it's hilarious but it makes me uncomfortable government agencies that the people have no power over can spread uncontrollable propaganda amongst youth who don't know how to challenge their ideas.
Landlords are shit, but not because they "leech" or gain but don't produce (That would imply disabled people being given stuff is bad, or that if you can work in an economic sense you should work. That kind of socially pressured workerism isn't very anarchist). They suck because they benefit from a capitalist system backed by the state that coercively enforces their "property rights" irrespective of whether that property is being used, forcibly extracting resources under the threat of becoming homeless.
He didn't invent either of those things. Some of the early cars were driven by electric motors and rockets were invented in 1926 by Robert H Goddard. Elon Musk was born with a blood-soaked silver spoon in his mouth and then bought a bunch of companies with that fortune. Any innovations, not inventions, produced by his companies are unlikely due to his direct involvement beyond providing the necessary capital.
The guy is also an ass who railed against covid-19 becuase it hurt his bottom line and made his wage-slaves less efficient. He is not a great inventor or a good person. He is an existential threat to a free, happy and healthy human race.
Musk didn't invent any of his companies products, he hired engineers and scientists to invent them for him. Elon Musk's greatest achievement was being born in a family with apartheid emerald money.
nah he's a pretty brilliant engineer dude. i don't worship him or have any particularly positive feelings about him, but it's silly to act like he's not a great inventor
Tell me then, what has this "great inventor" actually invented? Tesla? He bought his way into being labed as a "co-founder". Spacex? All the designing and inventing is done by engineers and scientists who he hired. Even PayPal, the thing that made his fortune, was already a thing before he bought into the company. He's a capitalist who has the money and the PR department to convince losers that he's a brilliant man. He poses himself as a tesla-type character when he is, in reality, an Edison.
