This fucking loser also lies to people that he’s the reason OpenAI exists LMFAO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWr-DA5Wjfw (“Elon Musk on Sam Altman and ChatGPT: I am the reason OpenAI exists”)
He was and still is the largest contributor of funds when OpenAI was founded, he is also one of the founders.
This is not to say that OpenAI wouldn’t exist without him but he did contribute massively to its economy.
Oh, I’m not discrediting him. I’m just pointing out that he gives all the credit to himself like he always does with everything he touches.
Altman’s views on melon musk also don’t speak well about himself: https://youtu.be/L_Guz73e6fw?t=4925
Your attitude, though. Slather on that hate nice and thick. Was it good for you? Make you feel better now that you have someone to hang?
Incase anyone wanted to know the timeline:
Tesla was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning as Tesla Motors. The company’s name is a tribute to inventor and electrical engineer . In February 2004, via a $6.5 million investment, Elon Musk became the company’s largest shareholder. He became CEO in 2008.
Elon is a bitch.
There are a lot of reasons to dislike Musk, this is not one of them.
When Elon came on board Tesla their business plan was to buy existing super cars and an existing electric drive train and then convert the super cars.
This was all going to be done by hand in a workshop. They would do dozens of cars a year.
Without Elon that’s what they would be doing, he was behind the transition to building their own vehicles on their production lines and volumes comparable to normal manufacturers.
That’s why he won his lawsuit to be listed as a founder.
No, that’s not how it went down. Watch this interview with them: https://youtu.be/eblPwXFb7TE
They had the full plan laid out (start with expensive sports cars, then step by step move into mass market) and got Musk involved using it as a proposal.
The reason to dislike him in this instance is that he takes ALL the credit for the company’s success, never mentioning these two or Tesla’s beginnings
By the sounds of it all they brought to it was the name and maybe some technical knowhow. Because everything else about their business seems to have been abandoned. The only way to get further off from “we’ll make electric conversions with preexisting parts” is to abandon electric cars as a whole.
He may not deserve all of the credit, but it sounds like he deserves something north of 90% of it.
Muskrat just takes the credit and drums up some hype. I wonder what his newest unfeasible project will be? I bet it’s something safe and reliable!
Musk has consistently proven himself to be a driving force behind the sustained success of every company under his leadership. Disparaging attitudes towards Elon seem to follow popular opinion rather than fact. While there’s plenty of justifiable criticism, the points frequently echoed here don’t contribute meaningfully to constructive discourse.
Edit: The prevalence of downvotes simply underscores my argument. How does this platform distinguish itself from Reddit, when it harbors a similar degree of negativity and concerted downvoting targeted at individuals participating in earnest conversation?
Honestly though who gives a shit about Musk though? Do you personally admire him? He’s a rich guy that is good at managing, if that’s something to admire then I understand your comment, otherwise it’s just ball riding
good at managing
About that, have you seen twitter lately?
It seems like his best management decisions have been to not touch anything.
Yeah, the reddit hate train is here. Choo Choo! We can’t hang people anymore because that’s not PC, but we sure as hell still have the hate for it! Let’s worship people one day and then burn them the next, blaming our disillusionment on someone else rather than on our own illusions!
Salty Elon anti-simps are everywhere and will always downvote things. That isn’t really this platform’s fault.
Big differences between reddit and here are:
- The points don’t matter (and the rules are made up)
- You don’t get banned from communities for wrongthink
- Fuck u/spez
Those are all great reasons for using Lemmy instead. Oh, plus the relative privacy.
