I just wanted to say I think elon musk is the most successful conman, vaporware peddler,  advertiser and scammer in history.

Anyone want to express their own view on the wunderkind?

I've only been peripherally following his recent escapades and since I've never used twitter, that whole mess has passed me by without involvement. I hear that Tesla's share place has nosedived despite increasing the number of vehicles it has sold. Guessing that gaining twitter hasn't increased his fortunes any.

Just another guy with too much money.

He's creepy.

All billionaires are creepy, with the possible exception of Warren Buffet.

We're both South Africans (although I wasn't born here) but he is a bit strange. So am I but that's beside the point.  Wink

Don't really know the full story, but I used to hear a lot about how Tesla was subsidized by the government....
Of course, I recall Obama subsidizing several Wind, Solar & EV companies that went belly up....

And of course, Musk has proven that Twitter was getting government subsidies before he took it over....

If that's the case, then he's no more a con man than any other entrepreneur....

Conman?  Entrepreneur? 



Creepy?  Yes, but a dubious billionaire.

I don't understand why people dislike him.

Teslas are cool cars, SpaceX is a rocket company these are good businesses


What he's accomplished on twitter is incredible. he broke the back of Silicon valley woke culture you can already see the change in the way people discuss issues

This is when I started to dislike him.







Really had no idea who he was before these crypto scams. Wouldn't know a Tesla if I ran into it.
