The Myth Of Elon Musk
Вставка

- Elon Musk is one of the most powerful people in the world right now. He is the richest human on the planet. A willingness to publicly engage and huge entrepreneurial success have created a billionaire celebrity, with fans and detractors alike. Here, in brief, is at least some of his story- and myth.
People born with a silverspoon in their mouth are so obsessed with pretending they are selfmade even though they had so much benefit from rich parents. Not just money but also contacts, friendships with other silverspoons and so on.
Gates tried to do the same.
Who cares?
Hasn't Musk done a lot with what he has? I would say that humanity is better for his efforts.
@@_DixonCider A lot for himself and most of it stolen, or subsidised.
@@thursoberwick1948 . He didn't put that money in his back pocket, it went to pay employees, research, advancement, venture capital etc. You'll have to provide proof of the "most of it stolen" statement.
You would have to be a simpleton to think he's just twirling his mustache and keeping the money for himself.
@@_DixonCider Most of it did go in his back pocket, which is why he is the richest man in the world. The man who founded Paypal never got the same amount of money, nor did the US tax paypayer who has helped fund and supply his electric car and space projects.
Musk is like someone who got an executive producer credit on a film for investing a bit of money in it, but then talks about it as though he wrote, directed, and edited the entire thing.
The hell are you on about?
@@mariotaz musk bot engaged to derail the topic ^
That is a really good analogy actually lmao
I buy the cake mix, you mix it with ingredients, someone else cooks it, someone else applys the icing.
Who made the cake?
Me, I am the genesis of the whole thing without me there would be no cake.
@@linkeddevices Yes. I am a Musk BOT. I care so much about the worlds richest and famous man that he needed me, some random guy who he doesn't even know exists to defend him in a single UA-cam comment section of a random arse video.
I REALLY hope he(Musk) sees this and realises that I am a devoted loyal bot.
It couldn't possibly the that a creator on UA-cam who's content I generally enjoy may have actually created a pretty shitty video on a public figure that I do actually think is pretty cool, but(!), That I am here to defend such a person. George didn't make a bad video with baseless points and headline slamming in our face via the video like a sensationalist newspaper that the masses(you guys) gobble it up withiut question oh nononono. UA-camrs are infallible. They never do such a thing....no UA-camr has ever made a single bad video on their entire UA-camr career amongst generally good videos....I'm a bot.
/Clearly fucking sarcastic.
It's ludicrous how many people are convinced he's some kind of real-life Tony Stark and is going to lead us into a Star Trek future when the reality is most likely Blade Runner.
Well, he certainly has Tony's asshole behavior down.
Blade Runner or Mad Max?
@@nagualdesign I prefer *_the Road_*
The future is more like Planet of the Apes tbh
Also Elysium
Musk and Bezos, being 2 of the wealthiest people, are indicative of the state of our society. Bezos' wealth exposes our predisposition with consumption and Musk's wealth shows our inability to think critically.
@@topdog5252 I do agree. At the heart of the corruption of the financial system is the corruption of the monetary system.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Elon Musk. His business strategy is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of IEOR most of his companies will go over a typical analyst's head.
There's also Elon's futuristic outlook, which is deftly woven into his enterprises - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Libertarian literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these ventures, to realize that they're not just profitable- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Elon Musk truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the genius in Elon's existencial catchphrase "I could either watch it happen or be a part of it," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons.
I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Elon Musk's genius unfolds itself on their SpaceX launch streams. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Tesla tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
@alpha omega In fact, the wealth of both shows out inability to organize society along the lines of democratic socialism or, at the least, tax the rich the way they were taxed in the 1940s and 1950s.
Absolutely
@@MuantanamoMobile To gain the world but lose your soul. Elon will be proven to be another common garden variety rip-off. You sound like a giddy school girl with a crush 😉
"I sleep on the floor so I can experience worse than what my workers' situation is"
Yeah, not really the same when your bank account is exploding. Having peace of mind is priceless. It's like the 'activists' who sleep outside for a week to 'experience' homelessness and think they're heroes for it.
Back at the turn of the century I was homeless for 18 months. Don't have a problem with activists doing it, but a week is nothing. Let them do it for a month and in winter, and only then I'll give them a nod of the head.
His bank account wasn't exactly exploding after SpaceX blew the 3rd rocket up und Tesla was 2 weeks away from bankruptcy. Maybe reading the Biography paints a more accurate picture of him.
In my circle, we call that _"misery tourism"_ ; you can subject yourself to poverty, Musk, but you'll never truly experience how soul-crushing it can be, because you have an escape that most people don't have.
@@straightfacts5352 there was a Japanese artist who deliberately lived in the streets of New York for a full 365 days, can't remember his name

