He actually did invent that one game in the 80s, his only positive contribution to society.
Oooh, is it that game where you have to guess a number? I mean he didn't invent it but I'm sure he wrote it at some point.
No, its a space invaders-like game called Blastar
It's a perfect psycho business man. With inimaginable amount of money and resources. Greedy as a worm whole. You know like all most powerful few guys in the world.
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:
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.
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.
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.
The poor Karens being genocided at home and being used as an insult in the West
