Why does everyone hate him now?
Six months ago he was the last bastion in sustainable urban development and space travel innovation.
Now everyone thinks he's literally the anti-christ because of some little submarine and for donating to conservative PACs, even though he's openly a fiscal conservative.
Even reddit loathes him more than Trump
What the fuck happened?
Other urls found in this thread:
i still like him. he’s like what ever computer/science geek hopes to be.
maybe envy?
He donated to Republicans
He is not progressive enough.
Progress is not about energy efficiency and s-p-a-c-e anymore, it is about checking your wh*te privilege and respecting my pronounce.
But he is a republican, he's as fiscally conservative as they come
And yet conservatives still hate him
all he does it take gov hand outs
licks gov ass for money
spends it on pr
sick of him.
t neooooooo nazhzhzhzzziiiii trump dudebro
found the libertarian.
>Elon musk asks a simple question about who controls the media.
>Gets immediately bombed with accusations of being a nazi, bigot, white supremacist, and antisemite without bringing up jews once.
Lefties hate him because he has controversial opinions and identifies as a righty
Righties hate him because he's threatening big energy, big auto, and big aerospace profits
Normies hate him because both sides are dumping negative press on him at all times
Tesla's poor safety record isn't a matter of opinion.
He's a self promoting bullshit artist.
b-but he invented paypal..r-right guys?
In what part of my post did I say that Tesla wasn't shit? I just said that they're stepping on big toes.
so he's a billionaire?
Only journalists hate him, because he recently badmouthed them and said he was never going to advertise in their newspapers. That's all.
He is probably "ok", but he wants to appear as much more than ok and his fanboys think he is god. He didn't create much, he only lives on hype.
I agree 100%. i prefer it much more when it's defense contractors taking government handouts at much steeper and longer rates rather than dirty evil musk.
He unintentionally offended the Jews.
Are they going to destroy him now?
Most people I know like him
You probably just hang out primarily on Jow Forums, and Jow Forums hates everything that's popular, good, or in any way accomplished. You're getting a skewed view from concentrated autismos
I love how this guy made a fortune being an ambulance chaser for the gubbermint but hates the idea of paying taxes himself.
Fuck him desu
He's rich enough and has a social media presence. He's pretty safe, they'll stop shitting on him eventually when they run out of things to attack.
Just google "Elon Musk" and see the headlines, they're all negative
This 100%. The military industrial complex has truly uplifted our lives with things like cheap jet travel, GPS, the internet, advancements in metallurgy, night vision, drone tech, etc. The fuck has Musk done other than make a meme car and a shitty "flame thrower".
LIbertarians love musk though. They see themselves in him.
Well yeah, he recently insulted all journalist so they're throwing a bitch fit and attacking him. That doesn't at all represent the opinion of the general public though, as usual.
Social media faggots hate him
Most normies couldn't give less of a fuck or slightly admire him
And he still has his cult of personality defending him even from the valid complaints (How he treats employees, how he treats spouses, how many corners he cuts)
He pissed off big media and now he's gettinh ate spammed. Normies are fickle and easily manipulated so they're jumping on the elon hate train.
he makes shit up like his relanding rocket wasent the first i think mcdonald duglass made one that could do what his does also the hyper loop is a joke
>The fuck has Musk done
Reusable rockets
Luxury electric cars
Easy online payment (paypal)
Largest battery factory in the states
Exactly this. He pissed off (((them)))
And he wasn't even trying to either. That's what makes it funny.
Because he donated to the Republicans and the whole communications channels in US are democrats. News media, Google, facebook, twitter, they control the narrative, they will tell to people what they want them to hear.
He's succeeding.
all done thanks to government handouts :^)
The main reason i hate him is because he is constantly making stupid tweets and opinions like any other famous person
I like him, but I agree, he needs to shut the fuck up
Because Jow Forums is a bunch of normies larping as autists so they're going to pick up on the mainstream narrative and parrot it. Right now the mainstream narrative of Musk is negative. When the news cycle flips, they'll go back to worshipping him.
>Why does everyone hate him now?
Oil and auto industries have been shilling against him for ages, and you can usually smell the astroturf in these threads.
And to expand on this, the conservative astroturf groups probably fucking love that he donated to them, because it gives them more material to astroturf against him since they're owned by oil.
Because he stood up against the SJWs and leftists. Can't have that obviously, since they're the "good guys" and everyone else is a baddie.
>does stupid shit, announces fantasy technologies, wastes resources and tweets too much
>people around him don't try to stop him because it's always PR worthy
>he's really just autistic
its easy to hate on good and popular things
see linus for example or ijustine
people also think it makes them look cool or look like a good person to pretend to be interested/like ugly or weird looking things
see level 1 techs for example
i wonder when the 'neural lance' is coming out
>why does everyone hate him now
they dont
He said C++ is garbage. His autism is really starting to show :(
>He said C++ is garbage
It is
He's south african, and he is racist.
I'd put money you program in python
>program
>python
hahahahahahah
Here and there. Mostly C# and Elixir at work though.
>implying
>that 30 year old boomer who is fiscally conservative and socially liberal
This.
People in this thread keep saying all he does is take government handouts but what he's done in these industries is quite impressive.
Actually, NASA had reusable rockets before Musk. Blue Origin was formed by the engineers that worked on the original program.
