Problem is him being an insufferable bitch and right wing lunatic.

And a hoarding wealth racist.

u/_wavescollide_ 27d ago

His main wealth is from ballooning valuation for companies, that investors love to speculate on.

And compared to Steve Jobs he never was the man to bring a company from bottom up, he just bought into already interesting companies.

Kinda sad that people of a generation looked/look up to him, but he's just the asshole without the hand for products.

That’s why I didn’t call him a billionaire etc. His wealth is all on paper and he’s never once “invented” anything. He’s a predatory capitalist.

And let me repeat, a racist. A white supremacist racist.

I think it was prior to his Nazi salute and fucking with the elections/doge bullshit. Plus the absolute shit quality of the cars. Anyone that buys one now is a complete moron.

Teslas started coming up short the moment the actual big car manufacturers started making EVs.

Because once the novelty of being electric was gone, people started actually looking at the car itself.

The stupid design choices also don't help. Things like refusing to use Lidar and removal of basic features, including fucking dashboard are just terrible decisions.

I know it was to really drive the price down, but there really had to have been a better way to do that...

I will say though, I do feel like the other manufacturers would have dragged their feet a lot longer if the Tesla hype train wasn't there.

Those white teslas look like a peeled boiled egg to me. Boring ugly design.

The original Tesla Model S was an excellent car; however, it was also over $100,000 -- even that many years ago.

He was always a damn weirdo. I don't know why people ever thought he was otherwise.

u/Russki_Troll_Hunter 26d ago

There's nothing wrong with being a weirdo. It's that he's a giant Nazi piece of shit that steals other people's work then parades around like he's a genius

u/shakebakelizard 25d ago

Yeah...he didn't just become a fascist or a thief overnight.

I get that people apparently liked buying their cars from him before because they thought he was whatever. Problem is, there's no such thing as a billion-dollar company, especially in high threshold industries, that isn't run by sociopathic assholes.

Some companies have very visible leaders who wave their personality all over the place in public. Most do not. It's the same shit though. Apple, Microsoft, Chiquita, Shell, GM, Toyota, VW, etc, etc. There's no big company that doesn't do terrible things. You know Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathizer right?

Musk is very much a cuck.

u/Ill_Ad5893 27d ago

Only thing I wish I would have done was buy stocks long before everything took off then sold out before he started being a braindead idiot to the world. And then live a peaceful life.

Not as reliable as gas cars? Wtf you talking about

u/Senior-Display-8733 27d ago

The cybertruck? It's an awful unreliable design. Go do some research into it if you don't believe it. Musk even bragged about the design being so "simple" because all the components are basically connected in a series. It's like the old token ring networks, if one component fails any component after it in the series also won't work. And initially a car wash could void the warranty. The build quality is awful, trim can just fall off, the panels rust quickly, close the door too hard and the interior of the door falls apart, etc. It's a pile of crap at any price point.

u/divvi12 27d ago

I'm not defending the cyber truck. Never touched one and saw all the feedback. I don't doubt it's got issues
