He also hired people to fudge the fucking numbers. At one point he had more venture capital in pure slush money than the entire US automobile market had in their banks.

There was never any reason for that other than defrauding investors.

    The Elongated Muskrat is the weirdest hype beast I’ve ever seen.

    He stumbles his way through sentences, has zero confidence when speaking, and ummm and uhhhs like a college freshman doing his first presentation that he prepared the morning of.

    And yet, he’s generated billions of dollars in funding based purely off of hype for things that he, by track record, only has about a 10% chance of delivering.

    It’s bizarre.

    Occasionally, I get video links from people praising how great and visionary Musk is. Then I look at the video, and all I see is a mediocre presentation. He should consider taking a few courses on public speaking. That could make him deliver his ideas more fluently, but at the moment I’m having trouble taking him seriously.
