I don’t know what to think about Elon tbh. He seems like a pretty decent guy but now that he’s the richest man alive I have to wonder if he isn’t compromised or will soon be compromised.
hes really not tony stark. he got lucky with being a part of paypal hes not some crazy inventor genius.
the 'hyper loop' is utter buffoonery that he pretends isnt a 100 year old failed idea.
his concept of an electric jet is totally insane and not based at all in reality.
his idea that site to site rocket transport could be a feasible transport mode is total bullshit that falls apart on the slightest bit of prying.
he started an electric car company off of huge amounts of government help and started a space company off of huge amounts of government help. most of what he is doing is based off perpetuating this myth that hes some kind of ultra nicola tesla.
An idea that failed 100 years ago is not the same as a 100 year old failed idea. Technology improves, and we can build things now using 100 year old ideas that failed then but are feasible now.
Two examples:
The continuously variable transmission.
Rockets that land themselves.
His biggest strength is not being a genius like you said. But he is willing to bet it all on the business ideas in order for them to succeed. He has been on the brink of collapse many times in the past. Other ceos just try to line their own pockets with gold, wealth doesn’t stoke his ego. The success of his personal mission is all that matters. He is autistic af.
Sure, never really said he was though. I think he's just a dude, probably Autistic, who really, really seems to like the idea of Mars colonies and Star Trek. I can respect that. Hell of a lot better than the other rich people we got saddled with. 99% of em just wanna use their wealth to control and manipulate.

"I don't trust him" is a huge improvement on how we feel about Google and Apple.
I dunno, I kinda like him. From what I can tell from the outside and the interviews with Joe Rogan and what not, he seems fairly well intentioned?
He seems like the autistic kid that makes a functioning engine just cause, he was bored and could.

Big true my man.
I have this fantasy in my head where he brings Texas to Mars and declares independence from the Globohomo Earth Alliance.
That's the plot of a book. Elon was probably influenced by it
Yup, he's making his way off this rock within his lifetime.
Objectively, the chances of him succeeding is slim. Landing on Mars? Sure. 1 Million people? Not happening.
The Outer Space Treaty also makes Elon subject to US law on Mars. Which didn't stop him from giving it the middle finger.
If he breaks the law on Mars who is gonna come stop him? Space cops?
British law also applied to the 13 Colonies, yet...
Treaties don’t matter. Military superiority does.
He's going to be the ruler of mars. He already said mars would not follow earth laws.
I feel the same way but he gives off the impression of being based
Even when invited to say something bad about Trump on many occasions, he has never said a bad thing. I’ve seen this countless times.
He’s not necessarily based, but he is realistic. He doesn’t have time to play games.
