A tweet (I think) from @[email protected], dated Dec. 24, 2022 :

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software and Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.

popular YouTube channels are great and informative until they make a video about a topic you're informed on and then the house of cards comes crashing down as you realize how utterly wrong they are about most things

#current events #elon musk #you'd hope that more and more people would be reaching this conclusion #and yet #(never forget: two other guys actually founded Tesla and came up with the cars and batteries;#Musk bought them out and then had them sign NDAs basically that said they couldn't SAY they were the founders/inventers #he just blatantly took someone else's work and then passed it off as his own genius #(we tend to call that plagiarism but i guess when it's a business and you've put down a pile of money it's okay?)#people have noted that Tesla's basic car design has not really changed since those early days #all their models (except: we'll get to that in a minute) are very same-y #so it's kind of notable that the things that Musk himself has introduced are the things that become famous for being stupid #or just poor quality; see: the Cybertruck (told you we'd get there)#of course i'm also writing these tags on Jan 23rd 2025 when we've just had a very high-profile video #of Musk doing a Nazi salute at the inauguration go around #so; fold that into everything too
