Richard Ojeda: Because Elon Musk doesn't invent anything. He just swoops in, buys it and takes

[highplainsdem]

credit for everything.

1. Exactly, and so many can't comprehend what Musk does. He hijacks others inventions, work

and then takes credit for it. And many proclaim him to be some type of Einstein genius. FFS, I get so tired of it all.

12. ayn randian wet-dreamers, think the business part is the most important

2. Didn't he do the same with PayPal before Tesla?

[JHB]

8. Musk was a founder of one of the companies that merged into PayPal

He was booted as CEO in favor of Peter Thiel before the company changed its name to PayPal (which had previously been the name of a product of the other company in the merger).

3. I've pointed this out to the once loud

But as of late silent Eloon DU fan club. Where have all the loons gone? Loon is a follower of cult leader Eloon.

9. They're on Twitter seeking out blasphemers to get banned.

4. So he's a high-tech Donald Trump

Complete with inherited fortune

[RKP5637]

[republianmushroom]

5. Cool

[JI7]

6. So he isn't another Steve Jobs ?

[Kennah]

22. Muskrat is dead? Oh darn.

[MichMan]

7. What was the annual sales volume of Tesla when he bought it ?

[Demsrule86]

13. He got subsidies and has had 10 years...Ford, GM and other manufacturers are about to leave this

ignorant asshole in the dust. He doesn't understand the first thing about auto manufacturing.

[lame54]

10. He's no genius. He just hires geniuses

[erronis]

17. Isn't that the same as Thomas Alva Edison? A predatory industrialist/capitalist.

Wonder if Edison would be considered a libertarian like muskles.

[lame54]

24. Twitter is his elephant...

He's burning it to the ground

[littlemissmartypants]

11. He just lost 100 BILLION DOLLARS. What a masterful feat that was.

[Scalded Nun]

14. Sounds more like a Mitt Romney kind of guy

Swoop in, take what you want, leave destruction and ruined lives/families in your wake. I guess he's still learning.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. Yep. That is what Romney did with Bain Holding. Hostile takeovers followed by vulture capitalism. $$

One is Elon Musk (duh), and the other is JB Straubel. But there were three more—and there’s a cautionary tale in why they aren’t billionaires too.
