4·33 minutes agoI’m not saying he is dumb. I actually wrote “he is extraordinarily smart.”
He is very good at hiring smart engineers and making them work like dogs. He tells them BS about how working without taking a break will save the world. Then he just takes credit for whatever they produce.
A lot of these engineers are technically good but they have zero life experience. Musk love young people like this. It’s exactly the kind of people he hired at DOGE.
I don’t like him. He is a cunt.
But he is extraordinarily smart. He calls himself the Chief Engineer at Space X.
In fact, he doesn’t know shit about engineering. He has no engineering degree. He just hires young engineers, make them work like dogs, and constantly takes credit for anything they achieve. Once they burnout, he kicks them out and replaces them.
He uses his celebrity to attract more young engineers. He has an entire team that visits engineering schools and tells young graduates “You have the ability to work for a genius and go to Mars. Wanna join Elon ?”. Again, he knows nothing about engineering. He has a financial degree from the Wharton School of Finance.
And from his time at Wharton, he learned one extremely important lesson. Perception shapes reality.
Elon Musk presents himself as the founder of Tesla. Tesla was actually created by Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard. He simply joined the company, fired them both, and sued them both. Then, he called himself the founder of the company.
In exchange of a confidential legal settlement ($$$), Tarpenning and Eberhard must stay silent. A lie repeated 50 times, 100 times, 1000 times, becomes reality. Many media outlets now call Musk the founder of Tesla. Perception shapes reality.
One of the reason he bought X is to shape the algorithm. He has urged millions of dumb people to buy Tesla stocks. And it’s working. Dumb people just see random accounts on their X feed praising Elon Musk as a genius. And these dumb people actually believe it.
The same way, dumb americans on X constantly saw accounts attacking Kamala Harris during the 2024 election campaign. At no point did they find it actually suspicious (“Why am I seeing this content ?”). And it played a key role in election Donald Trump.
Reuters and the New York Times published two very good investigations about how Musk knowingly sold defective cars:

You will never guess how Elon Musk reacted 🙃
He started telling people on X :
Translation: “Please don’t read quality journalism. That would be super bad for me.”
This man is the living proof that technical knowledge doesn’t matter in business. If you are shameless and skilled at manipulating fools, you can be highly successful.
Greece is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. They don’t respect driving laws. They openly throw trash in the streets. They smoke right in front of “Please don’t smoke here” signs. The Greek politicians are completely corrupt. But these Greek politicians didn’t fall from a sky. They are a reflection of Greek society.
Why do I say this ? Because my country faces similar issues.
Some cultures are just fucked.
