(1) ngl that is amazing, a heart-warming story
(2) still fuck Elon Musk
Don't forget it wasn't made by The Musk. There are probably countless people involved in technology like that. Emerald boi probably just foot the bill and flapped his jowls.
*flapped his tits
Well, he does seem to be incapable of calming them.
The mental gymnastics needed to turn even every positive news article against Musk is quite amusing. When it's bad Elon did it personally and when it's good he had nothing to do with it.
No... If it's actual tech, Elon had nothing to do with it because he's a fucking idiot that's never actually created anything of value. He's not an engineer, he's a guy with a shit load of money that made a couple smart investments early on.
He had no role in the development of PayPal.
He didn't even "start" Tesla, he bought enough shares to get control and became CEO years after the company was created by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning.
Dude does nothing but take credit for the work of actual engineers.
I think you honestly have to compare the things he takes credit for with the things he openly does singlehandedly. It's not just positive vs negative and assigning responsibility blindly.
Well I mean if it wasn't for Steve Jobs we probably wouldn't have had iPods, iPhones, Macs etc. but besides some individual design choices it's not like it was he personally who made them. I still think it's still reasonable for him to have much of the credit. You can change half of the engineers and designers and still end up with the same product but if you change Steve then you wont. I think this pretty much applies to the stuff Elon is doing aswell. It's not him building and placing the implants but without him there wouldn't be implants to begin with.
Tesla existed for years before Musk bought himself into the CEO position.
No, you can't change out engineers and designers and get the same shit. Thats the actual talent. That is whwre the fathomless expanse of knowledge meets applicable experience. The truth is, you could change out Steve Jobs with any other charismatic face and the product would be the same because the engineers behind it are still sound. Fucking backwards ass logic is this? Being a salesmen is the least of all the challenges you face when creating new technology.
I will turn every right winger positive into a negative as long as they keep stripping our rights. Fuck them. They could literally save my life and I'd punch them in the face with the scale of harm they cause with their hateful policies. Musky boi is no different. He wants to be the Emperor and his clothes are just absolutely the finest in the land can't you see them?