Gotta love that quote: 'It's easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.' People are in such need for hero worship, that they blindly follow people like Musk when I wish they would just work on themselves.
I'm find with hero worship, so long as the heroes are deserving of it.
Unfortunately, hero worship usually centers around douchebags like Musk, Trump, and attractive musicians.
Musk is a Confidence Man & Sociopath, and since I have a non-blood relative who is one too, I know the type...

There is a great book from the 1990s called "The Honda Myth". It's a good book about how Honda Motor made its founder Soichiro Honda, to be some genius, that created a scrappy, clever startup. Only, none of it was true. I read that book many years ago, and the rise of Tesla and Musk very much reminds me of this thing at Honda, except on a much bigger scale. I find it strange that so many people need a hero to believe in, an illusion. Be your own hero.
Hondas are still immortal tho. Second to Toyota. But hondas do more vroom vroom on average.
@@misterjoey3384
I was just going to say, I think Honda has had a much larger impact on the automotive industry than Tesla, especially during the 20th and early 21st centuries.
I mean, my 1992 Rover 216 GTi was powered by the V-Tech engine, the Proton Persona I drove for work in the 2000s was essentially 70% Honda (and Lotus) engineering components, and then there is the infamous ASIMO robot from 2000... Yeah, what Tesla has done for the EV and space travel is significant, but I'd argue Honda have contributed far more to transport, electronics and engineering overall this past century.
Honda is a great company. But it's success isn't due to a founder-genius. There is a belief that the engineer Takeo Fukui was silently responsible for most Honda innovations. I'm sure behind Musk are many engineers putting in hours.
@@residentelect Not sure who told you the Persona had anything to do with Honda, the car was based on a Mitsubishi Lancer.
Right off the bat this is just crap. HIs father was an engineer at an mining company where the higher executives were rewarded in shares and stocks. His father didn't own the company or part of an emerald mine. This has all been public record. Playing jackass semantic games or just not understand how business works is what the first 5 minutes were and it's rather shitty to do.
Also elon fired that engineer for fucking up a machine which was releasing toxic fumes into the plant and trying to hide he fucked up. The guy was poisoning the workers. You can even see the interview of the guy talking about it making the bullshit up then can read the actual recount and see the actual video of it somewhere they had to have ready because of the bullshit lawsuit the guy was trying to press for wrongful termination.
But hey, engineer releases toxic fumes inside of a car plant then tries to hide and elon fired him on the spot, man that elon is a big meanie.
I am gonna disagree with the "Elon isn't evil" comment. Evil isn't just moustache twirling. Its all the awful shit he condones/benefits from when it comes to terrible wages, harassing detractors, horrifying working conditions, and the perpetuation of an economic system that is actively killing the planet. If you pull yourself back and try to ignore all those feelings of "normalcy" that has been deeply set in societies across the world, you come to realize how truly fucked we all are because around 10,000 people in the last 200 years decided unchecked greed was the best choice. Now we are fully experiencing the consequences of these people's actions and it will likely be too late for any of them to suffer with us.
EXACTLY!
It's most unfortunate fully global neo-Feudalism is the new ordeal instead of universal system of free market economics instead of plutocracy seeking to enslave humanity to the plan of a most old prophetic legend born out of ancient Babylon ruled by a diabolically evil tyrannical king who had a royal blue gate with gold lions invoking great power. It is reconstructed in Berlin's Pergamon museum as the Ishtar Gate juxtaposed to the construct of Athenian democracy attempt to allow self determined free will of the people which has been usurped by plutocrat tyrants each and every time an attempt of the great big idea that originally defined America instead of a place and currency of imperialist plutocrats forming the fully global cabal of the 21st century dystopia.
Musk has watched a bunch of bio-pics of rich respected people (Steve Jobs etc) and wants to be remembered like them. So he is doing a "self-start" bingo.

