Comments are just full of people who want to bring down Musk for the most trivial things without acknowledging the amount of good he has put forth.

FYI, I don't own a Tesla or own their stock or own any stock in Musk owned companies. I don't even follow his twitter account.



That’s because you can start a buncha stuff that ends up great and still be a raging narcissistic man-child.

And a whole lot of people want to just overlook everything because “he makes a lot of money” or “I like this tech thing”


What are your thoughts on EVs and SpaceX?


Or buy it off someone else after they start it, and then use them for non-consensual buggery (in the metaphorical sense, since only one of them is blonde enough for Musk's tastes).


This reads off as really salty because of how you are trivializing it.


All I said was the guy bought the company then shafted the other guys he bought it off... Added a bit of colour for my own amusement :)


I would make these kinds of comments about any CEO who comes into a large tech company and makes the engineers print out diffs on paper.

It is ridiculous, and frankly I would be willing to wager that fewer people would defend this practice if this were a different CEO at a different company.


When it comes to work place environment I have not heard a single good thing about Musk. And that is what is being discussed here.


> without acknowledging the amount of good he has put forth.

and what that would be , exactly? Come on, list the good.


Ha, there's at least as many fanboys here. It's not a lopsided discussion.

In this particular discussion? Do you see the amount of vitriol? I am genuinely surprised to see the behavior in this thread. As if Elon Musk were some sort of rationality time-bomb implanted in the majority of those commenting.
