      Name one thing Elon has done himself, alone

      Scam his way further up. He’s been excellent at claiming e.g full self driving car or colonizing Mars were “just” years away, repetitively, and we are still waiting. What is nuts is that investors accept to STILL be waiting despite his predictions been clearly wrong.

      So… even though I agree he didn’t invent anything significant, he is the best grifter ever.

      He won a game of truth or dare with the SEC by buying Twitter. I don’t know if anyone else has won truth or dare vs. the SEC, but he certainly spent the most doing so.

      The guy is the CEO of several multi-billion dollar companies. The direction of those companies and all final internal decisions are the responsibility of the CEO. If the company does well or fails he carries that weight. I understand that you hate him but he has earned his success and Musk is an asset to America. You guys are seriously entering cult level delusion.

        So are you stupid or a liar? That’s not how companies have worked in forever, he has golden parachutes built into his contracts and would flee the companies with guaranteed pay if he drove them into the ground.

        Elon is a rich bitch who dumps money into shit until he’s the only person left doing it, he’s earned nothing in his entire Nazi life

          That is how all publicly traded companies work. Yes he gets a large pay package, it was contractually guaranteed when he took the job as tesla CEO, but he still carries the responsibility of the fate of the company. Want to see how that works? Look at the former CEO of Intel Pat Gelsinger. Went from getting 20 billion from the biden administration to the verge of bankruptcy.
