Can we just admit that Elon doesn't do anything as CEO?

In fact can we just admit that most CEOs don't do much real work for their companies? Seems like their real jobs are to hoover up money and talk about how great they are while shitting all over their workers.
You build a business that big and let us know what you do as CEO. I'm guessing Elon has replaced himself many times over the years with competent people. That is a skill in itself. Finding and managing competent people is a skill.
 
Soooo...why are you here? I always appreciate the level of "don't GAF" that compels individuals to publicly announce it.
Entertainment. That's why I'm here. Why are you here? Is it to learn about life lessons? Learn about politics? Are you actually getting something out of being on here?
 
lol…yeah. A lot of people. Good grief. Here’s a CNBC article from 2015 before everyone was told they’re supposed to hate him.

10 inventions credited to him that you think “a lot of people could have done”.

This is silly. In your opinion, has anything changed about Musk since 2015?

Nobody needs to be told they’re supposed to hate him. Easy enough to do based on his words and deeds.
 
Your definition of "don't GAF" is wildly different from mine. Given that this conversation now meets my definition, it's no longer worth pursuing.
Oh it's wildly different. No doubt about that. I don't take a lot serious. Unless it's you know, serious.

Uhhhh...what? He didn't "invent" Tesla or Space X. He hasn't even "invented" the hyperloop. Paypal was the property of another company that Musk merged with so he had nothing to do with inventing that, either. That is a remarkable fan-boy article you linked.
 
I like you but come on...no one survives on this board and still be "of sound mind"

Just curious. How much stock do you own in X, Tesla, or Space X that you feel Elon Musk has to account to you for his time? Do you own stock in any other companies? Have you attended annual shareholder meetings to voice your concerns that the CEOs don’t really do anything? How did that go?

Easy enough to give credit to Elon for leading innovative companies while also believing he’s a complete asshole.
Yeah. Lots of them are ass holes. But that’s a strawman. My contention wasn’t with him being an ass hole. I actually agree with that for the most part. My contention is with Huey saying “a lot of people could do what he did”. THAT may be the dumbest thing ever posted on this site.

Perhaps.

I take contention that we’re taking our cues from someone to tell us that Elon is bad. It’s pretty GD evident that his policies and support of political parties sucks ass. In addition, he sucks as a father.

Doesn’t rate as a quality human in my opinion.

Like 60% of billionaires he was born into extreme wealth. Then he made some lucky decisions, got billionaires of dollars of government welfare, exploited workers, etc etc.

More strawmen. I never disagreed with anything you just said. Again… Saying that anyone could do what he has done when it comes to his inventiveness and business acumen is just a fvcking stupid thing to say.

Pretty rich coming from a deadbeat who doesn't have a job.

I’m simply disagreeing with your statement that we’ve been “told” to hate Musk.

Musk makes it easy to do all on his own.
 
Ok I’ll buy that. I was referring more to the media. I couldn’t see that same article being written today by NBC.

I get it - the media is an easy target. Mostly what I’ve seen is Musk’s own words or opinions being broadcast - on alternative sites like BlueSky. The dude is straight up telling us who he is.

Blaming the media is weak sauce, Faulty.
 
Because he has an outsized influence on US policy? Because he endorsed a neo-Nazi party in Germany? Because he's never been elected to shit? Because he's set to head a "department" that will supposedly look for a trillion dollars in wasteful spending while his companies have hoovered up over $7 BILLION tax dollars?

Pick any of those.
You truly are brainwashed.

Are you saying that die hard Tesla people who were all in because of “saving the planet” didn’t change their opinion on a dime because he popped their Twitter bubble? None of that happened at all, eh?

What has Elon ever invented? Claiming that he is an inventor if a fvcking stupid thing to say.

Come on, Elno does a lot each day. Ketamine, tweet, tweeet, video games, tweet,tweet, ketamine, undermine democracies, tweet, tweet, video game, katamine, tweet under his sock puppet account, tweet, ketamine…
Yeah but not everyone can do what he does. Please ignore them the fact that we can't because we weren't born wealthy enough to simply buy out existing companies. We should all just be grateful douchebags like him exist to cosplay as a real person.

Literally everything. There is nothing he has been correct about in his description of Elon.

You don't think he has oversized influence?
You aren't aware of the fact he has received billions in corporate welfare?
You missed his endorsement of the AfD?
You think a made-up quasi-governmental program headed up by Vivek who made his billions in a pump and dump scam and the world's richest man is a good idea for anyone in America?

Arguing with Mr. Anger Management?

Bold strategy
