What's wrong with the guy? - Elon Musk Discussion

[–] Rorikon (17855) 6 years ago

What do you mean? You mean the part where they say he's donating to the GOP or the part where he called the British diver who criticized his small sub for the Thai cave a pedo?

When you're rich, you lose sense of yourself. Happens when you have power you get lost in it. Hope someone reminds him of where he started off.

Even if Driver sues him for millions. It won't affect him a bit. Somebody has to bring down these overly powerful people. Think that nothing can hurt them

They say homophobic people are actually closeted gays. Does that mean people who baselessly calls other people pedos are actually closeted pedos themselves? Hmmm...

I agree but I am much more worried about the media than Elon Musk. The media is far more powerful and controlled by a specific group who lie to start wars.

He has gotten to where he is today by being progressive. Even now with marijuana. I would invest in those stocks, and Tesla. Imagine if he makes an economical solar powered car.

I hate these kinds of people ... they exude this air of superiority even while being complete jerks or doing stupid things. All the problems in the world come about from having greedy psychopaths running everything. We need to start a system where the nice people organize things for everyone's benefit.

If that happened 200 years ago, we would still be churning our own butter.

Very unscientific nonsense.

Not if you are a student of history. Society needs mavericks to shake things up.

Human nature is hostile to change. If you limit or take away rewards from the mavericks , you will end up like Russia....no innovation
at all comes out of that country.(AK 47 is about the only one)

Jethro Tull, sabotage

[–] brux (14724) 5 years ago

You are implying a meaning to the word maverick like all maverick actions are good ... that is called cherry picking, so to pick historical examples to back some vague support of vague people you personally call mavericks makes you not a very good historian or social scientist. Russia's problems are not lack of innovation. Again, I don't think you know much about Russia and history.

I like the song, but it's called Saboteur.

People make comments and it gives one a little insight into their thinking process, and the symbols they choose to use.

Jethro Tull was a new device that was invented to plant seeds in the ground in England hundreds of years ago. It cause riots because people were afraid of losing their jobs.

Sabatoge... the word is derived from sabot were the wooden shoes that were worn by workers afriad of losing their jobs.

If you get nice people running things, they will protect jobs, creative destruction will not happen, progress will stop, we will be churning butter.

> If you get nice people running things, they will protect jobs, creative destruction will not happen, progress will stop, we will be churning butter.

This is the most ridiculous claim, and yet in that tirade of BS it is thing that is the most understandable ... and nonsense. Creative destruction is a meaningless term. What is the definition? How do you measure it? What are its units. What is the function for how it relates to progress What is progress? Your brain is full of noise.

[–] Redsfan001 (6144) 5 years ago

I just gave you an example.

The Jethro Tull device, which devised a better and more efficient way to plant seeds in the ground, which boosted productivity in agriculture many fold. This device would have never been allowed to be used if 'nice people' ran things. They would be overly concerned about the planters jobs.

That would be a first in the history of the world, probably. At least in our democratic system with an economy that's a mix of socialist ideas and capitalism, there's some checks and balances.

They don't even have to have a billion. I find him pretty off-putting myself. The thing that did it for me was him calling the guy in Thailand a pedo-guy. What a stupid thing to do ... I said the same thing ... "what's wrong with that guy"?
