Elon Musk: Always A Douche

[The Minsky Moment]

That's equivalent to an 11 percent discount on the sale.  Combined with the crypto losses I'd say the case for erratic unforced error is still stronger than the genius master plan narrative.

[Berkut]

Yes, he is clearly making error after error. 

I mean, what was he thinking with that crypto investment? Nobody else fell for such a thing!

And obviously he knows nothing about how to actually make money, which is totally clear because one of his investments isn't doing well at this particular moment in time.

If you objectively look at the man and how he has managed his finances, he is clearly terribly incompetent at this "making money" thing.

[Jacob]

Elon? Is that you?

[Tamas]

Elon? Is that you?

I think that's Berkut before his morning coffee.

[HVC]

I mean he's more financially savvy then the original, but every day Elon turns more and more into Gen X Trump.

Elon? Is that you?

I think that's Berkut before his morning coffee.

I think it's Berkut as well.  The user name gives it away.

[Berkut]

Yeah, only Elon could possibly look at Elon and come to any conclusion other then "OMG HE IS SO DUMB!"

You know that all of this is the exact same song sung about Gates back when he was the tech asshole de jure, right?

[Berkut]

You guys are a bunch of housewives reading tabloids about the private lives of some star you love to hate.

I mean he's more financially savvy then the original, but every day Elon turns more and more into Gen X Trump.

People like Musk become hugely successful because for multiple decisions in a row, they went against mainstream thinking and it paid off handsomely.  Unfortunately, this has a tendency to convince you that you always know better than mainstream, and that puts you on the path to fly too close to the sun. 

The reason mainstream thinking is mainstream is because it is most likely to be correct overall, and it's very hard to keep striking gold consistently by going against it.  The person who gets drunk on success is no longer the same person who became successful in the first place.

[The Brain]

Yeah, only Elon could possibly look at Elon and come to any conclusion other then "OMG HE IS SO DUMB!"

US law is weird.

[Barrister]

In the end the Lawyers always win.

[Grey Fox]

Yeah, only Elon could possibly look at Elon and come to any conclusion other then "OMG HE IS SO DUMB!"

That's a valid criticism altho Bill Gates, like Elon Musk now, was really an asshole back then.


Like BG, Musk isn't good at making money. He's good at fostering a innovating environment and pushing the limits of manufacturing in already implemented industries. It's when he smokes some weed & forget he's not an angel investor and starts tweeting his musing that things start going bad and his autistic nature makes it hard for him to back down.

The guy became the richest in the world by starting companies dedicated to clean energy and space exploration but he is considered trumpy because of shitposting...

[Habbaku]

Like BG, Musk isn't good at making money.

I have no idea what this means, unless you completely ignore that they are two of the wealthiest human beings ever to have existed.
