Poll: Elon Musk - who or what is he?

[FredVB]

There’s no Jesus, god or Antichrist. We have a better shot with Musk.

I know of historical evidence of Jesus, known as Yeshua at that time. There is great support of the Bible in any case. What evidence do you have that there was no Jesus ever? And God is real and there is no proof that you could show that God is not. More relevant to the topic, what evidence is there that Elon Musk would save the world? Resources are being used up more which he won't stop as plans are pursued to send people away to start on a new world elsewhere. I don't really think that would succeed while it seems the world really will be wrecked more.

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.

He is motivated. Most people are not. He is not a genius. He is like Feynman. He puts in the work to study, and he pursues his interests. The effort and focus are kind of power but are not genius. At a time like this when there are many scattered bits of knowledge a man like Mr. Musk has come of age. He puts together the knowledge and makes the effort. Most people don't believe in themselves and don't try, but he does. That's how he starts things like Space-X and like Paypal.

There are geniuses. I am not denying that there are. He is more of a technologist and a person who is able to focus and pursue his interests, and he has an engineering background.

There is this that sums up the essential things.

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

I have my Fred Bquick account there on Twitter, I hope Elon Musk does not mess Twitter up so much it will be lost. I am thinking of backups to have, for anything like that happening.

It is not wise to trust Elon Musk for saving the world or anything so grand. Others will make more meaningful advances.

I'm sure all 10% of them.

A genius. A handsome man.

Intelligent as well and practical.

His promotion of first principles is what society badly needs in order to improve itself.

I hear his IQ is pretty impressive.

You gonna buy one of his EVs?

Well if I had no choice in the matter.

Sure I would.

So he's a genius, but not his products?

 

[AnnaCzereda]

Well... the way he treated his employees says a lot about him. Putting it into words here would appear as *************...... So I will only ask: Who in their right mind would want to work for this guy?

 

[Twilight Hue]

So he's a genius, but not his products?

If he applies first principles learning and applications, I'm confident his products will be notably superior to anything put out there.
