@channingdeadnight "All musk does is steal unworkable ideas from the past and pretend
they're his own. The few projects he has that actually work are using
technology from the sixties that we have had for ever."
You contradict yourself. An "unworkable idea" is, by definition, an idea that cannot be made to work.
The IDEAS of reusable rockets and electric vehicles are ideas that we have had for a long time. But an IDEA is NOT a "technology".
"Like almost every billion air out there he is a con man " [sic]
That is an absurd generalization. Entrepreneurs drive our economy through innovation. That is why the West has so much wealth. Con games don't generate wealth, they just redistribute it.
"making profit through government subsidies."
Launch and development contracts are not subsidies. They are payment for services.
"This is a man who stole a pocket full of emeralds from his father for spending money when he was a child."
Where would a upper middle class real estate dealer get a pocketful of emeralds? Elon responded to this slander:
“This is a pretty awful lie,” Elon tweeted. “I left South Africa by myself when I was 17 with just a backpack & suitcase of books.
Worked on my Mom’s cousin’s farm in Saskatchewan & a lumber mill in
Vancouver. Went to Queens Univ with scholarship & debt, then same to
UPenn/Wharton & Stanford.”
In a follow-up tweet, Elon said his father “didn’t own an emerald mine"
"He has never had an original idea in his life that has succeeded."
He is not an idea man, he is an engineer/entrepreneur. He succeeded with a software project when he was a teenager. He succeeded with Pay Pal as a very young man. He succeeded with electric vehicles. He was not the first to try, but the first to succeed. He succeeded with reusable rockets, currently in a position to profit from underselling all his launch competition. He was not the first to try, but the first to succeed. Some of his major ideas have not yet come to fruition. None of them have failed.
" If you disagree with what I'm saying look it up do some research and you'll find out everything I said was the truth."
None of what you're saying is even coherent. It doesn't rise to the level of error.
