But when it comes to politics, some of the ideas he propagates on his social networks seem pretty ridiculous to me.

First you shouldn't think he himself has done the engineering of electric vehicles or of towers that can catch spent rocket boosters. But he has at the least been willing to finance wild assed ideas and presumably been canny enough to anticipate which wild assed ideas can be made to work.
The later is a pretty unique talent.
I would not support all of Elon's politics. I do think he should stay out of geopol and it is just not his place to meddle in the Russian war or contradict his gov't.
On the broad sweep on how a society should run - particularly on censorship - I would support or at least think those viewpoints need to be considered. A lot of his thoughts are not particularly original.
Overall he has made some good technical calls but you can't consider him a font of wisdom.
A lot of the time it comes down to value judgement. Real politik gives one answer - might is right. Freedom gives you another. I don't see Elon's value judgement being inherently more valuable than yours or mine or that of the collective.
He is not the genius that people claim him to be. He was first with paypal and then he used his rich moms money to buy tesla and took the former owners blueprints to create new vehicles and did well off of the formers work, but after that he hasn't proved himself to be reliable. For example he promised to create the high-speed rail using a pneumatic tube which is a really old and outdate technology and was obvious not going to work. He took public money and then just abandoned the project. His Cybertruck was a big flop.
I remember 8 years ago he was talking his self-driving car everyone thought it was the future and it's over for drivers and truck drivers and the technology still sucks and most people are still driving cars with a human because AI is not reliable at all.
Him and his mom earlier this year were complaining to the government to give Elon Musk more government subsidy's to pay for his space project. Honestly I think he is mostly full shit. He's good at taking from the government or using other people's work, but he can't really come up with anything himself. A successful business man sure, but he got there off his mothers success and connections if he was an average guy who wasn't born with a rich mom he would be working a low-wage job.
No wonder he loves trump the could be kissing cousins, both are actually nothing but shit with each getting their wealth from a relative. Now they want to become the brain trusts of USA. I just wonder if musk is a pedophile like trump is!
The train idea may never work for the same reason surface trains don't work, but the prequeist technology being developed by his boring company will be extremely useful on earth and even more on Mars.
That is likely where the train is really headed.
I think he is nothing more than a filthy rich moron (used his mothers wealth) to begin his run with idiot idea's which have failed miserably and continues to fleece the US for free money to fund his projects.
I don't hate the guy, and I did like him when he guest starred on the Big Bang Theory. I guess what I do like about Elon Musk is that he's creative

I like him overall, I havven't studied his ideas on policy. I have some crazy policies as well. He did well in his town hall on his own. He is not a politician. I consider him a huge asset to the country and to Trumps cabinet.
If he could find a way to even cut a few billions out of the govt waste, that be amazing...
I expect nothing though... his idea of building a rocket to get the H out of here is a good one:) Luckily, Jesus built my rocket... thank you Jesus!
Would you be willing to make one of his kids like all the other women?
The world always needs innovators who create and get things done. I am thankful for him. He is also trying to hang on to free speech. Twitters wouldn't allow the PRESIDENT to post? Banned anyone who challenged Covid shit downs and mandorary shots, banned any talk of the Hunter Biden laptop files while the previous election was going on.
We are talking 1984 level "approved speak" and one approved narrative, like Banana Republics have. So him getting rid of all of the bubble only opinions allowed on Twitter is a win for free speech.
He is awesome. Thanks to him, Twitter is now open for most views to be stated and read. Thanks to him, we have the best space program in the world by far. Thanks to him, we have the world’s best electric car maker.
‘’What is strange is the US government demanding that SpaceX grab baby seals, attach headphones to their heads and play recordings of sonic booms to see if it bothers them. Not once did them make him do this but twice! They are nuts!
He was just showing off when he saved those astronauts’ lives.
@TurtlePoop Yes, NASA and Boeing were lucky he was around. Both of those organizations are crippled with bureaucracy and DEI which makes them ineffective.
Did you know that Joe Biden is suing Elon because he refuses to hire illegal workers? Is that what they mean when they say you’re damned if you do, and you’re damnef if you don’t?
@TurtlePoop I did not know that. The Democrats have turned this country upside down. They will wonder why the country failed in a decade and likely blame others than themselves. It is a sad state of affairs.

