Steve Jobs was widely known as a huge asshole aswell but I think it’s pretty undeniable that he was also a genious. I think the same applies to Elon. He pretty much single handedly popularized electric vehicles and the innovation he’s pushing on rocket technology and satellite internet is quite amazing especially considering it’s all coming from a single man. I wish he’d get off social media and focus on what matters. I still hope that he succeeds though, because the world benefits from it.
It seems quite common that exceptional people like him more often than not come with their not so positive personality quirks and he’s no exception here.
It could be the use of single man twice in the same paragraph that is a bit irking.
Obviously there are teams of people actually designing and executing what these companies deliver.
There’s certainly something to what Musk decides to manage that proves successful.
Sure, but that’s true with all other successful people aswell. There’s always a team of competent professionals behind them. However I think it’s still true to say that you could pick any individual from that team and replace them with someone else with no significant change to the end product but once you remove the head figure the innovation is very likely going to stop right there.
Yeah I was having a shower after left my comment and thought, oh man, Twitter is a terrible counter example of performance. What do you think of that situation?
I don’t really have an opinion it and I haven’t been following the changes there very closely. From my personal point of view I haven’t noticed much of a change but perhaps I’m not the most typical twitter user to begin with. The niche section of it that I hang in has pretty much left unchanged.
I liked what he said of it in the beginning about how in a well-balanced social media platform the left and the right should be equally unsatisfied but that doesn’t seem to have been the case here as it seems to be almost exclusively the left that’s abandoning the platform. I’m definitely noticing a strong right-wing bias in the recommended content that occasionally finds it’s way into my non-political feed there.

This is my new favorite copypasta
Maybe one day instead of just jokes and downvotes someone actually tells me what I’m wrong about.
It’s kind of like when you meet a flat earther… We’ve all met folks like you, and at this point none of us want to waste our time.
There’s so much obvious evidence to the contrary of what you’re suggesting here. “Genius” must be one of the most abused terms of the 21st century.
Ad-hominem seems to be the most common argument aganst my views on this indeed.

My time on Reddit taught me not to expect explanations after receiving downvotes. It wasn’t me though 🤷♂️
Edit: case in point
