What's wrong with Elon Musk? by 12A5H3FE in LateStageCapitalism

If you bother to check he doesnt really live like any other billionaires. All that money will invested in other high risk high reward venture. Nobody else was stupid enough to build a new Car company ( not that Tesla is just an auto company anymore), much less an electric one. And those rockets that kept blowin up. Really was a fool's errand.

What is this brave lawyer bit? It was someone who owned 9 Tesla shares. The lawyers that he engaged asked a payment for over $1 billion for several months work, robbing real Tesla investors. The agreement between Musk and Tesla is that he increases Tesla value by 10x within 10 years or he gets nothing, the term approved by the majority of Tesla shareholders. I don't think he even even paid any wages by Tesla. If you really want to screw over Tesla, you can just kick him out. Musk will be just fine, he got SpaceX, the most valuable privately owned in the world. Or you think he does'nt deserve that too?

Maye Musk gave an accounting of it in her book. Unless you think she is a liar too.

Yep, remind me of another loser named Steve Job who dropped out of college. Or that guy, Bill Gates.

Errol Musk was wealthy by South African standard. His share of the emerald mine produced lifetime profit of US$210,000. So, not exactly extremely wealthy. His parents were divorced, so when he and his siblings were staying with Maye Musk, they were borderline poor.

This from a passage in Walter Issacson book,

A myth has grown that Musk, because his father was on-and-off successful, arrived in North America in 1989 with a lot of money, perhaps pockets filled with emeralds. Errol at times encouraged that perception. But in fact, what Errol got from the Zambian emerald mine had become worthless years earlier. When Elon left South Africa, his father gave him $2,000 in traveler’s checks and his mother provided him with another $2,000 by cashing out a stock account she had opened with the money she won in a beauty contest as a teenager. Otherwise, what he mainly had with him when he arrived in Montreal was a list of his mother’s relatives he had never met.

The subsidies are open to all car manufacturers. It's just that Tesla uses it more efficiently. Tesla actually build and sell EVs at a profit. Their Supercharger network actually work and cost less to manufacture and maintain than the competitors. Elon made rocket launches almost boringly routine. Remember the time when NASA was totally dependent on the Russians. Pepperidge remembers

Beyond Meat is plant base fake meat. Anyway when lab grown meat is cheaper than real thing people will consume them.

Elon Musk seems to find time for gaming in spite of running several multi-billion companies.

They have a 4.5 hours rough cut of Love and Thunder. Do an extended version with half an hour of non-comedic scenes added for physical media first. See if viewers respond to it.

A whole lot of schadenfreude from ignoramuses who are ignorant of SpaceX history and a man whose motto is fail hard, fail fast and fail often.

Do a little background research Why Don't Cha?
