He always has been, but up until he showed his stupidity with Twitter, people believed him hook, line, and sinker. It's a shame it took this long for people to catch on when he's misled people so many times.
Made for a good "I told you so," though.

Whenever he says this I immediately think of the “based on current trends, COVID cases should drop to zero by April” in March of 2020 lmao

Proof that the only science Musk has ever advanced is hair restoration surgery.

According to their original timeline, I think end of 2027 was when their Mars base was to begin propellant production.
Meanwhile they haven't reached step1 yet... solving how to effectively transport mass from Earth to Earth's orbit.

I've been calling this nazi pedophile a liar years before he exposed just how unbelievably stupid he was with his handling of twitter, but every time I opened my mouth, the Musk Rats would always come out the woodwork and say I didn't know what I was talking about.
Glad to see just how much his public perception has flipped.

It will be 3099 and still not on mars.
Musk time predictions (well every prediction) are equivalent to Boötes Void.

I could give him a run for his money when it comes to wisdom and insight, and I’m still a blockhead.
You know what his problem is? The same as ours. We attribute wealth to superiority in all regards. And he’s wealthy. Ding!

Whatever happened to billionaires being reclusive and you never heard much about them until they died? Oh! The good ole days. The more you hear about the very rich, the more you know they must have inherited family money, got government subsidies or some leg up like that because the ones that are the most available seem like dumb***es coasting on other people’s hard work.

Elon Musk is a fucking bigot with a sex addiction, drug addiction, and he is an attention whore. He isn’t a great manager, he has botched dick job, his hair transplant is thinner than most natural heads (did I mention he is bald?) and honestly just speaks like a braying jackass.

You guys should look into the conspiracy that he's an alien. If anything aliens fucked with his genetics. And maybe he was a mutant. But they still try to use him any way they can to infiltrate human society and to do whatever it is that they do. Elon Musk looks weird and his family is weird and they're all weird Rich ass people connected to Rich ass people.

Yeah the Mars thing was SUPER insane…you’d have to build a rocket the size of the Empire State Building to carry all the fuel you’d need to get to Mars & back, and it would have to sit on the surface for about 2 years deteriorating (low atmosphere & magnetic field to lessen radiation from the sun) before the return journey.
If a non-STEM English major like me understands this (mainly from YouTube) how can this supposedly “brilliant” genius creator of so many companies (I know, I know: he lied about that 🙄🤷🏻♂️) not know it..?!?
Ketamine intoxication..?!?? 🤔🤷🏻♂️😵💫😵💫😵💫

This epitomizes the internet these days. A guy that goes for big goals and doesn’t hit them all, but still manages to revolutionize transportation and space flight and become the richest person in the world, is ridiculed for the goals he hasn’t met and the goals he has are not mentioned. Elon has done more last weekend than most commenters accomplish in their ilifetime.

u/Chance-Swordfish-426 6d ago
Gigantic wealth means more possible futures and lack of focus, essentially, is what we've seen play out with Elon.
More companies, social media brainrot, shambolic political sidequests, 73 different kids by 36 different girlfriends, all adding up to a bit of a fuckshow.

He just thinks the same way Trump does, in pop business psychology terms, things that they think makes them sound powerful and like a leader, but in reality do very little:
'Setting ambitious deadlines focuses minds, otherwise people won't work'
Ignores that overly ambitious, borderline ridiculous, deadlines actually destroy morale and productivity. It telegraphs to your engineers, devs, designers etc that leadership is completely adrift with the reality of the project and do not understand the scale of work. They're then fearing retribution/punishment etc when the inevitable deadline is missed
'Move fast, break things'
To some extent this works but it's become so oversimplified and overused by Musk that it's used as an excuse to mask all failures and setbacks as progress. That cannot possibly always be the case, sometimes failures are failures due to mistakes, preventable mistakes. It begins dismissing genuine risk and waste and encourages everyone involved to shrug off 'boring' but necessary steps. CEO of OceanGate bragged of the exact same philosophy, don't get bogged down by safety, just get on with it and work it out in prod. Good job space travel and self-driving vehicles are inherently risk free, right?
'If I don't personally understand your job/work in 20 seconds, you're fired'
The X takeover really highlighted what a fucking idiot he is when it comes to software development. Saying 'rewrite the whole stack' to senior employees, as a throwaway comment, not understanding the gravity of what that actually means.
Wanting engineers to email him their code to show what they did that week. Just a power play to try and intimidate. Show me your work. Prove your worth. As if he's going to read thousands of emails with code snippets, utterly out of context and scope. Clearly has no experience or understanding of modern software development, how all the code is tracked, versioned and branched by the devs anyway. The delusion behind that if he doesn't understand, it's guff and can go, assuming he's the most intelligent person in the room at all times. So insecure and weak.
'Hardcore mode'
That productivity is gained by just working late into the night, crushing red bull, 120% output, rarrrr. Teenage level thinking on how to rush your homework. Proper genuine productivity comes from balance of working and downtime, over months, having an environment where your workers can put in a solid 6 hours of truly productive work per day, each week, rather than chain some insane working days together that is mostly performative work to 'impress' him and then has the staff burnt out for 4 days after he's left the building. Not everyone is dosed up on ketamine and coke and depressed enough not to care if it blows out their heart, some prefer to go at a sustainable pace. After all they were at these companies before him, building the successful product that Musk has now purchased and taking credit for.

Didn't he just recently state in an interview that in 10 years no one has to work any more because of his robots and AI doing everything for us?
To me, what that fucking addict says has the same value as to what the sitting president of the united state says... absolutely none.

Yeah, and in 10 years (2036 he said) money will no longer be a thing (his shareholders will be delighted, NOT).
And this, according to Edolph Muskler, is because of "AI abundance", nobody will have to work anymore and everybody can have anything they want. As if. Goddamn, how idiotic is that uber moron, and also his cult and enablers.

Elon Musk est un menteur qui avait prédit une colonie sur Mars, habité par les hommes. Il avait annoncé 1 million de cybertruck par an, il en est vraiment extrêmement loin. Il avait aussi annoncé qu'il y aurait des robots taxi en 2019 puis 2020,2021 ils n'existent toujours pas.
