>Elon makes a relatively good case in the Dwarkesh podcast.

Are we still going to pretend that the man who has gotten every single prediction wrong so far knows what he is talking about?

Are we still going to pretend that the man who has revolutionized at least 2 different industries doesn't know what he's talking about?

He didn't revolutionize shit. He just threw enough VC money and paid the right people enough to eventually make a product that sticks. It took Space X multitude of crashes, downright scamming their suppliers, and lots of turnover to do something that other companies did in a few years. And the Starship is just laughably stupid.

And Tesla's only success is because they were subsidized like crazy. Of course people are going to purchase cheap electric cars with no maintenance. If BYD was allowed to operate in US, Tesla would have been under ground long time ago.

But I get your sentiment though. You are so far down the conservatism rabbit hole and probably have some inappropriate thoughts towards children, so you have to defend Musk till you die because god forbid you admit to yourself that you are terrible human being.


He has never made a good case only coherent stories people believe.

He has been saying self driving cars are right around the corner 10+ years by using a staged video.

I will never forget this statement; _I don't know anything about EVs so when he talked I believed him. I don't know anything about rockets so when he talked I believed him. I most defiantly know about software development and when he opens his mouth I know he is lying."

Still don't get what people see in him. Deep down he is not a good person and will say anything to pump up his image and stock.

P.S. Number of his fans like to down vote people for calling him a bad person.
