Elon is not the founder of Tesla. He sued the actual founders to bury that fact.
I don't think Linus Thorvalds is either very stylish or really an asshole. He might be a bit short fused, but not an asshole.
Replace "Visionary" with "Infamous" and musk photo with that one goth photo that he was trying to hide.
Oh my God is Linux pronounced Line-ux?
That's how I used to say it decades ago when it was one of those "I have only ever read it" words.
It's probably because I knew the name Linus from Peanuts / Charlie Brown, and in that they pronounce it "Lie-nuss." So back then I said "Lie-nux." When I first heard it as "Linn-nix" it sounded not just wrong but less cool.
But between having watched videos of Torvalds speak, and knowing a handful of Finland's neighbors (Swedes) the correct pronunciation of "Linn-nix" is the only way I even think of it in my head now.
On the chance this isn't a joke, no it isn't, Linus has said so himself
Apparently, Linus' name is pronounced like how people normally pronounce Linux, according to his Wikipedia page.
omfg seriously?
He is a bit of an asshole but yeah.
Okay funny, but yeah Tesla on here kinda fucks it up because Elon is not a founder of Tesla, and he's not visionary unless you count finding new ways to make it worthless. Elon is not visionary in any of his businesses, he just has money and pays people under him to try to make him look good. Emphasis on try
He is an asshole though, I'll give you that
Oh, but Elon is a founder, he paid enough to retcon himself as such, so he is.
Can't argue him being a 'visionary' though, unless you count ambitions that are vague enough so they are not actually actionable and obvious enough that pretty much any random person would be predicting the same thing.
Paying to say you are something doesn't mean people need to accept it. He's not a founder of Tesla under conventional understanding and he never will be. It's as simple as that
All we've got to do is forget how it went down and ask Grok to tell us instead...
Instructions unclear, grok is now shouting about Hitler.
Instructions clear, but grok is still shouting about Hitler.
Eh, calling Linus 'quiet' kind of cancels it out.
You all don’t know what you’re talking about. Elon absolutely is a visionary. Who else could come up with the new Tesla Roadster with rocket thruster package (source)? Now, actually brining that vision to market, yeah Elon might not be your guy. Now that I think about it, his visions are more like delusions. Maybe let’s call him a delusionary.
Also gonna put this here if you would like to read more of his delusions. https://elonmusk.today/

Musk bought it not founded it. There needs to be a whole nother column
Gives musk too much credit
And Jobs
Woz was also a founder.
Way too much. FAR from founder, fucking Nepo baby that acts like we're all shitty because we weren't born with a silver butt plug.
Pretty sure it was a blood-diamond butt plug.
Emerald butt plug in Musk's case
Oh crap, you're right!
~~Visionary~~ Asshole ~~Founder~~
The AHole down a KHole....
Elon musk didn't found tesla. He's also an idiot nepo baby, not a visionary.
Elon to my knowledge hasn't been the founder of a single project he's been part of. He's bought everything.
Ohh, so like he's the Tommy Tallarico of tech
His initial lottery ticket of a business Zip2 I think he was fairly a founder.
I know next to nothing about it because no one ever heard of it before Compaq had a huge case of dot-com FOMO and paid $300 million for it, where it promptly went nowhere like it already was.
Actually, Elmo didn't found Tesla.
Didn’t he in fact sue the actual founders to be allowed to be called a founder?
I thought he paid extra to be able to tell that lie.
I believe the lawsuit was settled. I don’t really remember the details, but sounds super-Musky that that would be part of the terms of the settlement.
My university textbooks said he did. I was dumfounded when I saw that.
Hopefully they didn't charge you absurd prices for those shitty books, but i already know they did
Pretty sure Elmo isn't one of the founders of Tesla. And calling him a visionary is pushing it.
Nah it's cool bro, he rewrote history to make himself the founder of Tesla, because you can just do that when you have enough money.
I would have figured the three Linuses would have been like:
Enthusiastic loud mouthed young Linus arguing with Tannenbaum.
Aggressive Linus with no filter at all slapping maintainers upside the head.
Aggressive Elder Linus with a personal insult filter applied still slapping maintainers upside the head.
I laughed too hard
You may not like it, but this is what the peak full stack dev looks like.