This is the interview that everyone should see. Elon talks about a law that forbids him from hiring anyone other than permanent residents and citizens.
INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC AND ARMS REGULATIONS
He explains that Space X develops advanced missile technology that can be used in nuclear ICBM's, so it's against the law for him to hire asylum seekers. So Biden is suing Elon because he won't break the law.
It's no secret that Biden wants Elon behind bars. So Biden is suing Elon, because Elon refuses to break the law. Make sense? ↗
@TurtlePoop Typical government nonsense coupled with political payback.
The left LOVED disinformation when it worked in their favor, but when it doesn't, free speech needs to be silenced.
Like many overly successful famous people George Lucas, Elon musk, Jerry Jones. Once they have the power the people who tell them how it is disappear and the kiss asses who tell them they are wonderful multiply. Resulting in severe confirmation bias and severe cognitive errors.
I don't trust the guy at all, I think its the case of evil trying to act good.
Like brain implants really? Spy satellites? Really? Lying about the usefulness of green energy? He's doing all the wrong things and I have to believe that he is doing it for the greater good. Not falling for it.
On the personal front, Musk is just another billionaire dickhead who believes his employees are slaves and we're all here to enrich him. He supports that kind of fascist mentality, hence he supports Trump. That said, some of the chances he's willing to take when it comes to technology are admirable, but he doesn't seem to think some of them through.
He's a global menace, an authoritarian bigoted megalomaniac, an egotistical xenophobe, an illegal immigrant who committed crimes but wasn't deported, a puppet master for governments, a liar, a robber baron, a misogynist and a snake oil salesman who respects no law but his own.
Knobhead. Yes I think a lot of what his companies do is good but that doesn't excuse his childish behaviour. A lot of people got hurt and property damaged in the UK during the race riots as a direct result of his shit stirring.
He is entitled to his opinion whats happening in any country. If the ordinary folk are so dumb, that they can't use their critcal thinking skills to judge a situation or what people have a opinion on. Maybe we should be more concerned about each other, rather some celebrity telling us what he or she thinks.
However his point about civil war in the UK, was over the top and not necessary. It was just stupid people using any exuse to create violence and steal. Elon musk is not the knobhead, the knobheads are the English people stealing and being violent for no reason.
Obama is no different, coming over telling the people in the UK to vote to stay in brexit.
Not really his fault the majority of humans are imbeciles though.
He's entitled to his opinion but you can be mindful on how you express that opinion. He's already got the ear of those in power so what's he gaining by rattling the monkeys cage.
very true.
Now I can understand why you call him a knobhead, but the British are just as knobheads as him. Elon is not very mindful to people feelings and situation, cause he autism, I heard brother say, they used have huge arguments of not understanding peoples feeling.
@SlightlyMental Yes we can all be at times. But i am talking about certain situations, because people can't think for themselves, rather than listening to a celebrity, who has an opinion on something. Maybe Elon is a dickhead, but the British people who went out to create violence and steal stuff are bigger knobheads. Elon is entitled to his view of what was happening in the uk, whether we agree or disagree is up to the indivdual. Elon statement is not really a big deal.
At the end of the day, our government need to take responsibilty for whats happening, rather distracting the issue of what really going on, looking to blame some celebrity on his opinion. Everyone moaning and complaining about elon statement, I am like pissoff, who care what he says, just get on and sort the country out, its a mess. Elon is not revelant to the uk issues.
A brilliant man who apples his intelligence to real problems of economics in innovation unlike far too many brilliant academics. As a result he hires great people and drives them to gets a lot of things done, and runs very successful companies.
I grew up around many of the smartest people in the world, i think many would rival Musk if only they had applied their intelligence to the real problems of economics.
He has made me a lot of money so my view on him might be biased. But i think he is very smart and logical. Nowadays people are more emotional instead of logical. So some of the things he says might be sound rude, but those things are probably true. Because truth is often times ugly.
I know he wants to save the world, only if it is 100% HIS DOING.
If he isn’t at the center of it then he will gladly eat popcorn watching it all burn down.
the classic example of... "anything for attention" and "any attention is good for me"
I think he has perfect view , when it comes to politics, because the democrats are destroying america. Kamala has no idea, she will be another female version of biden.
He is a pretty amazing guy. He is a scientist as well as a good businessman. It will be interesting to see if he can reduce government waste. I am thinking he will piss a lot of people off but will save the taxpayers a bundle.
Are you saying that the first lady doesn’t need 18 assistants?
Did you know he bought Tesla? He didn't even start it.
Currently, he is trying to pay people to vote for the evil Donald Trump.
Elon Musk is a selfish, fucking fascist.
It's weird how someone can be so smart but so goddamn stupid at the same time.
I think he is one of the best businessmen and entrepreneurs in history. His ideas about advancing Humanity are second to none. Politically he is siding with those who will help him achieve his vision and I heartily approve
All I know is that the left hates him, and the right loves him.. He's a great businessman obviously, and seems to have a passion for science and free speech..
He's like a less evil version of Bill Gates.. a super rich guy who acts like he's God because he's super rich.. I agree with Elon on a lot of things he says actually but he still gives Lex Luther vibes..
I think he's a hero. however I dont like his ideas of putting microchips in our brains like he once claimed. if this was to happen the we are gonna be bound to live in a Harrison Bergeron type of world
I watched a video of him explaining his view on artificial intelligence. He's not for it or against it. I think that's the same with all of us.
Bollox?
He's fine until you start getting into his transhumanism projects.
I cannot think anything good of someone naming his kid: X Æ A-Xii
He acts like his opinion is the most valuable thing in the world
I think he is a genius. I own one of his cars.
He is an idiot. Space X is financed through taxes. I believe Nasa wasn't good enough at making space a fancy thing so they found some guy who could by lying to the cheering crowd.
His genius and wealth is no match for the members of this site.
his haters wish they were in his position to use his wealth but they'd never use for anything for the betterment of humanity
He's doing a lot of achievements for man kind, can't bash on him
I like him for not being afraid of suffering financial losses in research and innovation fields.
A prima-donna of some talent who unfortunately mistakes good fortune and black swans for divine right
Agreed. Electric cars and settling on Mars is ridiculous
It’s ridiculous to have a problem with government censoring free speech?
I think he needs some pointers on building cars
I think he may be one of the great figures of our current age, but he is cringe sometimes.
Don't like his view on UBI at all.
Otherwise, I like the guy.
I think he is very rich, and I guess I'm totally right about that :P
Well, He's liked a couple of my Twitter comments, and "followed" me, so...
I think he’s kind of a cunt
Lucky to have him. Smart!
He is just another rich ahole.
Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
I really like him.
He does something right or he would be broke.
No opinion. Literally.
I think he is somewhat autistic actually.
A POS like his boy Trump !!!