No; you are a billionaire because you invested in successful companies. You are not John Carmack.
None of the companies he invested in were even remotely successful
Lol nailed it. He studied them.
It really hits home when you start to think about all the poor people in 3rd world countries, both children and adults that massive companies regularly exploit for their profits. So much of consumer culture relies on never questioning where anything comes from or how it was made. I wish these companies could at least stop pretending that they're in it to help people. The idea of them or their frontmen being 'relatable' is unsettling.
because you care so much...

They haven't progressed much since Europe left 60 years ago. That's not an opinion, it's an uncomfortable reality.
Thank your American politicians for creating this situation.
It's like "lol he smoked weed publicly once so he must be on the level!!!!" I'm convinced that's one of the main reasons why people like him, it's nothing to do with his apparent inventions and success, it's all to do with how he presents himself as just some guy, he doesn't wear corporate suits, he's flamboyant and different (in appearance) from the stereotype of a heartless billionaire so people think that makes him down to earth.
yes, that was a manipulative stunt.
I worked with a guy that was just the most naturally gifted narcissist sociopath I've ever met. Amongst his many talents for manipulation was a constant habit of putting himself into carefully chosen "difficult situations" and then going on and on about how hard he struggled through it for years and years afterward. At first it was like "Wow, that's tough. Good job." After a couple years it seemed suspicious, and after several it was just fucking nauseating watching him shop for the right situation to get into the middle of and then complain endlessly about how tough he had it, while people that hadn't already had the benefit of listening to YEARS of this bullshit were like "Oh wow you poor guy, you're so GREAT."
I see the exact same patterns in Musk. I think his main motivator in life is being seen as great, and I think no amount of being that person will ever be enough, just like that guy I worked with. Up and up that ladder and still crushing people underfoot and using what they worked for to make himself look _AMAZING,_ and it's never ever enough.
Think about this: When he's busy touting his latest innovation, are you ever in doubt that it's HIS innovation? Does he ever go out of his way to make it plain that HIS innovations are the result of hundreds, thousands of people working tirelessly to make these things a reality? Or do you always feel like it's his personal work because that's the image he's putting out there? This is a very Thomas Edison approach to success, NOT a Nikola Tesla approach.
You are full of crap and need to wipe it clean. Tesla is a company that is producing $20 billion per year in revenue, is generating free cash flow and has about $20 billion cash on hand.
@@bighands69 So? Is material gain now the meter for morality? Explains a lot about the state of this world.

Spot on. Musk is the modern Edison.
@@bighands69 ? How is money anything to do with whether he is a good person. I think you have been brainwashed.
"pretoria" sound exactly like "land of the praetor". I am South African, I live in a dystopian fascist nightmare. My father was an architect, the kind of guy musk's dad would hire. My dad was murdered for trying to build a hospital in a poor area for a reasonable price.
Sorry to hear such terribile thing . It must have been devastating for you and your family. I hope justice served your father and the responsable ones rot in prison.

Fun fact: Elon never said his father owned an emerald mine like this video claims.
@@faithhopelove7777777 Nope. He didn't. But give me the time stamp to prove me wrong if you like.
@@nth7273 4:24 this is it from 2009, the fact you're saying this Nonsense Multiple times is weird and shows how you're just trying to push a narrative
The fact that he made those comments about the "workers" in his factory in China in a public forum really says it all.
But Musk has a point though. If you look as labor only as 'organic machinery' you will worry about the productivity of the machinery and how much 'down time' the US versions have. If you look at them as people that's a different thing altogether.
This kind of speak is dehumanising and desensitised to say the least.
Whomever may look at a person as 'Organic Machinery' and make decisions based on that definition still does not change at all that people, a group of individuals, human beings - if you will, are the subject.
And as a wise person once said about 'If' ; "If your Aunt had balls, she'd be your Uncle"
I know you yourself haven't said this but I am just responding to your mentioning it.
@@jackkraken3888 You're a hayseed.

