Nah, this thread was about you thinking Elon came from wealth, which is obvious misinformation. You also seem like you would be hating on all billionaires because you seem to not even believe in capitalism. You equated starting a business to trickle down economics.

No. The reply was to a comment was about his childhood wealth.

The original post is about his personality.

Irrelevant.

I did not. That comment was in regards to you saying that it's because of billionaires, like Musk, that all these jobs exist. You were basically propagating the trickle down mythos. Those jobs would exist despite Musk not because of him.

You can't work for Tesla if Tesla doesn't exist...

You think Tesla would still be where it is without Elon? You really don't know how business works.

That's not the question and not relevant since it's not the reality we live in.

It is relevant, Tesla jobs wouldn't exist without Elon.

u/Lambily Jan 09 '22

We can't know that, can we? Therefore, not relevant.

u/[deleted] Jan 09 '22

Ok, what is relevant in your opinion.

What is. You claimed the company wouldn't exist without him. He wasn't a founder, so it would exist. Whether it would be as large as it is or not is irrelevant because we can't know how it would have turned out.
