Elon Musk is a total fraud

One disastrous tweet has finally revealed Elon Musk for what he is: a fraud.

Enraged that a British cave diver called his idea to rescue the Thai soccer team for what it was — “a p.r. stunt [with] absolutely no chance of working” — Musk took to Twitter and called him a “pedo.”

Just like that, Tesla’s market value plummeted by $2 billion.

Musk has been in business since 2002. His stated goal is nothing short of transforming humanity through his products: his electric cars, space travel, and an underground high-speed Hyperloop system.

He has yet to succeed at anything but somehow spins every failure into proof of imminent success. His only accomplishment has been this decades-long Jedi mind trick.

1. Overstated

2. Maureen Callahan is a total fraud

"SpaceX — which Musk touts as replacing NASA and colonizing Mars — has been a literal failure to launch."

Maureen ain't no rocket scientist for sure, to state something that's so blatantly and obviously false. That's a Trump-caliber lie.

10. Yes

3. Plus he is giving zillions of dollars to republicans. So greed is definitely his thing.

4. Surprised to see fanboys of this narcissistic megalomaniac here.....

..especially after he was exposed as the Republican he is.

Almost as depressing as the Jeff Bezos fan club.

5. Trolls and bots are everywhere.

6. I bet you've used Paypal to pay for something. NASA uses SpaceX to get to space.

And electric cars are all that will be on the road in a 20 years. There is no doubt about this.
Where is the fraud?

But I can understand why the fossil fuel industry and the Big 3 are invested in stopping Musk. Can you?

7. "He has yet to succeed at anything?"

That's funny because 2-3 times a month I watch his "failures" launch from Kennedy, carrying supplies to the ISS & putting satellites into orbit, & just this morning I watched a Tesla successfully pass me on the way back from breakfast.

8. The batteries and solar panel businesses

Might be his real legacies, and important ones.

9. he is a bit of a narcissist

but he's had more than a few successes under his belt

can't handle criticism worth a damn, however.

11. He's not a total fraud, but he certainly tarnished his reputation with that Thai sub meltdown.

Ego is a double edged sword. It makes you persevere when others tell you you're wrong. But if it overpowers your perception of reality, it causes you to do destructive, stupid shit. For example, calling hero divers "pedos" when they bruise your ego by pointing out a painful truth about what you did.
