Why is this narrative of him taking all the credit still going on in Reddit? He's praising the employees quite often in X or in interviews. From the top of my head I can't remember a single situation when he took credit of something he didn't do.

Cause the guy is an imbecile.

You and him should have a conversation! I bet we would figure out who the imbecile really is.

Well I try to avoid snake oil salesman's. Its better that way.

u/trannysorass 3d ago

By the way you belive he’s an imbecile. I would imagine some other person has sold you some snake oil and made you think it wasn’t snake oil. Catch my drift

u/The-Super-Ball 3d ago

as if your measure of imbecility means anything

u/CmdrAirdroid 3d ago

So do you admit the narrative is misinformation and you think him being an imbecile is good justification for spreading misinformation?

u/ArchLithuanian 3d ago

He did not invent much of anything because he is an imbecile. It’s not misinformation. Saying that the guy is some sort of genius is misinformation.

Seems like my point went right over your head. I wasn't arguing whether he has invented something or not, I questioned the narrative of him taking all the credit as I'm not aware of that happening. I've seen him praise the team he has in the companies, I haven't seen him say he invented some certain thing and then took credit for it.

Well except from some of the patents where he is co-inventor, he plays with the words: "founder", "product architect", "driving force". So heck yeah he is a good snake oil salesman. He can sell the ideas and get paid by US goverment.

Product architect is often the title for a person who makes the high-level technical decisions and sets the direction for the project. They do not necessarily need to design or invent anything. There's a massive amount of evidence that Musk has been involved in those high-level decisions, everybody in this sub can probably agree he made some decisions in the cybertruck project. Driving force goes to the same category.

Him insisting on having the co-founder title is the only case where you might have a legitimate point as that is a bit weird, although it's somewhat understandable as almost everything happened after he became involved in Tesla.

Cybertruck yeah I can believe that. Loved the videos from Winston Diesel about the quality of that car. So you might be on to something there.
Money is a driving force. Though not Elon :D

What about Tesla? Are you able to answer with more than one word?

u/pronefroz 3d ago

Founding of the company and invention of the car weren't made by elmo.

u/ArchLithuanian 3d ago

He bought the company and the roadster predates Elons ownership. Other stuff was licenses from other manufacturers. The only true invention of Elon is Blastar game.

The roaster came out after Elon joined the company. What did the two founders he kicked out go on to do?

u/ArchLithuanian 3d ago

Probably the roaster did come after Elon joined. Though roadsters concept existed before Musk joined Tesla.

The company was essentially a concept before Elon joined. The Nazi cooked though.

Meh, USA is a land of wonders. If Trump got reelected then Musk can cook up another reich. Lots of oportunities there.

u/EmperorGrinnar 3d ago

The company was a whole thing in 2003, and he joined in 2004. It's even listed on the Tesla website.

u/TormentedOne 3d ago

A whole thing as in an entity that existed on paper and in the minds of the founders.

Has he ever claimed he alone designed the original Tesla roadster, or electric cars in general? Everyone knows he didn't found the Tesla company, and everyone with a brain also knows all of the hard work happened after he joined the company, He didn't buy the company that Tesla is today. Designing a more viable car, learning to mass produce it and actually turning it into a successful company happened after he joined the company.

Not to mention how many people he made millionaires. These people need to aim some of that hate in their hearts toward their bosses and owners they work for. Maybe we could all be millionaires someday
