This comment hit the nail on the head. I feel like I played right into his hands. But what is a person to do?

remember the real reason he bought Twitter was to influence the 2024 election and stop any kind of leftist organizing on the site

There may be a lot of truth to that.... but I find it hard not to counter such thoughts against his achievements with Tesla and SpaceX. The man gets shit done (and is late for a lot of other stuff too, granted). Still, there are not many other CEOs of recent times with such drive and such vision that have been able to execute on such grand schemes, and actually, for the most part, succeed.

You’re prolly going to get shit on here if you think Tesla is “his” achievement.

I didn’t downvote but a lot of people think he bought clout with his Founder title after investing in the company.

Since, you know… he wasn’t a founder.

Edit: yes, I know the argument of his contributions being in the marketing, and and and…. that still doesn’t make him a Founder.

Not saying I think he did it alone, but he has been the driving force in the ultimate success of both endeavours.

TIL... there are still people around who think Phony Stark has ever "achieved" anything.
