Starting a successful car company from the ground up is one of the hardest things to do, not only did Elon do that, he created the the first EVs for mass consumption while also laying the foundation for their use with the Supercharger network. He followed that up with SpaceX — launching rockets into space, which I hear is pretty hard to do. To say that his accomplishments are mostly due to luck is ridiculous.
Let’s be real here, y’all hate him because he owns Twitter. This thread didn’t blow up until he did. I don’t own a Tesla but I do spend a lot of time on Twitter. I appreciate what he is done to remove the censorship that plagued it in the past. Twitter still drives conversation for sports and politics and makes up a large percentage of posts on this site. Remember all the hype about Threads last summer from the same haters here. We don’t hear much about Threads anymore because it sucks. Anyone who prefers a Zuckerberg owned product over Twitter needs to have their head examined.
