I watched these 3 videos today and found myself intrigued by this guy. I have no idea if he's full of sh*t, a scam artist, or a genius, but I found myself interested in what he has to say. What do you guys think?
Like him or hate him, Musk is a catalyst for technological growth. The fact that he successfully used other people's money to fund his companies only speaks to how intelligent he is. If I had the means, I would buy a Tesla today.
Think about it... based on your meme you could drive a car that essentially runs on coal. A republican's dream come true!
If he scammed the government--pure genius. If he scammed americans while they drooled over football players and baseball players, even more pure genius. As per usual, genius ALWAYS get attacked in America. Pure envy, nothing more. When Salk immunized kids against polio, he was considered an arrogant medical genius. Americans hated what he was doing to kids (making them cry). When is the last time you morons saw a case of polio hobbling around? It could be the same in other countries, but I can only testify to the "American Experience".
It's called the Tall Poppy Syndrome in Australia. Anyone who stands out figuratively taller than the herd, they try to cut them down.
And so, we wonder why socialism is taking root everywhere?? Do not excel, or you are doomed to be an outcast.... Pretty sad, actually.
Is this something we can verify with public records somehow? I'm asking because I have no clue how this stuff works. It seems to me if you borrow money from the Government AKA the American People, that we would have the ability to verify such a claim. He has said it on camera multiple times and nobody from the Government has contradicted him as far as I know. I would like to know the truth on this.
I think he took advantage of a window of opportunity. I also think that he spread his entrepreneurialism waaaay too thin. He had a bunch of eggs spread around and may no longer have enough for the proverbial omelette. but if even one single project (Tesla, SpaceX, battery power plants) winds up being successful, then he wins.
Or Trump is a big fan and has endorsed private sector individuals like Musk and other rich guys investing in space exploration rather than our government paying for it all. Musk also praised Trump's idea of the Space Force.
