I am starting to think Chinese interviewers currently fail non-Chinese candidates on purpose.
Some like him because he spearheads projects for the betterment of humankind like Tesla, SpaceX. Some don’t like him because he talks to dictators like Xi Jinping and Recep Erdogan. Some simply don’t like him because he is rich. What do y’all think? TC: 500k #inflation #omicron #joebiden
Hmm, about that betterment. He took over Tesla, kicked out the founders, pretty much erased from history and took all the credit. Most people equate Elon with Tesla and don't even know he didn't start the company. SpaceX is a massive funnel of government funds into Elon's pockets. Arguably a publicly funded space program should be run by a public institution. At least he is doing a good job killing the cesspool that is Twitter?
I understand that he can't literally have done all the ground work to get these companies where they are. But it seems he's played a big part in getting these companies to where they needed to be? Didn't he invest a ton of his own $ to keep tesla afloat? There's no way he got luckily with all of the companies he's a part of right? The way I see it is that he is able to somehow get shit done, whether it is marketing or guidance. He has much more of a vision than most give him credit for.
Yeah, but the question wasn't about whether Elon was competent. It was about liking him. I can think of plenty of competent assholes.
I think most engineers hate him because he expects companies to have a small number of staff that work crazy hours (correct me if I'm wrong).
That makes a lot of sense. Fuck that shit, if it's just a job, you shouldn't have to devote your life to a company.
I couldn't agree more. Maybe if we were getting a 1000th of what he makes, then it would make a lot more sense
I will hate him if he doesn't show up in Zuck's hospital room and body slam him. I think he used to be alright, now he's too busy trying to get attention.
People stopped liking him when he became a moderate. Keep in mind the left consider moderates as "right wing" . Just like the first comment said he's not "balanced". When actually he is in the middle of right and left. Just goes to show how polarized people are politically. If you aren't in my party and disagree with my world views, I will cancel you.
Moderates don't signalboost conspiracy theories about Pelosi's husband gay boy friend. Moderates don't support Ron Desantis. Moderates don't retweet far right figures. He might have been a moderate previously but his political inclinations are pretty clear these days :).
Thats correct, right wing is mostly moderate. The left is full of extremists and deniers.
I think he’s a dickhead that capitalizes on government hand outs to propel his dumb business ideas. NASA could do everything SpaceX has done if someone in government cared about running a company efficiently. In the end all the talent left NASA and went to SpaceX. Elon is the ultimate opportunist of the latest gimmick.
second that
This is the dumbest comment I’ve read on blind, congrats.
I used to like him before he got too self obsessed and started making questionable decisions. But he is a pioneer and every generation has to have folks like him to push humanity ahead. The dude is a brilliant mind and I do adore him as to how he has been able to replicate success in 2-3 different industries (Tesla, spacex, solar city). I do read the points he makes and then rationalize it -recently he is mostly garbage.
He is extremely intelligent but also a pumper and has no business in getting involved with:: social media, business , politics, Russia , etc He is worshiped more than Jesus himself these days for whatever reason and there is another group that absolutely hates him and thinks he is an idoit. Both groups are dumb... Which sums up America
Out of touch with reality due to some form of mental illness.
He doesn't care and neither should you.
He is a brilliant individual and I cannot align with his worldview now a days. Just seems incapable of balanced thinking these days.
Balanced in what way?
He had blinkers on for a while now. Signal boosting conspiracy theories and far-right figures and basically demonizing lefty figures.
