was he a billionaire always as you asserted or not?
any cars with electric components dont help or solve climate change problems? this is what you’re saying?


that user just hates African Americans and immigrants


they do not solve it, that is exactly what i stated, and you make alot of false assertions yourself which isnt surprising cuz at this point if you were trolling its been a long fucking time

elon musk did not have nothing when he began, and was not on the public radar until he became one of the wealthiest people on the planet, with that kind of fame he proves to be nothing but a manchild

also that dog whistle that you think is so clever wasnt funny the first time you said it, and wont ever be funny

he co-founded paypal.. that's where he got his money


lol no

He co-founded Zip2, from which all the code he wrote was scrapped when they had to make a working product so they could get acquired. Zip2 was sold to Comex and he got 22m from it. Basically failed upwards as his investors bailed him out to recover their money.

Then he took that money and co-founded X.com. Same thing. He wrote a bunch of spaghetti code, and when it was clear they weren't generating a product one of his investors brought in outside coders to build a minimal product they could use to get acquired. Paypal acquired X.com. Elon was never associated with Paypal except for the fact that he was booted when Paypal acquired his failing website at the height of the dotcom boom.

He took his money from the X.com acquisition and bought part of solar city, tesla, and Spacex. He didn't found any of them, he just bought a large stake in a bunch of very early companies and got lucky that Tesla was successful enough to fund them all.


If Elon was any time but the dotcom boom where all of his failures could get sold becuase they were related to the internet he would have crashed and burned a long time ago. Similarly, if he didn't have rich parents with connections he wouldn't have even been able to start those companies or get them acquired when they failed.

Overall, Musk got into a lot of early companies and had his family bail him out, until one finally worked.

That's pretty much the American way (and the west in general). Doesn't matter if you are good or not, if you have money you just won't be allowed to fail.

Not specifically his family doing the bailouts. His family basically paid his way while he was trying to get the companies off the ground, and his connections were what allowed him to get financiers to both start his companies and get his companies acquired before they failed.

Can't keep a wife, much more awkward, and visibly unhappy. Having to lie constantly to keep hype. Musk seems pretty miserable. I don't really envy him.

Nah, I'm good. I'll keep my own life.

He doesn't care about you and simply does what he wants to do. Funny when you have the power to buy social media platforms that were once the home of leftists censorship.

I get that you're mad, just huff some copium bud.
