      People who are handed their wealth and position have no sense of how much they embarrass themselves when they take a title they haven't earned. Someone whose father I used to work for, recently started calling herself co-founder of her family business... which her grandfather started decades before she was born. 🙄 She treated her work in the company as a lifestyle - most of which she charged to the company - and had zero work ethic, especially compared to her father. If she had been founder, it wouldn't have got off the ground, let alone lasted two generations.

      Is this view based on this video ?
      If so, I'm not a fan of Elon, or a hater, yet personally I was a bit disappointed in this video, which I was looking forward to from the title. I think this video holds little to no credence, it whizzes through far too quickly without providing enough reliable info or context to a claim or the info that is provided, and offers no alternative viewpoint or counter to the claims being made. When making a documentary, which this video essentially is, I believe you have to reach out to either the person you are making the claims about, to comment, or the next best thing you can get hold of. Even at the very least, considering this is a UA-cam video, I believe you should reach out to Musk fan forums for example, inform them in detail of all your claims, and show them your sources, and asked them to provide a member to combat these claims in an interview. If you're being honest and genuinely trying to find the truth of the matter that is the sort of thing you should be doing.
      Yet this video, to me just comes across more as a spoon feeding for certain people who want to hear certain things about Elon Musk.

      Imagine if you were an animator. You wanted to talk with someone about the animation techniques used in old Disney films. However, the only responses you ever got were talking about how great Walt Disney was, how he was a visionary, how he was a brilliant businessman. Sure he may have achieved much, but I would also like to talk about other things besides him.
      Also to your point of "were you this mad at Steve Jobs?" No, because I didn't run in those circles and didn't have to hear about him day in and day out, which is exactly my issue. Like I stated before, I have this issue because he works in the same field (roughly) as me yet the man himself is all some people want to talk about and it's getting old. It would also be less annoying if his fans didn't jump blindly at the opportunity to defend him, using the same old arguments time and time again, instead of actually reading what I have written and stopping to think about it for more than 0.2 seconds before writing a knee-jerk reply calling me a hater for having some minor criticisms about the culture surrounding this man.

And mining does irreversible damage, it destroys the soil and makes it unsuable for at least hundreds of years if not thousands, depending on the damage. with combustion engines we can atleast plant more trees in order to capture greenhouse gases, but with only teslas there would be no soil to plant trees on.

Even if you buy the tiles now like 5 years later, they'll tell you they're still a beta product and not the production model. Also do you remember the roadster 2020? I remember seeing tons of youtubers putting their affiliate code out just to get one, and like 5 years later the company hasn't even acknowledged it since even though thousands of people were supposed to get a free one as Tesla wrote in their own affiliate system.

    Trufax: The Artist Known to Most People as Grimes, Elon's one-time baby mama, was a good friend of mine back in Uni. Back then she used to eat out of dumpsters and dollar stores, lived in a cheap-ass slum apartment full of crackheads, so she could host illegal shows and no one would complain about the noise. We were a bunch of 20-year-old gutter punks drawing zines, exchanging playlists on CD-R, raging against the machine. Years later, I saw that pic of her with this narcissistic liar (i.e. E) at the Met Gala and I thought oh, honey, if yourself at 20 could see yourself now, you'd never stop throwing up. I pray for poor Alpha X2 every day, that kid is going to need a lot of therapy. This video does a great job of highlighting the hard facts about E.'s lies and legal violations in business. But you could also consider more personal things that he doesn't hide, like his megalomaniacal penchant for having a fuckton of babies by many women - a trait you see primarily in cult leaders, who also tend to exhibit dangerous levels of reality-denying narcissistic tendencies.

      The tesla in space was a payload for the first flight of Falcon Heavy, and the first flight of essentially every rocket in history doesn't get a real payload because of the uncertainty of success. And no sweetie, you can't just launch an empty rocket, because that doesn't weigh the same as a rocket with a full payload, OBVIOUSLY. Every other test rocket launch in history with a mass simulator (that's what dummy payloads are called) has literally just used a cube of concrete. The only reason they used a tesla instead was for brand recognition and publicity, but it wasn't some sort of ego trip on account of the options were "cool car ad in space" or "cinderblock lul."

    The illusion of success, some say is more important than success itself. He pulled some Elizabeth Holmes shit early on and really faked his way to the top. But the image is unraveling, much like Holmes did. I also find it laughable that he accused the journalists who criticized him for being "rich Berkeley kids" when his dad effectively bought his career. He had an incredibly priviledged upbringing and he's an example of people who are the products of generational wealth projecting themselves as solely self-made.

He was not listed as an alumnus of the Physics department (including their 1997 congratulations to all graduates) until he made a “generous endowment” in 2009. I’m not going to comment on the Economics degree except to say it’s the same one Trump got, so it’s at least possible that some combination of bribery, fraud, and/or rewarding low-effort from students from wealthy families or with existing business ventures could be at work. Just speculation, not fact; you’ll have to look at his investment practices to deduce whether they are based on what he learned at Wharton or more basic con-man skillls. I’m no MBA.

    I used to really appreciate Elon Musk, thinking that he was going to help humanity in a big way by pioneering space travel through SpaceX, by popularizing electric cars through Tesla, and by promoting renewable energy through SolarCity. Then I read about how he acquired Tesla through a hostile takeover, and kicking out the original founders and claiming that he was the original founder. Then I heard about how anti union he was, and how SpaceX employee wages were far worse than other big aerospace companies like Boeing or Lockheed Martin. Hmm... That's not very good for humanity if you're making the humans who work for you literally have worse lives then they otherwise could.
    I started hearing about the stupid nonsense he constantly spouts on twitter, about how he's allying himself with far-right groups to keep his money and influence, whilst being the richest and most influential person in the world right now. It seems more and more that he's a petulant, spoiled child who does whatever he can to get his way. Then all the drama with Twitter. The way he's just ruining people's lives by firing people left, right, and centre for the most nonsensical of reasons. Telling his workers to "work long hours, and work hard, or leave." It seems like Elon isn't the genius he thought he was. It really makes sense that he has autism, because he literally doesn't seem to understand that other people have feelings different to his own. He acts like everyone is just his plaything. Which is true, because he's never been held accountable for any of the bad things he's done, and just keeps getting richer and more powerful despite acting like a complete tool all the time. I doubt that Elon has ever worked a single day in his life as hard as he's asking his twitter employees to work. He's literally making the world a worse place to live. And for what? So he can have enough money to ruin one of the biggest social media companies as his pet project?
    There are no good billionaires. Because to be a billionaire, you need to extract capital from the work that others do on a massive scale. Just like his father before him, paying slavery-level wages to a bunch of poor Zambian miners and selling the fruits of _their_ labor for massive profit, Elon is doing the same with his companies today.

      I was agreeing with you up until the autism thing. Being a cold, uncaring person has nothing to do with autism. Some autistic people like myself have low empathy, but that doesn't mean we don't have sympathy and care about other people deeply. Other autistic people have hyper-empathy. Elon being a terrible person has nothing to do with autism so citing all the terrible things he's done and then saying it "makes sense" that he's autistic is really hurtful, so I hope that was just clumsy wording and not that you and 66 other people really see us that way
