Wow, the coping on Lemmy over Elon Musk is wild.

Like it or not, he’s going to be in the history books, for generations to come. If you think he’s just riding along on some sort of wave you’re very wrong, if you listen to any of the people who work with him, he’s very involved, very focused, and the driver of every project he starts.

Lmao. Yes, super involved, with hot takes the entire time because he doesn’t have the experience or academic knowledge. Truly a Thomas Edison. I can believe he has a lot of ideas, I can believe a reasonable number of them are good business ideas. I have a very hard time believing he knows more about car engineering than people who have done it for their entire career.

Hot takes aren’t inherently wrong, they’re just unpopular in the current climate. Hot takes don’t mean uneducated, especially today when academic doesn’t always = truth.

Not inherently no, but when the engineers at the company have to conspire to get around your hot takes then they are more of a problem than a vision.

I’m confused. The post equates him with Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison is very much in the history books. They’re not saying Elon won’t be in the history books. I only see one comment here disagreeing.

Yeah, it’s just very clear that no one wants Elon in the history books, by the way they try very hard to downplay his life involvement with everything

But don’t you understand? The point of websites like this one is to have your incorrect opinions validated!!

The good thing about Lemmy is my comment isn’t buried by thousands of bot accounts. When I’m downvoted for my wrong-think, everyone still sees it!

Imagine what kind of Topsy level shenanigans he can get up to under the coming administration.

Henry Ford arguably more appropriate, given his propagation of fascist ideology.

As much as I enjoy the song it’s important to remember that the Tesla vs Edison story is 60% bullshit.