@@nth7273 Did you not see those articles the video showed?
Elon has been backtracking on all his environmentalism claims. He has said in interviews that he doesn't think climate change will be as bad as scientists are predicting. He's very anti-public transportation even though improving public transit systems and city planning to get more people to ride buses, trains, ride bikes, and walk will reduce CO2 emissions more than switching all cars to electric. Plus it would have the added advantage of reducing the obesity rate.
He commits to buying Twitter, then backtracks and says the purchase it's on hold when he's legally committing to buying the company. I'm getting the impression he's without principles and people celebrate his doublespeak. You can't be wrong if you have both opinions at once.
@@Edax_Royeaux He's a narcissistic snake oil salesman, and little more.
“Public transportation” is a great way to control the population.
And we know exactly why he is against puplic transport: It could hurt tesla car sales. As he is rich he propably doesn't fully understand why you would need that anyway, because he can just drive or be driven anywhere he likes.
@@JoJoJoker it's also a great way for people to get around town when they don't have the money for a car.
also, musk is not a scientist, he has a degree in buiseness and a TEACHING degree in physics, which helps to understand this stuff, but is NOT a scientific or a "real" physics/engineering degree (not saying those degrees are worthless, but they are for teaching, not for scientific research and expanding the field).
what he is really good in is, hirering good scientists and taking credit for their work and firing them if something gives bad press
Because he is the CEO, if people doesn't want to be fired try to be CEO and make their own company.

Today, degrees are meaningless. People just buy them for bribes way too often. Just a bureaucratic endorsement. Today you must prove yourself on the free market. Say what you want about Musk but he did exactly that, he's the best proven scientist/engineer of our time.
His dad also bought him a 10 bedroom house in Canada for him at University when musk claims he got nothing
Wealthy people do this; they buy a house and have their kid pay rent. After college is up, the kid learned how to pay bills and the parent owns an investment property. Alternative? Take out student loans for rent. After college is up, you have nothing but bills. Life ain’t so simple except for simple people.
Do you have a source for this?
@@NeilLewis77 you can't send links but if you type into Google there are news articles, a channel called common sense skeptic also did a video about musk
@@JoJoJoker well it was used as a parry pad, proves he was lying about his dad, and which part of this does buying the house need to happen.

At no point is buying a house nessecary to do so.

I overheard a conversation on a street corner between two rather neat and tidy young men, both looked very aspirational. One was speaking in awed tones about Neuralink, and how amazing its going to be in twenty year's time. I found myself recalling the words of the neurologist Frank Vertosick Jr, who was once told by a mentor of his, "Once the air hits your brain it's never the same." Looking further into this statement, Vertosick Jr elaborates: “to have the audacity to cut into a person’s brain without the slightest clue of his life, his occupation . . . I find that most simply appalling.” I also found myself thinking back to videos of neural implants from the 1960s. There doesn't seem to have been a lot of progress in this frontier of corporate colonisation: the installation of planned technological obsolescence into the human interiors.
I felt rather sorry for these naively optimistic young men.
too many of those around. seems like everybody lost their smartness all of a sudden but replace it with a drive to get things moving. now if you grow an army of those dimwits....man, i wish i'd believe in a god to be able to think he'd save me from that future
I'm old so the future is hilarious to consider. Elon is everything humanity deserves. 😂😂😂 Can you imagine, arguably, the most willfully ignorant population in our history getting cybernetics? 😂😂😂 The videos in the future will be epic son...😂😂😂
I don't. Fucking entitled degenerates. I feel bad for the poor people getting exploited by bad faith rich assholes and their psychophants. These boys have daddy and self image issues that are beyond help. They want the brain chip. They don't have lives
Nice fanfic dude
There's being naively optimistic, but there's also being cinically pessimistic. Every single technology we have ever created as humans has had the potential for both good and evil, and neural implants/brain-computer interfaces are no different.
And, concerning the neurosurgery part (which, btw, Vertosick actually was a neurosurgeon, so he cut people's heads open all the time), I'm pretty sure patients suffering from conditions like epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression would rather have some air touch their brains for a few hours than go on living in immense suffering indefinitely.
A nasty human being who exploits his position as much as he exploits his workforce. A terrible symptom of the time we live in, he won't be fondly remembered.

