Poll: Elon Musk - who or what is he?

[Mock Turtle]

Probably little needs to be said over his takeover of twitter but the results are no doubt still not clear.

Elon Musk: Twitter users vote in favour of boss resigning

Twitter users have voted in favour of Elon Musk stepping down as the platform's chief executive after the billionaire ran a poll on his future. A total of 57.5% voted "yes" after Mr Musk asked his 122 million followers whether he should stand down.

 

[Estro Felino]

A genius. A handsome man.

 

[PoetPhilosopher]

I voted:

Genius
Jekyll and Hyde character
Needs to grow up

 

[Subduction Zone]

A flawed human being like all of us. At times he has delivered, but far too often, especially lately, what he delivers is far short of what he promised.

 

[The Kilted Heathen]

He's a con-artist, man-child, and modern day Thomas Edison.

 

[Ella S.]

Elon Musk is a war profiteer with inherited wealth that came from colonizing Africa and who profits off of the ingenuity of other people, taking credit for their work while having very little understanding of any of it.

He puts on a show of being a geek and having geeky interests to make himself look like the underdog, except geek culture is mainstream pop culture these days so he does this without any actual risk to himself. Most of his ideas about public transport and AI are totally absurd nonsense to anyone with any deep understanding of these fields.

I think he's more akin to Lex Luthor than Tony Stark.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

My choices aren't there:
Piece of ****; threat to public safety; liar; abusive; incompetent; charlatan.

I see Elon Musk as a genius, but lacking being particularly competent in his fields, but still knowing enough to be dangerous, and to play with markets and trends.

 

[Father Heathen]

Born into wealth and affluence and rode upon the coattails of others. His ego exceeds his intelligence.

 

[We Never Know]

My choices aren't there:
Piece of ****; threat to public safety; liar; abusive; incompetent; charlatan.

Don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel

 

[Yerda]

Cringy. Boring. Weird as hell.

 

[Altfish]

You missed ...

Con Man

As others have stated, your poll almost entirely uses antonyms of reality.
He was born into a rich family; was brought onboard with Tesla (by buying the lion's share of stock), and then took over the company (No, he did not create Tesla, and even the 2 guys who started the company were not the real genius engineers/physicists who actually created the innovative car design we all know and love).
Then, with standard right-wing bluster, said that he was for "free speech" as he blew too much money on Twitter, which he has since turned into an anti-free-speech, Fox News Wanna-Be.

So the polling choice you needed @Mock Turtle was, "Just another brain-dead, right-wing, 0.01%er schmuck"

 

[Guitar's Cry]

He's an elite and likely has been switched with a clone that's controlled by the lizard people.

 

[Secret Chief]

Piece of ****; threat to public safety; liar; abusive; incompetent; charlatan.

They're the ones I was looking for!

 

[The Hammer]

Here's the poll results. And a quip from Tom.

 

[Wildswanderer]

I don't see " Who cares?" as an option.
So I didn't vote.

I think that's the "Meh" option. That's typically indifference.

And what I voted.

The proof that the idea of US being anything like a meritocracy where hard work and talent get rewarded is a pipe dream. Money gets rewarded with more money, and you get accolades by taking the discoveries made by people beneath you.
