He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

@rodhilton: so much about he founding Tesla:

@princelysum @avedik @rodhilton I'm not a Elon fan but he did become the largest shareholder within a few months of the founding and started running it with usual, eh, light touch.. Founded 1 July 2003, Musk invests and becomes largest shareholder and chairman in February 2004.

With an investment of about $27 million, Musk became Tesla's main backer.

He expanded his financially based influence, and is said to have pushed first CEO Eberhard (2007) and finally CFO Tarpenning in 2008 out of with the desire to take complete control....

The bitterness still gnaws today....

Who knew - the way out of capitalism destroying the ecosphere is in fact NOT more capitalism.

China's so-called "communism", it can be argued, is just masked oligarchy & has been since Deng Xiaoping.
