I think it’s important to remember that musk has never actually done anything to innovate the companies he’s been a part of. He didn’t create PayPal, he just bought his way in and made a series of dumb suggestions. He didn’t create Tesla, he bought Tesla right after they had fine tuned their models, and then he made a series of changes that likely resulted in a worse product.

Elon Musk is not a good businessman, he’s just rich and has a habit of purchasing profitable companies. Anyone could do this with his wealth. I’m not even really convinced that he’s offered many technical ideas or designs for any of his companies, as it seems that would be the first thing he would mention every single time someone brought up one of his companies.

Yes the world would be a better place if people looking to profit in the world didn’t have to ensure that their products were safe, regulated, and taxed appropriately. Business owners should just be able to make their own rules.

Nah man I’d say that shit it stupid too. It’s difficult to build a lithium mine in the United States for pretty good reasons, especially surrounding regulation and safety.

My parents spent most of their time getting drunk and trying to be 18 again. I wouldn’t really call that a good setup for their kids.

Capitalism necessitates that the product and the profit are always the most important thing. We’ll never really get rid of this issue until we remove the profit motive, and we’ll never really see the full view of capitalism without accepting that these corporations don’t care about their workers or their customer base at all. They never will, because that doesn’t impact profit. They will feign empathy and sincerity until they have met their quarterly profit goal, and the public will clap and say “wow, finally somebody fights for us!” And continue to consume.

Ah yes, the great American Bengal tiger. Our symbol of obedience and power. A cultural cornerstone you might say.

In the US we take like four to six years of Spanish and walk away with “donde estas la biblioteca” and “donde esta el baño.”

Hell I took the j&j vaccine right around when it was released to the public and I’m still kicking. Doctor says I’m healthy and everything.

But I’m also a paid actor and I’m lying and I actually grew a third arm that only reacts to the soundtrack from the Scott Pilgrim movie so take this with a grain of salt.
