In 1995, Musk and his brother, Kimbal, started Zip2, a web software company, with US$28,000 of their father’s (Errol Musk) money
Tesla Motors was incorporated in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, who financed the company until the Series A round of funding. Both men played active roles in the company’s early development prior to Elon Musk’s involvement.
Responding to a screenshot of a CNN headline that read, “2% of Elon Musk’s wealth could help solve world hunger, says director of UN food scarcity organization,” Musk tweeted that if the U.N. World Food Program “can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.”
WFP director David Beasley called his bluff, and actually outlined how the organization would use the $6.6 billion. Musk, who is worth approximately $239.2 billion, never responded to Beasley.
God. Can you imagine how much better his reputation would be if he just said. “okay, let’s go”
I hate Elon, but the point he was trying to make about the $6b for world hunger is that the world is so corrupt it would never work.
It’s corrupt because of people like him.
My favorite infuriating part is how both lists aren’t even sorted the same. First is ascending date, second is descending.
And one uses age while the other uses date
Thank you!!! THAT was the infuriating part for me. lol
I’m so mad at this tweet post, nothing is OK in it.
Are we not talking about the fact that one is sorted by date and the other with the age that its creator had at the time of making.
I love comparing apples to orangutans. Really paints a clear picture.
I’m pretty sure the only of those companies Musk actually started were Zip2 and The Boring Co.
Picture seems to be gone? I don’t know how lemmy works. But here was the picture
