often right than wrong

Elon Musk called out journalists for debunking his predictions, claiming that on average he's most likely more wrong than right.

"If you list my sins, I sound like the worst person on Earth. But if you put those against the things I've done right, it makes much more sense, you know," Musk said in a video interview published Monday with Chris Anderson, head of conference organizers TED.

Musk described it as "very annoying when that happens."

"What tends to happen is I'll make some best guess and then in five years there will be some jerk that writes some article: 'Elon said this would happen and it didn't happen! He's a liar and a fool!'" Musk said.

Oh FFS get over yourself.

1. "It's not fair! I only have more money than anyone ever! I have been wronged!

2. He really is full of himself.

Not everyone is obsessing over you, Musk.

Just because he's become the new Trump fanboy's darling doesn't mean anyone other than them gives a crap about what he thinks.

3. "If you list my sins, I sound like the worst person on Earth."

Or you can just listen to him for five minutes.

4. Affluenza...

There is no cure, apparently.

5. His promises go beyond any safe harbor exception

They are PT Barnum level falsehoods. Check out Thunderfoot's Youtube channel where he summarizes many of them.

The biggest problem is the access media unwillingness to challenge the initial falsehood. The media should be willing to call up a technical expert and the larger organizations should have scientific journalists on staff.

6. This guy has some serious issues.

Money, genius in some ways, nut case in others. Scares me.

7. Poor baby. He's so marginalized and misunderstood.

8. Once, in a magazine article,

Elon Musk's mother was quoted as saying that sometimes he wouldn't speak for days at a time and would just crawl into his brain and stay there, not communicating with anyone.

9. Musk's Mistake

is equating the amount of money he has made with intelligence. Maybe you just happened to be in the right place at the right time or maybe you just made sure others with your ideas never got to see the light of day. At some point your pocket book becomes so large it becomes almost a certainty that it will get larger no matter what you do.

10. What an entitled asshole.

11. K&R for the FFS

12. We had a guy at our office who made a huge mistake.

A six-figure mistake that we had to eat. As he was waiting to get fired, he complained that nobody was counting the thousands of times he didn’t make a six-figure mistake.
