rocket manufacturer, but which he thinks is how rocket manufacturers operate.
I have a feeling he designed the cyber truck and that’s why it sucks so hard
Nope, he didn’t do that either
Oof.
Yeah iirc, he boasted a bit about that and there’s alot of engineers that responded to various comments about design oversights saying most of it was musks design, it was designed how he wanted it the way he wanted it, agianst the advice of engineers. They saw some these problems miles away but that car specifically was musks baby, his personal magnum opus, his personal design.
Probably a reason them being vandalized hirts him even more, not only is he an arrogant petulant child, that really is “his” creation. Treats it more like his kid then any of his children which “died” to wokeness.
On an video done by common sense skeptic, he mentions that Teslas business plan was layed out by the original founders up until the launch of cybertruck. Indicating that Musks only major contribution was indeed the Cybertruck. He also has a couple of patents, one for the shape of the charger socket and the other one I can’t recall.
The other day I was talking about musk to my GF, Me: “Musk is such a poser, he buys successful gaming accounts and pretends to be a top gamer by claiming those achievements as his own” GF: “Well, yeah, that tracks. Isn’t that what he does with his companies?”.
Sounds like a keeper!
That’s not exactly a high bar to clear
Hahahahaha
never designed anything
i am convinced that he at least had a lot of say in the design of cybertruck. the sheer amount of design flaws on that thing is just too many to believe it was made by actual engineers without any input from a barely literate troglodyte.
Last year SpaceX received government subsidies totaling $10 million per day. Without government welfare he is worthless.
Of all the things that came from PayPal, musk and thiel being one of the worst things
Musk = POS Nazi.
Elon musk has a few patents. Nothing revolutionary and some not even related to his current venture. But his companies successes come down to his ability to promise completely unachievable goals.
This is exactly how Trump built himself up. As early as the 1970s when Trump was just starting to do his own ventures New York newspapers and editorials would jeer at him for being the biggest damn blowhard they ever saw. Someone who would promise the world and deliver nothing.
Yet this attitude worked… he managed to built a brand around himself as the successful businessman who, ironically, had no businesses successes. By the late 80s he was actively mocked by so much media it wasn’t funny. Everything from sesame street to the 87 TMNT cartoon to the infamous Back to the Future 2 portrayal. It didn’t stop there. It continued into the 90s with the villain in the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie being heavily based on Trump, as well as the villain in the 1994 movie Time Cop.
Everyone from playboy to a ton of other magazines. Despite all this he STILL managed to somehow maintain that image, and while it waned, the Apprentice somehow convinced people again that he was a business genius when he was the farthest thing from it.
He was not in isolation, of course. The libertarian movement had been growing and the idea that the US did not need a politician, but a businessman, as a president and that it needs to be run like a business and not a country had been building momentum for decades before his entry into politics.
If that movement didn’t exist Trump would still be a failed businessman and probably have been thrown in prison a long time ago.
Musk is a sleazy salesman. That’s all he is.
Perfect company for Trump.
A sleazy salesman who was built up by his dad as some kind of messiah.
I would argue Gwen Shotwell is to blame for spacex’s success. Tom Muller made the engine, which is no mean feat, but Gwen built the company.
Gwynne* Shotwell, but yea, she built the company.
I also spelt Mueller wrong. I’m not a rocket appliances.
So the Credit goes to Tom Muller, without engine you cannot go to space.
Didn’t he invent his college diploma? Heard something about that a while ago ;)I just looked it up, it does not look like he made his degree up, but there was an issue where he was going to get his Economics degree in 1995, but stayed an extra 2 years to dual major in physics, then claimed he got the physics degree in 1995 instead of 1997 in business deals. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/musk-physics-degree/
Thank you for actually fact checking it - I stand corrected!
Bringing down a superpower is pretty big. Something to brag about I guess.
He just happened to get lucky and invest in 3 of the most influential technology companies of the past decade despite basically the entire planet telling him it won’t be possible.
He just got lucky 🙄
This is a stupid fucking way to attack Elon. There are better ways to point out he’s a drug addicted criminal.
And also lucky to have been born in the right family.
Yes he had starter capitol. 200m being generous. His investments have outpaced the stock market by a magnitude of 25. More than that probably.
He is likely the most successful investor on the plant at the moment where he has out performed the richest of the rich.
The guy is a fuck face but this meme/argument that he was just lucky for 25 years on multiple live changing tech is silly. He might be bi polar but he clearly knows good tech and how to nurture a company.
