From a former fan of Elon Musk, his biggest contribution to life is that he looked a lot less stupid before he started talking, therefore proving that light travels faster than sound.

The fact that he was fired as CEO due to genuinely mind-boggling incompetence, yet was able to get 178 million shows how f-d our system is.

Elon Musk is the Thomas Edison of our day.

“As useful as Anne Frank’s drum kit” 💀💀💀😵💀

"His only redeeming quality being his mortality" 😂

Elon single-handedly proved it: the meritocracy we keep hearing about doesn't exist.

He's the DJ Khalid of science

It's not a fanbase ... it's a cult

This reminds me of something my grandma used to say "if the rich were smart all our worldly problems would be resolved and if the poor were smart they wouldn't want to be rich"

People, me included, mistake him for a socially awkward genius, due to his various quirks displayed in interviews, or in his weird dances/outfits/etc.

The insults are top-tier. 🤣

For Musk the famous saying is very true: oh si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses (oh if you had kept your mouth shut, you would have remained a philosopher).

And worst of all he's one of the unfunniest human beings alive.

In our culture, the only thing you need to be considered a genius is money. It doesn't matter if you won it playing roulette, you're now a genius and people will hang on your every word. This is very unhealthy.

That is what I said for years now, and people stare at me in disbelief.

Wealthy people generally don’t take salaries, its not how money works as is explained in the video.

At some point a reasonable man would realize they're just the "money dude", not a goddamn space engineer.

In Germany we have a Giga factory near Berlin now. Since it opened he contaminated the drinking water of Berlin. The Insurance,all employers have to pay for working accidents, BG sued him for too many working accidents and bad safety in the factory. He pays 20% less then all other German carmakers and people only work there because there are no jobs in the region. He violates constantly construction rules of Germany building what he wants, where he wants. This lead to a permanent protesters camp in the woods close to Giga Germany with mord the 100 protesters living there permanently in tree houses in order to stop him from simply cutting down the forest. He tried to sack Union workers, which was later reversed by the courts and cost him lots of money , because Germanies unions and their representatives in Germany are protected by law. Lately, since the demand for Tesla vehicles stagnated he sacked 300 workers who worked for a contractor and he will sack 3000 by the end. All this will cost Tesla lots of money, because Germanies labour laws are strict and not like in the US. When he built the factory he therefore employed lots of Polish workers who had to be happy to be underpaid. He is so hated in Berlin, that bouncers did not let him into a famous Berlin Club called Berghain. He has not many fans in Germany and not many Teslas can be seen on the roads here.

You left out the best part of the Halli incident!
