Elon Musk on Shark Tank?

I'll invest in the business, but you need to be extremely hardcore. You will work 120 hours a week. You will go to the bathroom only once a day. You need to sleep in your office. You will consume protein shakes for all your meals. Your name will now be Employee Designation 1-7-0.

And you will do all the work while I get all the money and fame.

@Captainjackass I have several friends who work at Tesla. I don't think his drive, work ethic, or contribution is actually in question. His public persona, now that's open to challenge. Not trying to be disagreeable, just giving first hand assessments of Musk actually doing engineering and production support. By all accounts, he's good at it.

@RosaMarie Musk has a degree in Physics and Economics. He is not an engineer and I highly doubt he does any real engineering, or is capable of it. I'm sure he is good at imagining what he would like his companies to accomplish, and in working toward those big picture objectives, but he's not the guy down in the details working out the complicated engineering and production issues. And that's OK--you have to have someone with the helicopter vision from above.

@windinhishair
Musk has a degree in Physics

Apparently, he lied about that. Ooops.

@daisymay Is that right? lol

@daisymay I missed that! So he basically knows nothing about how his companies work.

It is all starting to make more sense now........

@RosaMarie he’s probably good at giving the image of it but he knows dick about science or technology. He just sells the image of having a hand in all that stuff himself when according to others he doesn’t know anything about it.

@daisymay he lied about a lot of his education.

@daisymay And investors paid for his BS in Economics. He also didn’t get into a PHD program. So many lies.

@iamonfire696 A lying liar of lies, as Martina Navratolova put it.

@windinhishair he’s a smart con man though until now.

@iamonfire696 It is why he loves Trump so much--they are two malignant narcissists and con men who see themselves in each other.

@windinhishair you are exactly right
