      What’s this we crap? He’s always been a nepo baby who head hunts industry talent and then utterly destroys their work with demands that no sane person with common sense would ask for.

      I believed he was smart and innovative when I first heard of him. But then he opened his mouth and I called him for what he was way back then.

      I thought most people finally started to see him for what he is back when that Thai soccer team were trapped in the cave, and Musk was throwing one of his first public temper tantrums. He called that one innocent person assisting with the rescue a pedophile because they criticized Musk’s preposterous idea to invent a mini sub to rescue them.

      He is a racist, bigoted, petulant man-child. Oh, and definitely a whiney little removed.

        Same here.

        Dude is named Elon Musk and that is his actual head. The world is not a kind place to people with those attributes and absolutely none of that is his fault. I was predisposed to like him until I realized he was that guy.

        The guy who talks out his ass while trying to make science jokes. Fractals. Dark matter. Mitochondria. Dihydrogen monoxide. Borg nanoprobes. He’s simply educated just barely enough to know some terms to throw around.

        He’s the guy who slaps his pencil down onto his desk 10 minutes into the exam because it was so easy, he’s done, and everyone else in the class needs to know it. \ Of course there was a long form question on the back of the paper that he didn’t solve because he didn’t listen to or read the instructions, or even think to flip over the paper. That’s actually hilarious when you realize that this is that guy’s MO. He never learns from mistakes like this. He can’t. The test was unfair. He solved those first two answers so fast he should get extra credit. The professor is a vampire who is against him because he solves her exams too quickly. Dihydrogen monoxide!

        I’m so sick of that guy.

        The cave incident finally made most people realize that a) this guy has no idea of what a cave is, b) in a situation where children’s’ lives are in danger he needs to make it all about himself (and let the children die while they wait for a sub that won’t work), and c) where someone in a capacity to actually help in the rescue points out that the Sub Idea is incredibly stupid and that they shouldn’t wait for the sub that will immediately jam up the best route into the cave, he’ll lose his shit.

        But mainly - dude has no idea of what a cave is. Narcissists are a dime a dozen, but most “visionaries” should have some inkling of how caves work.
