    It’s ironic that Elon runs a company called Tesla, when he is so clearly a modern-day Edison. Taking credit for the great ideas of other engineers. I have always doubted his genius, because anyone who tries that hard to prove to everyone he is smart is just selling himself to make money.

    It is so clear that he lied about the video game thing because it is a tactic that has worked for him before. Fake it till you make it. We need to stop considering any actions from SpaceX or Tesla to be the fruit of Elons labor, give the credit to the engineers there and let Elon be the weirdo knock off Tony Stark he always has been.

      He literally bought the title of “founder” from the actual founders of the company. That’s… pretty ridiculous.

        He shot the car that was going to one of the founders to space after getting rid of them, the ridiculous levels are off the chart

        Probably more accurate to say he ripped it away from them than simply bought it.

      I dunno about ironic - that’s absolutely something Edison would’ve done.
