Look at this response:






Fridman was just clout chasing as always, but that Musk response is incredibly insecure and just screams "I don't want to stop doing this."

Friedman is the same clown who was defending joe Rogan when he called black people apes :camby:

And that's what I'm talking about. If I'm the CEO of Tesla I wanna be ambiguous as possible and let people project their beliefs on me. This fool out here picking sides in political arguments that have jack shyt to do with his company and doing internet trolling. His baboonery is literally costing him billions. Sometimes you just gotta know when to shut up. If he wants to troll create an untraceable alias and troll anonymously.

Yep. Ultimately, He wants to be Branson but he has no Charisma or common sense to stay above the fray.

Enjoy your stardom with the alt right weirdos.

He’s really been exposed as a trust fund baby who grew up rich and inserted himself into several successful businesses as a money guy.

There’s no way he’s actually running Tesla. He’s the public face and he raises capital but there have to be people behind him that make the actual decisions to run the business.

This is a man that spent $44 billion on Twitter and is making company impacting decisions via Twitter polls. While I don’t think he’s actually running Tesla it’s apparent he is running Twitter now and his juvenile like behavior and incompetence is showing.

Either way Twitter will go bankrupt. It’s a great idea that is difficult to transition into a great business. It’s like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. It exist, lots of people use it, but the ways to monetize that user base are difficult. Lots of people use Alexa and Amazon can’t do much more than use it as a loss leader to raise brand awareness. With Twitter that’s everything and it isn’t tied to another product.

Branson actually seems likeable. Elon is an insufferable smarmy weirdo incapable of accessing real human emotion from his databank

Tyson is a glorified teacher


Tyson has a BS in physics from Harvard, an MA in astronomy from Texas, an MPhil and PhD in astrophysics from Columbia, a three-year research postdoc at Princeton, and was employed as a staff scientist at Hayden before he became the director. He has 13 peer-reviewed publications in astronomy/astrophysics, including 5 of which for which he is first author. He has 10x more credentials than you need to be considered a scientist, and I respect his prolific science education work on top of that. There are few enough Black physicists out there that there's no need to diss anyone who has put in the work to succeed in the profession.

What I don't respect are his poorly informed opinions on social issues. Stephen Hawking and Richard Dawkins are even more highly respected scientists than Tyson, and they constantly put out stupid, ill-informed statements on social issues as well. (Sam Harris is a much less respected "scientist" than any of them and yet tries to trade off on bullshyt credentials to push sociopolitical nonsense as well.)
