Bill Gates has given away over seventy BILLION dollars through his charitable foundation. Yet there's a significant chunk of people who believes he's an evil mastermind who created COVID to force everyone to get microchips injected which he can control via 4G
Yeah, rightoids are to blame for the hourly "eat the rich" circlejerk, sure.
BTW kill "journos" not in minecraft 
Rowling being charitable is HALF TRUE

Every company Elon makes is an attempt to better humanity. Electric cars, space flight, giving quadriplegics a second life. The things he pursues isnt just rent seeking bullshit fintech.
It actually infuriates me to no end that r*dditors think putting out flashy displays of gibs is a better use of resources. No, b-words, Id rather see Mars.

Yeah because humanity urgently needed the Hyperloop instead of a simple subway line that can do the same thing 10 times more efficient

Musk may be well meaning (may be,) but he is a cringetard, and those companies would work better without his personal imputs. I don't think developing Cybertruck brought us any closer to living in a Utopia.

Wrong, everyone wants to live in the future but we need some one to invest in stupid silver clothing and bubble cars of we ever want to get there

unlike most CEOs he has the balls to execute on longterm goals. Tesla buying a million GPUs? What other company would take that risk with no short term benefit?

I mostly agree with you about elon but tbh every tech company is investing heavily in ai rn so musk isnt unique in that aspect. Microsoft signed a 20 yr deal in September to bring the three mile island nuclear reactor back online just to power their data centers

Sure, but the fact you can think of Tesla as a tech company and not a car company is kind of the point tho

The cars themselves aren't impressive. It's the battery tech. They even sell the batteries for other uses with Powerwall and megapack.

If those companies would operate better without him, then their existing competitors are currently outperforming them.

Those companies are doing good (those that actually do) due to being owned by Musk, I'm not going to argue against that. He really believes in the goals set for those companies.
But he has a tendency to meddle with how they operate on a lower level (or forces them to focus on his shitty passion projects), and when he does he usually shits things up for no other reason than thinking he knows better.
I mainly dislike him for that, and being cringe.

I dislike him for his callous disregard for safety.
Many different vehicles came with MobilEye's eyeQ2 system. It was not designed to perform hands-free driving, and MobilEye required manufacturers utilize a cooldown timer and prompt "keep hands on steering wheel" if the system determined the needful.
MobilEye cancelled their contract with Tesla because Tesla was ignoring those requirements, right around the time you'd see videos of Asian teenagers sleeping on Autopilot.

Yeah his low-level meddling is a blessing and a curse for Tesla.
Him being cringe on social media is fun cause it infuriates the online horde of smarmy downwardly-mobile "intellectuals" when they see the exact type of uncultured techbro they hate so much succeed.

Musk has never "made" a single company. He just buys them and acts like he runs them.

he just buys a company for $50k and then for no particular reason it ends up being worth $5M, or he buys one for $5M and then for no particular reason it ends up being worth $100M, [rinse and repeat until trillions]
anyone could do it, it's just that nobody who has $50k wants to end up with $300B that's why nobody else does it.
