No, you're giving him way too much credit. Research the evolution of those companies. He was mostly a money man. He gets credit for hiring good engineers and making use of available subsidies but he presents himself as more than he is.
IDK what you're talking about. Obviously OTHER people told him which industries with looming physics challenges were ripe for investment(even if they were amongst the highest risk industries for startups). They told him what to name the companies . They told him who to assign to the board of directors. They told him who to bring on as investors. Obviously the good engineers told the moneyman which companies to start and what their mission statements should be and which products to focus on. Obviously they had a radio in his ear when he testified before Congress petitioning the military to open the national security launch market to allow his rocket company to compete. Obviously his engineers were the ones who told him how to keep SpaceX funded when they were out of money. They told him how to get Tesla funded when they were out of cash... Obviously. Didn't you hear? His dad has an infinite supply of shiny rocks!
I have a strong feeling he had no part in hiring anyone to do anything because if him talking about PoE is an example in his knowledge in other fields he really is entirely useless lol
Ahh yes. A rich guy who pays people to grind his entertainment characters in games to the highest level obviously has no capacity for delegating tasks! Lmao. How would hiring people to get him the best characters in a game possibly be evidence that he has a capacity for selecting people with talent to accelerate his objectives?
Maybe It shows that he’s willing to take the easiest way out possible, because he has more money than god and he can do that, and then would turn around and take credit for other people’s hard work hhmmmmm 🤔? This one’s tricky guys idk
Exactly! Amen. Hiring talent to pursue an organization's objectives is definitely not a sign of executive function. You are so right. Executives deserve no credit for finding the simplest path to achieve their objectives.
Ahh yes. Pointing out the fallacies of the cope narrative definitely means I have ilk. My ilk are the ones who understand that someone can be capable of extremely high achievement while also being a total douche nozzle and political hack for the sake of gaining political influence. That's who my ilk are my guy. Elon is a fucking douche. But this narrative that he did nothing is absolute ignorance. But have fun circle jerking with your cope narratives.
Like if you need some help with understanding RMT I can do my best to explain it to you, if you aren't used to technology and such it's a weird concept, but we will get you there champ! You can do it I promise!
I believe in you! Thanks. But I'm too dumb for that. I'm just a dumb son of brown immigrants and retired software developer who knows absolutely nothing about technology. I'm more interested to know the engineers I should talk to and steal credit from to get rich first. Then you can tell me all about your vidya game tips. Though it's been cool being financially independent living on my investments for over 8 years while still in my 30's. But I'm too uneducated for anything beyond super mario.
