Reddit is home to plenty of good and bad things. Pretty good metaphor for this debate actually. The problem is that everyone views everything as black and white. I never said he wasn't a cunt.

Steve Bruce all over again.
He's demonstrably an idiot though. When it was suggested advertisers would leave X, he said 'go fuck yourselves' like he was king dick. Now he is crying they won't advertise and trying to sue them, at the same time as he himself retweets racebaiting misinformation to escalate the situation in the UK. I wonder why they don't want to sell Mars bars next to those posts?
Isn't his allegation that they all conspired to not advertise, which is arguably cartel/price fixing sort of behaviour? He might not get anyway with it but it's hardly without any sort of merit.
He is a cringe Reddit cunt, and clearly more of a manager/driver-througher than the engineer some people seem to think he is, but lol at the idea of him just being some bumbling chancer. 'He only bought Tesla!' Yes, with the money he made from...
...his dad owning an Emerald mine?Originally Posted by Lewis
Elon clearly has a vision about what he thinks the world should be and how it should be. How smart he actually is is questionable, he sounds like someone who is smart until you actually listen to him properly. He's probably off his head on ket* these days to be anyway coherent.
*Completely a joke, he's probably never done drugs.
Nah mate, if my dad had left me a couple of million I and not him would definitely be the richest person in the entire planet. Luck of the draw. Like pks.
I don't know whether he is 'smart' but he took some far fetched ideas (electric cars, private space rockets) and made them into viable businesses the way no other person/company managed to and became the wealthiest person on earth in the process. If he is an idiot, then I wish I was that kind of idiot, and this is coming from someone who used to lol at Tesla (still do a little bit).
He can be a fantastic business man and still be a thick cunt. Alan Sugar managed it.
It's a bit like when people think educated people are necessarily intelligent. Some of the biggest retards going have masters degrees.
Education =/= business acumen =/= intelligence.
I would bet that business acumen and intelligence are strongly correlated. Education and intelligence certainly are, as much as it we try to pretend otherwise.
And yet we have doctors believing in homeopathy. 9 times out of 10 it's because they are doctors in non-medical fields, but I have to ask how someone can be both educated enough to be a doctor AND thick enough to believe that the cure for something is more of what caused it, but watered down. And the more you water it down, the stronger it gets. These are both very educated and very thick individuals (and probably scammers).
They do exist, but they are a minority. There are less thick doctors than thick bricklayers.
I would gladly take a 2 point IQ hit to get musk's business acumen.
Spot the people who have never worked in business.
If that version of events is true then at the very least he's the best investor in the world, which would suggest he's reasonably intelligent.
As someone who's job is to speak with doctors all day, every day, I counter this massively.
I am sure someone will come and tell us that investors are also all morons. I don't even know who can be assumed to be of average intelligence at this point. What a place.
He hasn't invented anything. He owns companies that invent things, there's a difference. Again, he's basically Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs was pretty clever.
Clever enough to not accidentally buy social media platforms that he doesn't actually want, atleast.
Would letting a treatable cancer kill you be worse than having caught AIDS? That must have been some dilemma for him legacy-wise.
My mate got 13 A*s at school, went to a top UK university, now has a PhD and teaches there. He is a very clever guy when you talk to him. I once watched him 'lock' his mountain bike to a waist high bollard.
Can you even take 13 GCSEs?
Yeah if you are a massive nerd.
12 was standard at my (very shit comprehensive) school. I did 13 because I did stats as well as maths (which all top set maths did).
I got straight A* and also know how to lock a bike up so fucking go me.
One of his was Latin.
Next time there’s something bad, I’m gonna leak John Lightfoot as the bad man.
I'm a twit
Meanwhile that tool who was reporting fantasy acid attacks against Muslim women in Middlesbrough was meeting government ministers today.
They're really churning out the prison time for anyone connected to the recent rioting. This one sticks out as a bit "WTF?" to me:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czrg70xgm5zo
Crazy that he's in prison 5 days later.
Edit: Actually, it was less than 48 hours. He live streamed at 10pm on Wednesday and he was jailed Friday morning.
Lock up all TikTok wankers.
I'm sorry to say this, but: heads have gone.
We're straight back to School Shooting news coverage. The more they cover this stuff and the reaction to it from the public, the more nut jobs will want to do it.
White man committed the crime and stopped by a Muslim. England and its racist residents in tatters
Eastern European. I'm not sure what the EDL lot do with that.
Edit: the fella that posted this appears to be a crank, so this may well be complete bollocks.

This happened behind my building. People were out yesterday evening, looking for the lad
The clock is ticking! Political left desperately hoping his name is Lee Smith, political right praying for Mateusz Kaminski.
What if it's Matty Cash?
Win win.
White bloke disarmed by a security guard called Abdullah. Tommy Robinson on the ropes.
Conspiracy innit
Not for me. You played with fire and get what you deserve.
That would be great if various other scumbags were also getting what they deserve, but they aren't. It's taking years to prosecute crimes at the moment. I'm not sure how they justify prioritising low hanging fruit like Tracy from Bishops Stortford posting about wontin are cuntry back on Facebook.
Something about keeping the proles in check.
Plus it's real easy to prosecute when all the plebs have video of their own crimes.
And they're admitting guilt generally.
Because the majority of crimes are commited against other people. When you commit crimes against the state the boot lands on your neck.
I mean it's patently obvious why. There was real potential for the situation to get out of control and charging people quickly was felt to be a worthwhile undertaking as a deterrent. It clearly worked as well.
Yep, that shit and any twats hanging on to it absolutely needed to be stamped out ASAP.