No, he’s just rich. Being rich like that attracts money even if you’re an incompetent buffoon
See: the US president
Then why hasn’t everyone who started out with a couple hundred million grown it to over 300 billion? I mean, if it just happens naturally, even to incompetent buffoons, then why don’t we see more people with 12 figure net worth’s? There’s thousands of people that start off in life with access to millions, but less than 2 dozen people have a net worth of over 100 billion.
Gee, I guess there’s more to it than just simply being rich.
…You know what I hate? I hate how fucking idiotic people become when they talk about someone they don’t like. It’s like they don’t even stop to think if the insult they’re using makes any good damn sense. Musk is a deadbeat, drug addicted, Nazi piece of shit; but it’s a such a fucking brain dead take to try to claim he hasn’t accomplished anything in business.
Like, Michael Jordan is by all accounts a terrible person. There’s lots of things you could say about him, but saying Musk just lucked or coasted his way to the top is like saying Michael Jordan wasn’t good at basketball.
Do you not realize that dumbass statements like that actually make things worse? All the boot-licking tech bros who support Musk use opinions like yours as evidence that anyone who criticizes him is a smooth-brained idiot and then they dismiss the actual, legitimate criticisms.
I fucking hate this world. I’m getting to a point where I just wish everything would burn to the ground because everyone on both side of everything is just so fucking stupid. Idiot fascists are taking over everything and those on the other side just sound like whiny children because they’re too fucking stupid to realize that just because someone is bad, doesn’t mean literally ever bad quality can be attributed to them.
Then why hasn’t everyone who started out with a couple hundred million grown it to over 300 billion?
In case this is a serious question, the answer is that all bell curves have outliers.
Because he does pump and dump shit. He tried it with Twitter when he “offered” to buy it, but was forced to follow though this time.
When he tried to weasel out of the Twitter buy, I bought a bunch of stock because I knew he couldn’t get out of it and it was way over the valuation.
Musk being a dumb fucking shit head helped me make some good money. My only regret was not buying more.

People who defend him claim he’s a super genius who invented electric cars and space shuttles straight out of his balls, so it does make sense to call out the fact that he himself didn’t create any of these companies and he’s not the one doing any of the development, all he has is money, all he does is shout and put his X on other people’s things.
Where do you hang out all day? /r/conservative?
You need to escape your algo/bubble. Nobody argues he’s a in weeds engineer since SpaceX outside of engagement bait.
Y’all go in circles with each other and repeat this stuff far more often than you’ll find it in real life.
This is what capitalism gets you. You don’t get leaders who get where they are thanks to their hard work or that they’re better at what they do than others, you get entitled shitheads who never work a day in their lives and get everything handed to them, with zero work ethics and zero knowledge of how to do anything.
Dumb
Yeah, whn you shot-gun spray your investments, you’re bound to get lucky.
What about:
- Solar roof tiles
- Dumbass tunel
- Morons’ train in a tube
- Scam roadster and scam truck
- X as everything app nonsense
When you’re born into financial security, you can try dumb shit, and you’re bound to get lucky.
If you’re born into financial security and you’re a grifter/scammer - you’re bound to become a billionaire.
I was unaware successful people were not allowed any failure. I guess we’ll just ignore that and his objectively better performance than every other rich person 🤷♂️
Musk is stupid as fuck and has failed upwards his whole life due to being born rich. He’s basically a sentient bank account. If you had any professional experience in the areas Musk talks about you would see how fucking dumb he is.
Your assessment doesn’t really work if you look at his success compared to just about anyone. That includes much much richer fucks. I understand he has advantages but objectively he performs far better than his peers. He’s also accumulated quite a bit of policy power, again more than his peers.
Your assumptions are backwards. Its all probability and he is the luckiest of the rich dipshits. Its why he is so insecure, he hasn’t achieved much through merit. A smart person in his position would’ve fucked off already.
As “successful” as Elisabeth Holmes. She had “objectively the best performance than every other rich woman!”.
Honestly, you kids have your brains fried by these scam-artists. Your measure of “success” is so, so sad and pathetic.
My guy. He turned 200m into 305B. Definitely not successful. I’m quite brain washed I guess 🤣
Yes, you are.
You willingly ignore any argument in favour of “BUT VIRTUAL NUMBER BIG”.
That’s either being brainwashed or pure stupidity.
Name a single more successful investor in the past 40 years.
So the latter, huh.
My man here takes a minute to think and comes up with “BUT… BUT VIRTUAL NUMBER BIG” contra argument… Again.
