IMHO, probably not; musk seems interested in his own finances, and on pitting people against minorities so that they don’t see him stealing from them.

      He wasn’t slapping them together even metaphorically. He injected huge amounts of cash that enabled the capable people to do their jobs and which allowed the company to grow. Imagine your job getting a huge donation from someone and then that person went around acting like they were sitting in the cubicle next to yours the whole time and even claimed some of your ideas were theirs.

      That’s it. He is a coinpurse that also happens to shout insane racist things on Twitter. Elon Musk is fucking dough-brained moron and one of the big problems with capitalism is how much having money makes it harder and harder to lose the more you have.

      Yeah, I get you

      I just didn’t want to give him the credit, that he is the actual genius behind the companies, like he always wants to present himself

      Because every time he talks about something, I at least know something about (like self-driving cars), I know, he is just talking shit and absolutely doesn’t know what the fuck he is talking about.

      So the sentence, that he, like he himself, slaps together cars, was the drop that brought me to that answer.

      Wasn’t really against you, I just don’t want to promote his wanted image of a genius inventor

          Well, he is just deeply narcissistic and looks for validation, like you say.

          I don’t know, if there will ever be a moment, that he thinks he’s successful enough to earn love.

          But he is also an adult. And even though he has his emotional problems, he is a very shitty parent to his trans child. And just forwarding all the hate, because he can’t handle his feelings isn’t acceptable.
          He still has a shitload of money and just with that enough power to move things.

          Which is dangerous, when he can influence geo politics that much - see StarLink in war or near war scenarios, and just recently the US election.

          I actually would really like to know, why he is feeling so insecure and needs all this validation, and with what success he would say, that’s it, now I’m fine.
