Elon Musk is a hero. It is really as simple as that.

[El Monstro]

I think he is bipolar and in a manic phase, but that’s just my unprofessional opinion.

Are his actions heroic? That’s not an easy question to answer but given his wealth and stature I would have to say no. A real hero is someone like a combat medic or dissident reporter, who has to overcome fear of life or death consequences and risks all to follow their values.

Musk is untouchable and he knows it. Losing $44B would be uncomfortable but he would still be a billionaire many times over.

He’s just another rich man throwing his wealth around to attract attention.

[Carpe Vinum]

U think it was all his $44B and no investors?

U think this was entirely altruistic and there’s no financial gains to be made here?

U don’t think Twitter’s attempt at e-commerce isn’t something to consider?

U think he’s really manic and just throwing money around to attract attention?

Strange, albeit myopic, vantage point.

Or just unprofessional opinions, like u said.

[El Monstro]

He will presumably have to reimburse his investors or maybe not, in which case he has even less skin in the game.

I see that you don’t like my opinion, what is yours? Do you think he is “heroic”?

[Carpe Vinum]

Reimburse his investors?? Ur killing me.

Heroic? Hardly.

Way smarter than u and me and 99% of the planet ?

Obviously yes.

[El Monstro]

He is definitely smart and successful. And he might even make money on this deal.

[Lee Morris]

If I were you I would sell Tesla stock, if you own any. Musk has strayed into a messy place, and he knows it.

[Carpe Vinum]

Ur comments are killing me. Just sayin.

[Learning]

I hope all his accomplishments aren't destroyed in the process. I want him to be even more successful. He's different.