The richest man on earth owns one company that makes a profit (tesla) Which is highly subsidized by the government and it is actually Panasonic that makes the batteries.
It doesn't add up, maybe its just above my head.
But one thing it has taught me is,
It doesn't matter if you are right in this world, only that the masses think you are right.
It is also the most overvalued car company on top, showing it's just rich on paper
How painfully true, sir! Image over substance, the envelope instead of its contents, it's all about acting and make believe. With such behavior, mankind deserves to die like these poor kids in Africa.
You realize all the biggest companies on earth get subsidies right? It's such a low brow shot at Musk by idiots who know nothing about the world we live in.
They recently got their ESG rating removed, so they wont have this option going forward. Also Tesla in its long existence only ever made a profit for the first time in 2021, without the help of government subsidies etc.
The Tesla company isn't what people are interested in. It's a car company with not many cars, just for one thing. What investors are there for is the possibility that Musk's engineers might be the first out of the gate with mass-market driverless taxis. So, fast forwards, if it turns out he's not first out of the gate, or if it turns out that tech is just chasing unicorns, then all that money vanishes overnight.
Apparently he’s a huge Deus Ex fan. The irony is he probably thinks of himself as JC Denton, when in reality he’s Bob Page.

And what have you personally contributed to society besides your wise criticism? Elon is a human like everyone else. And his contributions still outweigh whatever sh*t he’s got inside him. Btw, everyone’s full of that stuff anyways, including you.
One of the other reasons Tesla has so much money is that they sell their excess pollution allotment to other car manufacturers, ensuring that they have a zero positive environmental impact. A car company can get a lot of money from selling their unused pollution allotment to another car company, and Tesla has loads because their cars are electric.
The ONLY reason Tesla is profitable is from the sale of bullshit carbon credits.
It is NOT a car company, but a carbon credit sales company.
And Tesla is about to go down: their two-trick ponies are now being outdone by real car makers.
Tesla will be nothing but a footnote in the history books.
Sell now, and avoid the coming share price crash. The PE ratio is still moronic.
Sounds like a positive, other auto makers will have incentive to make their own electric cars so they dont have to pay for the credits anymore.
@@breadman32398 ya that would be great, except it’s not a positive at all, in any capacity, because we live in reality. The most money Tesla makes is by far from their sale of carbon credits, precisely because every single other car manufacturer buys carbon credits off of them. This heavily implies that the other car manufacturers would rather buy carbon credits than convert their whole line to electric. On top of that, it’s a direct incentive for any electric car manufacturer to sell their carbon credits, ensuring that oil companies don’t lose marketshare as electric car manufacturing becomes more prominent. Tesla’s carbon footprint is exactly as large as any other car manufacturer because they sell their excess allotment of carbon credits .If you don’t understand that idk what to tell you.
This is all assuming electric cars are good for the environment in the first place, which of course, they are not. “Better” for the environment does not mean “good” for the environment.
@@tomfoolery5844 Carbon credits don't prop up the oil industry.. they provide incentive to all the other manufacturers to make electric cars so they don't have to pay them to Tesla. That's the entire purpose of that program.
The more incentive they have, the more they'll invest in electric. And it takes years to make them, Tesla has a decade head start over the other companies.
Better for the environment is the only thing we can strive for since "good for the environment" is impossible. Riding around in a wooden cart is bad for the environment since you have to cut down a tree to make it, but it's better than a car. Same thing with electric cars, yeah mining is bad, but it's much better than burning gas with a car for 30 years.
That doesn't even sound.. logical or ...
What I am saying is that that's a retarded capitalist invention if I ever heard one x_x
Anyone with two braincells like you and me understands, " _You can't sell that._ ", but Capitalists are like " _No it's cool, see it works!_ "
First time I ever heard of Elon Musk was when he tried to sue Top Gear (UK) for giving his Tesla Roadster a bad review in 2008. Musk lost, then appealed and lost again, dragging it out to 2013 when the case was finally thrown out.

