Let's not pretend Musk has fucking clue what's going on or the science behind it.
He isn't down in trenches making discoveries. That's just the image he presents.
He buys companies and lets the actually competent people do the work while claiming credit.
He's been doing it since PayPal.
He's not a genius, he just has enough money to get actual geniuses to work for him.
@Lmaydev @ajsadauskas
Peter Thiel sacked him as a PayPal boss?
He didn't "invent" Paypal.
It was formed by merging his company X with Confinity. All he did was profit off it but many people seem to think he created it.
To be clear, he did try to make them use his own work instead and it was awful so they pushed him out to protect the company.
LMFAO, I had no idea this wasn't even the first time he called his dumb company X. He really is obsessed with that letter.
X.com, SpaceX, now changing Twitter to X. Dude has an obsession
Don't forget his dumbass name for his child.
He was just looking for a reason to use the domain name I'm pretty sure.
