this is a really dumb question.

[-] Cyv_ 10 points 2 months ago

I rephrased it, but I still dunno how you're finding somebody "petty". Petty implying shallow, vain, selfish. And somehow Musk is... better than most CEOs? The man who didn't like people shit talking him on Twitter so he bought it and ran it into the ground?

[-] infinite_ass@leminal.space 1 points 2 months ago

But it's just talk. Just. Talk.

Meanwhile in the real world other CEOs create investment products, home furnishings and consumer entertainments. While Musk creates spaceships. Yes, those other guys look damn petty in comparison. And by petty I mean small. Do I need to underline my point again?

Um, the research, engineering, and design departments at other companies create those things, just like the research, engineering, and design departments at Space X create spaceships. CEOs don't create shit.

Do.. Do you really think Elon knows how a rocket works?

None of these people "make" anything. They get paid millions to tell other people to make things. Overpaid. If you can't grasp that, I don't think I can help you. It's like trying to convince the village idiot the factory owner isn't the one making the product. CEOs have value, but the value is not worth what they're paid. He gets no extra credit from me for being an overpaid manager, who is also a piece of shit human being.

Musk doesn’t create anything. His engineers do that. They have designers and engineers and actual smart people working at SpaceX. Musk is just Mr money bags at this point
