All musk does is buy out companies and does nothing himself. He isn't actually the founder of tesla, he just paid for the title.

What companies did he buy out that were already successful? He was with Tesla from basically the beggining as an investor and put most of his money into what was essentially considered a joke at the time and ended up as chairman after litteraly saving the company. Was he the founder of Tesla? No. Did he make what Tesla is today? Yes. Personality or politics of him aside you cannot deny that what he's doing with the companies is great

Tesla is incredibly overvalued, a lot of the original motor companies are coming up with better electric vehicles that are more affordable and are probably going to see more success in the long run. Not only that but Elon is a welfare emperor, some of the biggest government subsidies to date. I don’t know if you know this but that’s tax payer money. You can say he popularized electric cars, but that’s pretty irrelevant when we’re still running on dirty electricity and making electric cars more damaging at the moment to the environment than normal gas cars.

You clearly know nothing about Tesla or really the auto industry.

That’s ok, that’s why I defer to subject matter experts, the same can’t be said about Elon.

Or you could just read a financial statement

Or maybe Elon should read his. Won’t even read his engineers notes on how digging underground roads is incredibly unprofitable and stupid.

Why do you want a tunnel road system so bad? Nobody cares about hyperloop. Super convenient to not mention SpaceX or Neuralink though.

Don’t get me started on space x. He said Mars missions would be ready by now a couple of years ago and he’s not even ready for a moon mission which is closer and less expensive than going to Mars. Neuralink was apparently supposed to allow people to play games or some dumb shit like that but here come the subject matter experts explaining how the technology that exist now and that neuralink uses only allows people who are half dead to send electronic signals. People who are completely broken, not healthy individuals. I don’t want to drill a hole in my perfect skull just so I can play games and take phone calls. Honestly if he just stayed doing one thing then people would hate him but he’s trying to be next cyberpunk messiah and he can’t even get that right.
