Elon is inspirational as he demonstrates to us that we also can achieve.

He dares to dream big and surrounds himself with like minded people and they achieve!

He also learns so many things on the journey.

His amazing advice and wisdom...

And he does not have a degree, and questions why we are putting people through the educational system as we are, when they need to be taught how to learn themselves instead through experiment and discovery.


Elon Musk is a really inspiring gentleman, and I really do not understand those who criticize without even listening to what he says.

To which I will say this. NEVER EVER make decisions about people based on what other people say about them. Be it the news, or be it someone else. ONLY take your information from either the person themselves, OR those who directly know them, as so many times I have heard awful things said by those who never even knew the people concerned, which to me is a stupid thing to do!

I am not saying Elon does not have faults, or that anyone else does not have faults. BUT ALWAYS get your information direct. NEVER from the news of what other people think of someone! (Other people who have never even met the people they are talking about!)

Some people are shown as being great people by the media but if one gets to know the real them, one realizes they are not nice people. Yet others the media tries to say how awful they are... Yet when one meets them or speaks to people who personally know them, one realizes how many lies have been told!

But Elon, and others I am impressed with!

But we've heard what he says and seen what he's done.

He's proof that anyone who's born into wealth can become more wealthy.

Not to mention that with enough money you can buy other people's achievements and force them to add your name to the founders list.

Do you mean President Musk?

He seems to be the only one capable of pulling Mr. Trump's strings as "the power behind the throne".

We'll see how long that lasts as Trump doesn't normally take well to this sort of interference. I can see it going either way.

For the last couple months I've been getting at least 5 spam emails every day promoting various cr@p products that are claimed to be invented by Elon Musk. A major cutthroat businessman like Elon Musk should know how to crack down & file lawsuits against his brand's image being used without his permission. Or the products are actually invented by Elon Musk & he's so desperate to sell his junk that he has resorted to mass email spamming. Both scenarios make it extremely difficult for me to respect him as a businessman & have confidence in his brand.

Meglomania.......too much of success can breed this i. ... And if he wishes to associate with people whom might exploit his tendencies ....And how many Aspies do you know that might under normal circumstances crave acceptance...?
And look who has chosen to gather him up....If suddenly with a little bit of success,,the future president of the entire USA corporation wanted you for a buddy...Whom could provide a stronger influence than the President.

But I do like he is sporting a Cowby hat occassionally ....gives him character, albeit a little Creepy. :roll:

Well, weirder things have happened - Trump as President, Johnson as UK PM - both monumentally and obviously unsuited from the start.

Also - the "t" in "Britain" is not silent, dammit! :x
It's not "Bri'n".

I don't hate him. I don't agree with some of his takes.
I think it's obvious he behaves like a child at times on X (Twitter).
I also was certain that he was overpaying for Twitter when he bought it.

It's not worth wasting your energy hating a complete stranger like him.

Someone like Putin deserves wrath. Musk, he hasn't killed anyone as far as I know.
