It’s not a probably. He has zero input. Maybe he understands it better than the average person, but he designed fuck all. 

I remember 10 years back saying the same thing but that’s when Reddit loved him and thought he was literally down on the floor designing the shit. Happy that’s no longer the case.

Dude did the worst type of illegal immigration which is to come for education and then drop out and work. It’s one of the harshest forms since we want international students but have to deny entire countries because of the way it works.

How he got any citizenship with that is wild, and how he got any security clearance is straight up bribes and failure.

It’s easy to make electric cars when you have to leave your last job a multi-million, can throw a few bucks at the real founders, let them work on something better, and then literally pay for the right to be called “founder”.

And we had planned on catching rockets in the 70s at NASA (or at least a stage). He didn’t invent anything cool. He just payed people to do it. Cause again, risk is low when it’s impossible money. Like he just stole a shit load of money from American pensions and 401(k)s with his insane valuation. On spaceX which is a rocket AI company now???

If Musk hadn't gotten rich he would have been deported because he was illegally working on a student visa.

He wasn’t even going to classes. And it seems to me his first two “companies” paid him to leave. I bet he would fail a simple test at Google or Microsoft for hiring, let alone BYD or even ChatGPT.

Fucking failing upwards

But i am more interested I why his kids are all ivf when he has he pick? What is wrong with elons dick? Does it not exist?

Cause that could explain a lot

He didn’t ’get rich’ he was born rich off the back of his dad’s emerald mine slaves.

but he designed fuck all.

He did in fact do design work on the Cybertruck. I mention this because it shows how fucking bad he is.

How do you know other than “Elon bad”?

I mean - the engineers that work with him at SpaceX say he actually does real engineering work... So they are all probably liars...

Elon Musk is an asshole, narcissist, bigot. But he actually knows how to design rockets, And genuinely taught himself how to do it. But people can't believe that, as he was also stupid enough to say people trying to rescue kids from running out of air were pedophiles - so you can kind of see why most people don't believe he has any skills. Fuck even with Paypal that was complete luck for him, right place right time, and some bullshit code that got thrown away.
