      Okay, of course it seems to be different with Musk, but the methods of his management are worryingly similar.
      For example, he fired 80% of his staff at Twitter (X), especially the part responsible for checking (censoring) the content posted. Now Musk is of course profiting from this himself because he can, for example, spread propaganda from the Kremlin unhindered.

      Most of his wealth is in Tesla shares, that still seem crazily overvalued. He promises a miracle every year, it never happens, but a lot of dumb money keeps the faith. Funny when every year, you hear him talking about something amazing happening "next year". Many multi-billionaires have lost everything, Elon is now all in on Trump. He loves a gamble, but if he loses this one, he could join the list of bankrupt former multi-billionaires.

      I used to be on it, and used to get a lot of benefit from it. I followed my centrist line there, and had some good discussions/arguments. Then Musk came along. He made it so that almost nothing one said was read by anyone unless you paid. Because he made it clear he was on the far right, anyone who didn't sympathise with his extremist views opted out of paying. And so its migration to the extreme became a spiral. Musk made claims of being an advocate of free speech. My posts had a tendency towards conciliatory statements. One day I found that I had been banned for life. I can only think that an algorithm picked up a criticism I had made of Musk.

      Nobody "invented" Tesla. What Elon did was to invent a whole new concept of manufacturing motor cars. He also put every cent he had into the business and that gave financial investors confidence to also support Tesla.

      @davidtuer5825 Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning invented the EV we know as a Tesla. They had exhausted all their personal revenue sources to develop the prototype and test the market, but were in need of the funds to bring it to mass production. That is where Musk joins the story. Why would you say "no one invented Tesla", when I stated Musk did not invent *the* Tesla, ie the electric car? Eberhard and Tarpenning invented the product Musk invested in. Tesla ( no article 'the' preceeding) is the brand name of the world's most famous electric vehicle, the name from the immigrant scientist who famously invented the Tesla ball and who went toe to toe with Westinghouse in an effort to bring free electricity to the American people. As for your claim that Musk spent every penny is interesting; echoes of PR campaigns past. Musk sold Pay Pal to fund his buy-in and his CEO status with Tesla. It seems to me his penchant for sleeping at his office is a symptom of his aversion to paying property taxes...any taxes, really....

      Look at SpaceX and compare it with Blue Origin. One difference though, Elon was pretty damn rich but no Billionaire.He put ALL his wealth (earned wealth) into Tesla. But back to Space. Both companies were formed by men successful in other spheres. At that time Jeff Bezos was by far the richer of the two. He certainly didn't commit his everything to Blue Origin but he did start with the same ambitions, well so far as getting a rocket ship off the ground is concerned. SpaceX has outstripped Blue Origin in successful innovation and development. SpaceX has also out stripped Boeing and SLS, the two oldest and most experienced companies in that field. Was that also on the shoulders of others? Elon is the Chief Engineer of SpaceX.

It highlights the essence of cynicism, portraying it as a perspective that values material worth above intrinsic or intangible qualities. This keen observation by Wilde brings to light a common tendency in our society to prioritize the quantifiable over the qualitative, challenging us to reflect on what truly matters in life.

Essentially Musk is not a complete person but these deficiencies are not allowed steer the wheel with most people.

    I feel funny to be compelled to say this about Times Radio, but when it comes to EM too many media outlets are following EM's marketing. He bought Tesla, and became grand poobah over there through the court system. It's not what it was anymore either. Imagine a spoiled rich child who will do anything to get a toy, but pretty much destroys it in a surprising time frame.
