About Elon Musk...

Does anyone truly like the guy and think he is actually intelligent? I'm just curious because I just got my second account banned there (for an inauthentic account - whatever that is) and I'm not using my phone to make an account. The lack of privacy is amazing. Next thing you know I'll be getting a notice that I can't buy food because of my social credit score... I don't agree with the authoritarian personality types. So is it just bots that like Elon? Does anyone else genuinely like him here?

I think he is brilliant, but very creepy. And just like any genius type minded person they have no concept of the average person's life or way of thinking. Everything they create is fit to their minds.

His multiple children with multiple women, and his mannerisms make me very unsettled and creeped out by him. I see him not as some tech savior but as an evil genius that one day will say "I own the World, follow me" or else!

This is my feeling about Elon.

@Catastrophe That is quite shallow of him, I was expecting y comment back to him about him liking Elon's mannerisms to get me blocked by him. Maybe he has not read my reply as of yet? LOL

I hear he is willing to pay for anything.

He is intelligent, and qualified in computing.

I can't really judge his personality though, although giving his children silly names as he is said to do, is hardly anything to be proud of.

I do not trust his business aims and methods though, and his highly-unoffical "DOGE" manoeuvres (blanket dismissals accompanied by blanket accusations of criminality, by a "department" never given proper Congressional approval and scrutiny) suggest he is utterly ruthless and inhumane.

I regard his dream of manned flights to Mars as just that, a dream, and a very unpleasant one at that; and I bet he won't volunteer to be in the first crew. I also regards his cluttering near-Space with huge numbers of satellites as unsustainable and unwarranted; little better than very expensive fly-tipping of costly materials merely to make him even richer.

He is reputed to be very unpleasant and exploitative as an employer; but I don't know the truth of that. .

@ArishMell Yes, that's fair, from what I know of him, this rings true. My friend works for him... I won't say much about that. He did make a computer game when he was younger. Some space invaders thing.

Now he is aiming for the moon, not mars. 🙄

@Catastrophe that's for sure, I don't think they are very safe either.

@Catastrophe You said it best and I barrowed your scrip you sent me.

He should not be enabled to cause harm to humanity.
Catastrophe · New
@Northwest Absolutely. That's why I'm here.

Well he has to be intelligent to do what he's done and to be the worlds wealthiest man. Full stop.

I don't hate him or super like him, but I think he gets a bad rap. Many love to hate those more powerful.

@Elessar You're not going to convince me of anything. Why are you trying to?
You could just reply to the question posed by the op and not to me that didn't ask to be responded to.

@Magenta We all have a right to our own opinions here.
Elessar · 31-35, M
@Magenta I comment wherever I want.

Are you allergic to freedom of speech?

A lot of people like Elon because he's a stupid person's idea of what a smart person acts like.
Catastrophe · New
@DunningKruger Hahaha so true. Well put.

I have been around him a couple of times at conferences. He is very smart, but I found him to be totally enraptured with himself and not concerned about anybody else. I don't like him.
Catastrophe · New
@exexec At conferences, interesting. Yeah, my friend (who I met here actually) works for him at Tesla. I don't think he is stupid, I think he is amazing at using other people and finding real talent. I do believe he is self-absorbed, as you say, a psychopath.
GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M
The 4channers and X people like him. He's smart, but I don't want to be lorded over by narcs. Already dealt with that in my family.

@TexChik I'm not a socialist or democrat. I feel really sorry for you and narrow-minded views though. Bye! You have nothing to offer here.
