There's this thing called "The Great Man Theory" It's seriously flawed!
How many engineers went to school for 6 years or more to learn their trade?
Thousands of employees multiplied by thousands of hours of study.
How many people does Tesla or SpaceX employ?
How many get credit for their ideas? If they invent something new, solve an impossible problem,
patent a new invention - who gets credit for it? Elon does!
140,500 employees at Tesla
13,000 employees at SpaceX
You got 153,000 employees moving mountains in their daily lives to come
to work and make Elon money. Every single one of their actions and ideas
make Elon look smarter than he is and that's the myth of the genius CEO.
It's like people bragging about climbing Mount Everest while they helicopter into
base camp and hire a bunch of sherpas to carry their gear and oxygen tanks up the mountain.
The sherpas make it happen. The rich guy takes the credit.
once, the great man theory can explain pretty easily, across four distinct disciplines (social media, electric cars, space exploration, government) at the highest levels, if you're still laughing at this guy and calling him a clown, you should turn your computer on cause that screen you're looking at is showing you your own reflection. elon musk is evil, incredibly dangerous, and about to hurt hundreds of millions of people in the near future, maybe because he was called a fool instead of what he truly is
Nobody says he's not dangerous. Being a fool only makes him more dangerous
A competent villain is infinitely more dangerous than a foolish villain. Trump is a foolish villain who has surrounded himself with competent villains, Elon chief among them.
