I'm betting 'Vacuous'.

What do you mean ? The piece of shit it trotted out in the media like some super entrepreneur yet he's a complete fraud. You don't think it's news worthy that someone like this is actually a fraud ? The Lance Armstrong of business. The guy is a lying fraudulent piece of fucking shit.

Are you suggesting that you might be smarter than him? Maybe you are just a little bit poorer. Your parents must be so proud of your inability to recognize your own failings, and still blame anyone else.

And yet..... yep, I looked, and couldn’t find a single fuck to give.

Well, he's got a lot in common with Donald Trump. But thankfully he wasn't born in the US so the piece of walking garbage can't run for president

musk has quite the penchant for self promotion

Sure, not founded by Elon Musk, but close to going down like so many small startups. Without him, partly due to $80 million he invested, but mostly due to him driving development, Tesla became what it is today.

The Worlds Greatest Showman, imo- but the worlds richest bloke too. It seems to me that his greatest feat has been raising vast amounts of venture capital for some pretty high falutin' ideas, and a very long lead time before any return on capital will be seen- indeed, if ever. Not only has be done so successfully, but his investors are actually sitting on great gains. Gotta say well done for that.

Tesla has been profitable for quite a while now. Which is reflected in the rise of tsla shares. Though it is really highly valued, but not nearly as overvalued as Rivian, which is rising on the tide of Tesla.

SpaceX at this time is inded not profitable. They are investing into 2 mega projects, Starship and Starlink. Starlink is expected to become profitable, in 2022/23. It can potentially produce net profits per year in the multiple billion $ range. That's why large commercial investors are fighting to put their money into SpaceX.

Plus of course the best and brightest young engineers want to get into SpaceX and Tesla.

Sure, Elon Musk has its less positive sides, which great mind does not?

Hard to watch the video and not agree with Backspin.

The difference between a salesman and a conman is that the former makes big promises and believes he can deliver, the conman makes the big claims knowing he will not deliver.

Musk is looking increasingly like the latter.

No, your point is so what. Many people take financial positions on the Elon Musk companies. Probably better if they weigh up all the information available rather than just Elon’s tweets.

Elon has been poking sticks at media and political pundits lately, and moved his HQ out of California. <cancel culture?

All those achievements, after he came to the US without any money. With taxes due for 2021 he will have paid $1.5 million for every day since he became US citizen.

This.

Sure he's a bit showy, a dick on twitter. But credit where credit is due.

He is a literal conman that hasn't been busted yet. Bernie Madoff was on the cover of Fortune magazine and was an upstanding highroller too. But I understand. You will wait till its official. I just happen to know he's a criminal now.

“I just happen to know” … very little, and understand even less.

Well done SoCal. What a bright and shining object you are …..

Agree with the "Hard to watch" part. Cringy at the very least. Had to stop watching after a few seconds.