British law is notorious for being in consistent. If Musk had of made the same allegations about the BBC and hey sued they probably would have won.

Now he's in some weird cringe-fest of complaints against the real number of Twitter users and fainting ignorance when asked about due diligence. Why do so many journalists and people in media act like Musk is the real-life Tony Stark? Somehow the guy manages to keep this charade going.
Also, does anyone know what's going on with all the cryptocurrency Musk has been pushing? My UA-cam feed has been full of recommendations with Elon Musk's live streams on crypto and his giveaways, even if I don't follow the guy or the crypto world.

My biggest worry is that Musk might go into politics. Think about it this way. He's already created a personality cult among his followers(one of the few billionaires to actually care about that). Imagine how north korean Musk would be if he took over? The only limitation is that he needs to work around the whole natural born citizen part in the US Constitution.

A few things you missed, mainly how his fortune is actually tied to Tesla's massively inflated stock and him running the company's founder out of the company, so he can call himself the founder of Tesla. It's important to understanding as to why he does the things he does where Tesla goings on are concerned, largely because of point one.
Also there was that whole SolarCity debacle he's tangentially related to. Lots of boardroom drama during his paypal days too, but I need to read up on that again.
And finally, Twitter has never turned a profit, that is since 2007, not since 2017. Lol. Lmao. It's seemingly impossible to monetize, but people keep investing in it for some reason.
As Elon pointed out, Twitter is the defacto town square, so owning it means you own the discourse. UA-cam and probably some other major platforms are run at a loss in order to edge competitors out of the market. In other words, rich people put money into social media to control speech.
Not for some reason. For a particular reason; control.

For instance, the baby formula shortage in america has been twisted into ‘why does immigration enforcement on border have formula for babies but regular American citizens can’t get any?’ instead of blaming the real culprit, the isda and financialization

In the end, such star power would translate in success even if Musk wasn't as competent as he is. It is a multiplier on everything, almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Say what you want about him and his companies, but he must be an absolute genius.
Disagree. He is a celebrity only because the media can make money off his propaganda PR and people who fantasize about a futuristic world but dont give a crap about the scientific and business industries salivate over him by the very same media that makes money off of him.
A lot of the things Elon says be it science quips or twitter memes have been said by others decades before yet his cult look up to him as some kind of genius saying somwthing profound for the first time. That is how you can tell his cult fanatics do not read or educate themselves of actual news in the scientific and business communities.
Then theres the crypto bros...
Elon is a Kardashian and a Trump for wannabe nerds and billionaire grindset hustlers trying to ride off his coattails to wealth and a make-believe technological utopia.
There are better science communicators than Musk. Wayyyy better. Not that Kardashian wannabe. There are more genius businessmen than Musk. Overflated Tesla stock and crypto pump and dumps does not make him a genius. It just makes him the first man to build wealth off an untapped resource. This resource being social media driven techno-bro keyboard warriors and influencer-wannabes.
Elon is above average in intelligence no doubt but not a genius. He is just a smart, bandwagonist Twitter influncer of a business investor and CEO.
5:55 so what you are saying.. is that Elon is about as authentic as his hair line.
remember: musk's utopia is not star trek; it's bladerunner.
Frank Herbert was 100% right about the dangers of hero worship.
Brilliant timing Georg. You must be chuffed.
