MODERATORS
Any nuanced opinions about Elon Musk here? 👀
Feel free to provide one. He seems to me to be a lunatic
When 7 billion people know when you are, the chances of pleasing everyone is close to absolute zero. He has character flaws. So do I. So do you. He also runs very important future forward companies. He helped curate collections of the best talent in the world to create great tech.
He is very good at the following things:
That is about as far as his skillset runs. As we've seen from twitter, when he doesn't have an entire layer of his organisation set up to run interference in him, he quickly runs companies into the ground. He has had zero original ideas.
He's also a dangerous alt-right racist nutjob.
So, this is what passes for nuance these days?
Yes except his character flaws make him a terrible fucking human. But you can keep trying to justify his behavior and beliefs just because you happen to like SpaceX or Tesla or whatever. Won’t fly with many of us.
That you think musk's character flaws are comparable to the average person's says more about you than it does him
The man's good at generating hype for his companies, I'll give you that. His blatant disregard for his employees' wellbeing, retweeting of antisemitic lies, manchild personality, and implicit support of far right ideology in general goes far beyond the average person's character flaws, however
