If he had no fame, skills, or money, he'd probably be the same guy but without those things

His voice and tone sound humble

He accused someone of being a peadophile with 0 evidence and used his money to get away with it.

If Elon can get an electric car down to proletariat prices, then I'll be impressed.
Until then, meh.

Maybe I'm just jaded but I really don't see how earning a bachelors degree, getting money to start companies, throwing that money at various ideas, ousting a group from a company that you didn't start but now use as your public face, constantly memeing online (before the coronavirus shitposting started) while claiming to have some hardcore work schedule that you guilt your employees into adopting, and then taking credit for their accomplishments that you probably couldn't even begin to do yourself if your life depended on it is some sign of intelligence that should be appreciated

The CEman with money comment sounds accurate. Futurists were a thing long before Elon hopped on the scene, except a good number of them actually had the academic credentials to back up what they said instead of only repeating "I watched Terminator so we gotta watch out for evil AI, oh yeah we gotta do non fossiil fuel cars and spaceships" at every public event

Was ambivalent towards him until he called that diver a pedophile simply because he called Elon's idea stupid. Then I started disliking him.

Pedo comments are valid because of the age difference between the diver and his girlfriend. He's 60 something and she's 40 :shock:

What exactly do you mean here?

"Committers" of apartheid? What does it mean to commit apartheid?

Because my parents lived in SA back then and they weren't "committers of apartheid"

IDK much about Musk, I'd wager he probably benefited from apartheid but "committing apartheid" sounds like something that involves malice

I have no qualms with the guy, so I see no reason to froth at the mouth like some users here pretend to do.

Also, calling him an idiot, being as successful as he is is downright hilarious.

Earlier this week he renewed his baseless attack by telling a reporter to stop defending "child rapists" and claimed Unsworth had moved to Thailand for a "child bride who was about 12 years old at the time".
Unsworth's girlfriend, Woranan Ratrawiphukkun, 40, yesterday said she was "no child bride". She met him seven years ago, when she would have been at least 32.

For comparison, Grimes is 32 right now

Although he has been kind of dickish lately, his pros still outweigh his cons. There are plenty of rich business pricks out there who don't do shit to make improvements or innovations. Many even actively invest in making the world a worse place to live, for the sole purpose of enriching themselves.

While one can speculate Elon enjoys being rich, he has made impressive contributions to society over the past few decades, and still attempts to continue to do so. Unjustly calling someone a pedo and being dismissive of the corona crisis does make him come off as ignorant about these things, but imo it does not undo nor outweigh his other deeds.

He's got a savior complex, and the emotional stability of a CEman. He treats his people like shit.

"But he smart and have da money!" Ok, and? Guess that makes you an expert on literally everything and worthy of praise?
