Holy crap, this man does not have an original thought in his head does he?
He thinks he'll become the next Musk by emulating the next Musk. Only problem is, he skipped steps 1-10 which involve owning a company (X.com) that another merges with (Confinity) which becomes a huge company (Paypal) that gets bought out by a massive company (Ebay).
Then you can start acting like a massive asshole while throwing money at everything.
Unfortunately, Spez doesn't realize steps 1-10 exist, and thinks he can just treat everyone like shit and have people think (at least for a while) that he's a genius. Also forgets about steps 11-200 which is to surround yourself with brilliant people that can build your shit so you become more rich. Then you can become the asshole everyone hates.
Sadly Spez is on step 200+ without the cash from steps 1-199 and has surrounded himself by "yes men" instead of brilliant people that know what the fuck they are doing, which leads him to build whatever next big think like Twitter was will be.
You forgot step 0... Have parents who own an emerald mine so you have money to play with and do what you want
I was going to include that, however in my literal minute of searching him, I couldn't find a verified source. I will admit, I didn't try ~~very hard~~ at all so I may have just overlooked it.
But yes, he needs step 0 as well!
Does Elon Musk count as a verified source?

I have doubts about his judge of character. If he had any part of the hiring process for Reddit's mobile or video dev teams then he needs a reality check.
