Personally I really dont care about him. He comes across as a wealthy drama queen looking for attention where ever he can get it.

In any normal publicly traded corporation with a normal Board of Directors, he’d be long gone.
His habit of tweeting out materially significant statements that are not factual, his violation of fraternization with direct subordinates, his blatant in attention to operational planning and the sheer reputation Al risk he brings to the brand would have been enough to push him out the door long ago.

It’s kind of nice to see the 2nd richest man in the world is not all that smart after all.

“inattention”
”reputational”
damn autocorrect
(More coffee needed)
apologies.

Yubaru and Nibek32......left me not needing to comment.

Is there really any doubt that "Knives out - Glass Onion" wasn't targeting wealthy narcissists and the misguided belief that stupendously rich = genius (when in fact there are numerous examples of people getting rich by accident of birth in spite of being utter morons.)?
Nemo
"Was targeting"
Damnit. That one is on me. No blaming autocorrect for that one.
Apologies.

LOL
Wealth maybe, but his fame, in the more intellectual sphere, not the dumbed down social media/MSM horde, is definitely his Starlink and Space X tech.

All I have to say on that matter is that NASA and the Defense Department long ago did all the hard work to make rocketry and space flight doable. They did all the really hard and expensive work. Nearly all of what SpaceX does is apply lessons learned, frequently at great human cost, by NASA and the military. Even landing the booster on a barge is no more complex and maybe less so that landing a Lunar Module on the Moon. About the only thing SpaceX does differently is they make money off it. But if they had to develop all of the tech they use on their own dime they never would have gotten off the ground.

I don't mean this to be mean or disparaging but when you view Elon Musk's behavior you have to see it through the lens of someone who is on the Autism Spectrum. I have a normally sweet little boy who is likewise very smart, but also on the spectrum and he can be a real handful. The Au in Autism means it is all about him, and suffers are not aware of how their actions affect others. They have to be taught to recognize their condition and be taught to understand how others feel. My suspicion is that being raised when and where he was Mr. Musk never had the benefit of modern ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) treatments such as Applied Behavioral Analysis, speech and occupational therapy that are available today.

You're not wrong, yet following your line of thinking, some respect must be paid to Hitler for, well maybe not lighting the candle of rocket science but definitely showing the world of its potential, both lethal and peaceful.
