    I don’t understand things like this. He built a transaction company, a car company and a rocket/satellite company. And you’re here calling him dumb?

    Seems like everyone on Reddit think they’re smarter than him too.

      He bought his way into those companies. He didn’t start Tesla nor Paypal. And frankly he publicly says incredibly dumb shit all the time. That why people are calling him dumb.

      He co-built a website that was failing and was acquired by another company called Paypal, who then forced him out for having dumb ideas, and then he bought a car company two other people already founded and built up, and he also had the brilliant idea of “I am rich, what if I pay people to do space things”

      It doesn’t take genius to own things
