    Elon has done some impressive things

    The more I look into that, the more I question this.

    He has has bought companies that have done impressive things and tarnished nearly to the point of ruin all but one of them.

    He wasn’t the brainchild behind any of these products; he was, at most, the person who convinced venture capitalists to invest and the one who bargained with lawmakers to allow them.

    I’m increasingly seeing brilliant people who have dealt with him in person mentioning that he has quite sub-par reasoning skills, and we’re seeing more and more of that in the news.

      Well documented Elon literally hasn’t done anything impressive. His whole thing is buying into other companies and claiming to be the inventor/founder.

      America on all sides is woefully bad at bullshit detection. Anyone that constantly talks themselves up should be scrutinized relentlessly
