I don't know, numerous people including you immediately jumping to the guy's defense like this at being called an idiot (which he very obviously revealed himself to be this year with his conduct with Twitter) suggests quite a bit differently.

Not sure what that has to do with my post. Don't think I said he's a bad person or that some of the immense wealth he's built up hasn't been used for good.

Just answering your question of why he has fan boys. I don't have much of an opinion on the guy himself, but what he has done and is doing is incredibly beneficial for mankind.

But Elon’s legacy would have been far better off had he let a PR rep handle his tweets. His image started going downhill the moment he called the leader of the Thailand cave rescue, one of the most daring rescues in recent history (saving children, no less) a audiophile because he gently told Elon his proposal for the rescue wasn’t practical. That was in 2018, and Elon hasn’t been able to help himself since. It’s also unarguable the damage he single-handedly has done to Tesla. He promised his investors repeatedly in the summer that Tesla shares were off limits in his purchase of twitter. He’s now sold billions of shares to prop up twitter despite repeatedly telling his board otherwise. To pretend in the face of all available evidence that this was some master plan for Elon when it’s corresponded with a complete collapse of Tesla’s stock (despite Tesla having one of its highest revenue years in its history) is just ignoring reality at this point. I fully acknowledge things could bounce back — but Elon had a huge hand in the damage done to his brand this year, and it’s amazing how his fanboys would prefer to dig their heels in than to even acknowledge that possibility. Again, I like Elon more that most billionaires, but it’s odd how so many refuse to even acknowledge that the guy has made some colossal unforced errors mostly from his inability to control himself from tweeting since around 2018.
Spoiler!

This however just reeks of NPC drivel: Quote:

Says the guy who has spent multiple posts now defending the guy from being called an idiot after months of doing stupid things.
And sure, I suppose you could spend multiple paragraphs setting out exactly how Elon has been an idiot with respect to Twitter or you could just summarize it all in calling him an idiot like I did. Either way, he's clearly exposed himself to be an idiot through his conduct there. Last edited by KC_Connection; 12-27-2022 at 06:04 PM.. |

The problem isn't that you said something about Musk, it is that you sound just like every other NPC that took a quick turn "in the last year and in particular the last few months" because the TV/media told you to. |
