I would argue Gwen Shotwell is to blame for spacex’s success. Tom Muller made the engine, which is no mean feat, but Gwen built the company.
So the Credit goes to Tom Muller, without engine you cannot go to space.
Gwynne* Shotwell, but yea, she built the company.
I also spelt Mueller wrong. I’m not a rocket appliances.
That’s because xelon is a nothing, and has always been a nothing. Money does not make you something. All republicans/conservatives are just the uncool kids that will never be cool. They don’t understand what “cool” actually is. And when they try to be “cool”, it’s just cringe, cringe, cringe!!!
Can someone provide sources for the information? I’m not doubting it, just that relying solely on information from a meme without references is generally a bad idea
Well with Tesla, that was a lawsuit. He was being sued and due to the outcome, board members became co-founders. Legally Musk is considered a co-founder of Tesla.
And that’s exactly how newspapers should phrase it:
Musk, who won the right to be called a cofounder of Tesla in court, …
His base would applaud that he won that right
His base doesn’t give a fuck if he founded Tesla though
For PayPal he was actually fired, but still had a lot of shares. Musk was fired when the company he was CEO of (x.com), merged with Confinity. PayPal was a service of Confinity. Musk kept pushing his X concept, whilst the rest of the company wanted to go PayPal. Musk got pushed out over this and some other conflicts. Later PayPal made it big and the shares made Musk a bunch of money.
So for PayPal Musk had zero to do with it’s success.
No offense, but since you replied to the other comment: I don’t think you know what a source is.
EDIT: lol, They asked for sources! You know, like links to proof…? It’s the very first sentence!
You can lead a dumb shit horse to water…
Did you ask Bobandy?
Musk = POS Nazi.
The poor Karens being genocided at home and being used as an insult in the West
So, while I’m confident Elon is absolutely terrible at anything software related, I did some digging to see how much he’s actually done at anything other than software. It looks like he was highly regarded, at least with high level decisions, as the chief engineer of SpaceX from this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/comments/k1e0ta/evidence_that_musk_is_the_chief_engineer_of_spacex/
Not trying to throw him a bone at all or anything. But is it possible that he does know a lot about rockets/propulsion?? I’m trying to get the facts about this as it’s been a longstanding argument between my dad and I about what his involvement actually has been. My basic argument has always been, CEOs don’t have the time of day to get involved with the nitty gritty, and his rebuttal is usually something along the lines of, “Well that’s just how smart he is, I mean he sleeps at the factories!” :eye roll:
If you watch the Everyday Astronaut Elon interviews, it’s clear he knows a lot about rocketry, understands the workings of SpaceX in minute detail, and is obviously not just a disconnected CEO. While I’ll concede that he has played a great part in the success of his companies, I really don’t like the idea that pieces of shit like Elon and Bezos will have an oligopoly on space travel. I’d really like to see reusable rockets become more of a commodity with a lot of competition, because the future of space travel is too important to be under the control of dickheads like them.
On the contrary as I’d love to see all of the oligarchs become obsessed with space travel to the exclusion of everything else. If their level of obsession is sufficient, we might be able to get them off the planet.
A reddit thread does not a worthwhile source make. The man is a tumor on society and has never meaningfully contributed to anything to a business he is involved with beyond taking and selling emeralds from his dads apartheid mine.
The other day I was talking about musk to my GF, Me: “Musk is such a poser, he buys successful gaming accounts and pretends to be a top gamer by claiming those achievements as his own” GF: “Well, yeah, that tracks. Isn’t that what he does with his companies?”.
Hahahahaha
Sounds like a keeper!
That’s not exactly a high bar to clear
Last year SpaceX received government subsidies totaling $10 million per day. Without government welfare he is worthless.
I have a feeling he designed the cyber truck and that’s why it sucks so hard
On an video done by common sense skeptic, he mentions that Teslas business plan was layed out by the original founders up until the launch of cybertruck. Indicating that Musks only major contribution was indeed the Cybertruck. He also has a couple of patents, one for the shape of the charger socket and the other one I can’t recall.
Yeah iirc, he boasted a bit about that and there’s alot of engineers that responded to various comments about design oversights saying most of it was musks design, it was designed how he wanted it the way he wanted it, agianst the advice of engineers. They saw some these problems miles away but that car specifically was musks baby, his personal magnum opus, his personal design.
Probably a reason them being vandalized hirts him even more, not only is he an arrogant petulant child, that really is “his” creation. Treats it more like his kid then any of his children which “died” to wokeness.
Nope, he didn’t do that either
Oof.
never designed anything
i am convinced that he at least had a lot of say in the design of cybertruck. the sheer amount of design flaws on that thing is just too many to believe it was made by actual engineers without any input from a barely literate troglodyte.
I’m sure he drew the first Cybertruck design, because no competent car designer would come up with an ugly monstrosity like that.
The old school MS-DOS gaming groups on Facebook all mocked it on how it looked like it was an early 90s PC racing game car rendered in real life. Plenty of other 90s gamers also made similar claims about how it resembled clunky primitive 3D graphics of the era.
Of all the things that came from PayPal, musk and thiel being one of the worst things
Musk is a sleazy salesman. That’s all he is.
A sleazy salesman who was built up by his dad as some kind of messiah.
Perfect company for Trump.
Even when he bought Xitter he was like two years behind the times on edgelord memes.
You can’t buy being cool or actually likable ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He bought a presidency and platform with X. … Are you living under a rock? You still see this as some sort of failure and not exactly the plan.
I remember some article about SpaceX a while ago, where an engineer says that the work day grinds to a halt whenever Musk arrives at the factory because he wants them to work in a very specific way that isn’t actually conducive to being a rocket manufacturer, but which he thinks is how rocket manufacturers operate.
