Having the money to invest in your ideas is a different thing from having ideas. Pretty sure every kid has thought of rockets that land or electric cars by the time they're in 2nd grade.
He happened to have the money and the willingness to spend it at the same time the tech was becoming available to do those things.
Doesn't make him a genius, as you can see by his stupid ideas that haven't worked like drilling under cities and buying Twitter.
not being invited to Davos isn't a big deal. Telling people you were invited when you weren't makes you look like a complete clown though. >


not being invited to Davos isn't a big deal.

100% - i do it every year without even thinking about it >

I have not been invited for 51 years straight, you don’t see me complaining. >

Plot twist: you're 54 and went all through your infancy. >

Until...the incident. >

We don’t talk about the incident. >

“Musk is invited everywhere.”
- Musk >

Because everyone loves people who talk about themselves in the turd person.
Edit: one too many letters. >

…in the turd person. >

Leave us out of this. We don't claim him. >

What?! A sentient turd?! TIL…
I don’t blame you for not wanting to associate yourselves with an inferior brand of excrement. >

I bet nothing roils him more than not being good enough for something (and everything). >

Daddy didn’t hug him enough growing up >

Given that his dad is sleeping with his sister, maybe better to not get hugged by him if you can avoid it. >

The one reasonable thing Errol Musk ever did was not defend Elon after some other kid hospitalized him for making fun of his father’s suicide. >

Wait.... What? >

Musk: "I didn't go because it is boring."
Davos: "You didn't go because you were not invited."
Twitter: Davos Account Banned for racism. >

They discriminated against an African American though
/s >

"..because it sound boring af lol."
He cant even pretend to act his age, let alone be a decent human being >

Hard to pretend to be a decent human being when you aren't. Musk is the worst of us. >


Musk is the worst of us.

He truly is. 
So when somebody says that they still like/admire Musk, it reveals what kind of shit bag they are. >

Exactly! 
Musk didn't invent anything. He stole and invested in all of the tech he's involved in. He's responsible for PayPal and I have a hard time with the idea that someone else wasn't responsible for it's being too >

He isn't even responsible for PayPal. He started X.com which got bought by Confinity. He was then shortly after fired and then Confinity rebranded as PayPal and got bought by Ebay. Nothing Musk did was used in PayPal. All his code from X.com was pure garbage and was scrapped as useless.
Musk likes to try to take credit for PayPal just like he tries to take credit for everything else he involves himself in while not actually doing anything and lying about what he did. Just like how he claims to have founded Tesla and had nothing to do with that either. >


He started X.com which got bought by Confinity.

X.com was not bought by Confinity, the two merged.
Confinity had the customer base with its Paypal platform, but was underfunded to develop it, X.com did not have the customer base, but was cash rich due to Musks own money (from  Zip2 sale) and investors (and also had a banking licence)
Don't think there was any "code from Musk" in X.com platform as he always says last time he coded was zip2...actually there was not much to the X.com "platform" anyway as it was an "online bank" that only existed independently for about 4 months
Looking at the details it would be kind of appropriate to say X.com bought into Confinity though >

Musk still had nothing to do with the founding of Paypal. He can claim what he wants but he is still lying. >

Him and Thiel are still tight to this day though (both lean heavily right), they both probably just let it slide as a quid pro quo. >

Well making a few hundred million together will heal most disputes >

Well to be fair its not the 'economic losers' summit. Unless they all needed a lesson on how to lose billions in a few months. >

Hey, he lost the MOST billions. >

I love how Elon bought Twitter and basically outed himself as a terrible capitalist and clueless people manager. >

I think Edward Norton did great impersonating him in the movie version of him in Glass Onion. Idiot that knows how to use other people’s great ideas. Sounds about right. >

He didn't even know how to use other people's idea's, he just spouts random shit and the people around him make happen what they were already capable of.
Reminds me of Musk's cameo in Iron Man 2 when he tells Tony Stark he has an idea for electric airplanes. It's like, no shit, anyone can have ideas, ideas are easy. It takes someone like Stark to actually make them. >

Yeah I mean he talks a good game, but when are we going to see rockets that land or an electric car revolution? It's all talk from Musk.
