  • He's just a real fucking melt. His worshippers see him as some kind of tech superhero, but he's really somewhere between Lex Luthor and Trump.

    I'll never understand this. To be fair, a lot of tech blogs etc. are also completely uncritically pushing that narrative, but still. Most of his 'ideas' are either shit, or not actually his ideas, or both. Not to mention that he is constantly seen as the personal embodiment of everything that his companies have built, as if the umpteen actual engineers working overtime were merely his little helpers.

    What drives me really crazy though is his Hyperloop and even more his 'Loop' bullshit. I understand why it's popular in the US, it can't get much more American than the 'Loop', but the number of 'journalists' parroting the claimed benefits and numbers without any critical thinking at all is insane.

    This is all completely independent of any character issues he might have, those are on top of this.

  • surely as the guy figure heading this and running the show he gets ultimate credit for the success and failures, the same is true of any company...

    i also doubt that his "little helpers" are putting the efforts they are putting in out of the goodness of their hearts and are being rewarded for their work otherwise they'd just leave..

    is he claiming that he could do what he does without his employees?

    These cunts will do absolutely anything to avoid just building some trains
