Because he is not your run-of-the-mill tech billionaire.
He’s an asshole, yes, but you don’t see Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos or anyone else make the kind of big moves he does.

Big moves like losing billions on Twitter? Or producing an ugly truck that does nothing it was promised to do for twice the promised price? Or getting a government contract to build 50 THOUSAND electric vehicle chargers nationwide then firing literally everyone working on actually building them?

Big moves like founding SpaceX

Because they don’t chatter in like a sub-70 IQ Harpy wanting attention?
Musk is a fraud. He was never accepted into a PhD program. He lied about his physics degree and was awarded one while not attending after daddy gave money to the school. He doesn’t know shit about science, engineering, or literally anything except how to be an edgelord.
Dude is a fucking loser and companies succeed in spite of him.

What about it? Elon just owns it, nothing more. Man is a fucking moron. Just look at twitter

Which Wlon has contributed nothing. He isn’t an engineer, he isn’t a scientist, he doesn’t even understand free body diagrams. He is fucking stupid.

the miracle of Spacex is Gwen Shotwell managing elon so well that he hasn’t fucked it up yet.

Ah yes. None of those others listed founded aerospace companies.

Because he owns a bunch of shit. That’s literally it. Nobody would give a single shit about him if he didn’t have money. I saw it put very eloquently like this:
Elon Musk is so poor that all he has is money.

his Twitter feed is full of things that would make you turn your head and act as it you don’t hear anything if it came from a random person on the subway. the only difference between this guy and the “crazy people” you see outside is that this guy has money he doesn’t deserve.

Damn that’s a good line.
Ajen@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
His money gives him influence and power. That’s the real reason.
