Elon is not the founder of Tesla. He sued the actual founders to bury that fact.
much like many of his other "projects", he's not the founder. He bought it with his inheritance, then trashed the product.
Actually, Elmo didn't found Tesla.
Didn’t he in fact sue the actual founders to be allowed to be called a founder?
I thought he paid extra to be able to tell that lie.
I believe the lawsuit was settled. I don’t really remember the details, but sounds super-Musky that that would be part of the terms of the settlement.
I replace your reality with my own, using the legal system.
*money through the legal system
Given his history, if he had to sue someone to be able to use a title, it's probably not a legitimate title.
also how could steve jobs be visionary if he needed glasses
That nickname is an insult to compassionate and intelligent muppets.
i prefer Felon Stank
Elon musk didn't found tesla. He's also an idiot nepo baby, not a visionary.
Elon to my knowledge hasn't been the founder of a single project he's been part of. He's bought everything.
Yep, he's your typical parasitic orbiting-usurper, buzzing around people of talent until the opportunity presents itself for him to steal all their work while they're busy making the future happen.
Steve Jobs was exactly the same. Wozniak made the Apple 1 a reality and before that, he used Wozniak's discarded Pong PCBs to get a job at Atari. At Atari he was just a talentless socially domineering psychopath doing shakedown on the company's nerd for his lunch money.
When assigned a task to create a cost-optimized version of the game Breakout, were he was offered 100$ for each TTL chip he could optimize out of the design. So he went to his "friend" Wozniak, who managed to remove 50 chips from the design. Steve Jobs made 5000$ (in 1976 money) and he "let" Wozniak have 375$ of this. All jobs did is the menial work of etching the PCBs sketched by Wozniak and solder some of them.
Steve Jobs and Elon Musk are truely despicable pieces of shit and I say as a society, and for the good of everyone, we should use the dystopian surveillance capitalism to find all people like them and box them right out so we don't have to suffer such parasitic psychopaths.
Unlike Elon, I feel like Steve Jobs legitimately had skills. Of course, it's completely despicable of him to scoop more than 10x the profit compared to Woz in that example. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Jobs was a talented asshole, but Elon is just a no-talent asshole.
I think it safe to assume Steve Jobs simply stole absolutely everything else he got credit for. As a powerful person in the organization, other people simply came up to him with their ideas hoping he would bestow on them rewards and he just stole their shit and then made them silent about it. This is how it works in nearly all corporation, whoever has power just legally steals everyone's work and crushes anyone that complains about it. I filed a patent where I work and I didn't even get a full week's pay for it. Not even a paid vacation either, just a simple bonus, my request for unpaid time off was also denied.
I don't think Linus Thorvalds is either very stylish or really an asshole. He might be a bit short fused, but not an asshole.
A bit asshole I see.
Eh, he'd probably agree that he is a bit of an asshole.
Eh - I mean, I'm not an asshole all the time, but I can be occasionally. I'm also not very stylish.
Wait...am I Linus Thorvalds? Nope.
Gives musk too much credit
Way too much. FAR from founder, fucking Nepo baby that acts like we're all shitty because we weren't born with a silver butt plug.
Musk bought it not founded it. There needs to be a whole nother column
Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning are the founders.
Instead of having them as the face of American EV innovation, we have some guy who's talent is being born with money and then getting lucky in a business venture.
There's hundreds or thousands of these companies which were founded by innovative and creative people that were bought out and absorbed into some giant corporation so that it doesn't ever have to compete with anybody.
Replace "Visionary" with "Infamous" and musk photo with that one goth photo that he was trying to hide.
I came here to point out that Musk didn't found Tesla, but I see that this is basically the entire topic of the comnents section 😂
Oh my God is Linux pronounced Line-ux?
On the chance this isn't a joke, no it isn't, Linus has said so himself
Apparently, Linus' name is pronounced like how people normally pronounce Linux, according to his Wikipedia page.
Pretty sure Elmo isn't one of the founders of Tesla. And calling him a visionary is pushing it.
I would have figured the three Linuses would have been like:
Enthusiastic loud mouthed young Linus arguing with Tannenbaum.
Aggressive Linus with no filter at all slapping maintainers upside the head.
Aggressive Elder Linus with a personal insult filter applied still slapping maintainers upside the head.
I laughed too hard
You all don’t know what you’re talking about. Elon absolutely is a visionary. Who else could come up with the new Tesla Roadster with rocket thruster package (source)? Now, actually brining that vision to market, yeah Elon might not be your guy. Now that I think about it, his visions are more like delusions. Maybe let’s call him a delusionary.
Also gonna put this here if you would like to read more of his delusions. https://elonmusk.today/

Hint: :q!