>Luxury electric cars
Yeah, after serious subsidization and huge cash burns quarter after quarter with no end in sight.
>Easy online payment
Anyone could've done this. It's a vacuum fill and hardly worth mentioning. It was also started with a loan from his papa.
>Largest battery factory in the states
Remarkable (not)
>Using a shitty meme that doesnt even make sense.
Go back to /v/ you retarded faggot.
>Inb4 liberal cunt
I don't live in the US and our political system is completely different from yours.
got me kekekee
not him but the boomer meme is one of the best things to come out of the woodwork in a while. it's well-detailed, cute, and I enjoy seeing the variations and spins taken on it. you gotta take a chill pill man, its just a meme
Because Tesla fanboys are fucking annoying as FUCK FUCK FUCK. Also Tesla takes government handouts and does nothing.
>Nasa had reusable rockets
They weren't affordable.
>Yeah, after serious subsidization
Every single gas burning vehicle in existence has been "seriously subsidized."
Elon need to pull cock out his ass and fly to the Moon do a moon mission for new generation live stream it etc
To iterate old shits did a moon mission but we can't but we can make crazy software I'm talking things most can't fathom but older generations did more irl nukes skyscrapers moon mission not just digital engineering
And if you want to mention haldron that thing is a piece of useless shit that costs wayy too much
Hating popular things is the new meme
People love to be like "Pssh, I've hated musk for years, I TOLD YOU SO" any time anyone slips up
Even if that day never comes.
Boomers are 60+ and not 30. There was literally no birth wave 30 years ago. It's a really lazy recycling of an actual funny meme and its just plain dumb.
His arrogant attitude towards Tesla 3 fiasco and the fact that Tesla has not made a single penny in profits kind of makes me think if he is actually capable to run a company on his own. Every company he has does not stand on its own, but is funded with tax money
>white afrikaner kid who got big off of appartheid money
>huge weirdo, read a few interviews and its creepy how he sounds like a legit alien
>anti-union
>treats workers like shit
>uses huge amount of tax money while not actually having a good business case for anything he makes and none of tge things he wants to make actually benefit a large sum of people
>completely detached from reality
>did the extremely cringey pr stunt where he tried to take credit for saving the kids in thailand.
im sure ill think of more but thats it fr now
This is the meme Tesla made self driving electric car ai powered controls and meanwhile you have these guys driving and saying it's usess you save people and planet nobody else is last time I was at store seen a Mexican lady with like 7 kids and I thought Jesus this planet is doomed
maybe find some less liberal news feeds i guess
>the guy the government keeps throwing millions upon millions at with tax money gives back to the government
Extra extra read all about it.
No fucking shit.
>the fact that Tesla has not made a single penny in profits
Tesla is competing with massive companies in an industry that requires a massive investment into infrastructure and tooling. If it wants to eventually hit a major automaker's production numbers, then it should probably keep spending.
Which is what it is doing.
Which is why it has a high market cap that makes people who don't know anything about manufacturing confused.
youtube.com
Seems very trustworthy to dismiss questions as "boneheaded" and "dry" when you talk about money
that's the point of the meme you dip, it's supposed to be grossly exaggerating the actual meaning of a buzzword to parody the widespread incorrect usage of generation-specific labels. it's not supposed to be accurate, it's supposed to be tongue-in-cheek and humorous.
It's not about making money it's about advancing tech when I seen Elon made a self driving electric car with ai controller I knew something was done Ford dodgr none of them did that but every sap chewing fat fucker is driving them Elon isn't about money but advancing tech including the mini sub used on Thai cave rescue
"I have no interest in satisfying the desires of daytraders" is fucking honest.
everyone's already forgotten he made himself the enemy of every "news" outlet in the entire world? even if he invented a time machine and went back in time to undo 9/11 crybaby millennials would still hate him
he is just making buzz
just like trump
bad free PR is better than no PR
>They weren't affordable.
They were designed, for the most part, in 1969. Of course they weren't affordable.
>Every single gas burning vehicle in existence has been "seriously subsidized."
And nobody is sucking Jim Hackett off, are they? Mary Barra wasn't boosted to meteoric fame for hiring engineers and directing them to build a car, which for all intents and purposes isn't unique. Sergio Marchionne doesn't get front page headlines on a weekly basis for pushing out a shitty flamethrower. As a matter of fact, nobody even knows who the fuck those people are.
>Sergio Marchionne doesn't get front page headlines on a weekly basis for pushing out a shitty flamethrower.
he's too busy setting his own company on fire
>Comparing apples to oranges
You are comparing the likes of a good wine house to fucking coca-cola
Found the muskrat
>ask who runs the media on twitter
>your public image goes to shit overnight
just a coincidence goyim!
>Asks who controls the media.
>People leap to conclusions and call him an anti-semite.
ZOGfags really fucked up on that one
It's only a few "american socialist" and trannies. They're just overrepresented online.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
>people found out he donated to a republican super pac and journofags saw the opportunity for easy clicks
FTFY
he also said that he donates to both parties
>that 30 year old boomer who can't stay up to date with the latest memes
They found out he leans right wing kek
>used to hate how the media would suck this cocks faggot at a moments notice
>they all turned on him like absolute semites
>feel like i must at least defend him in some way
truly i am contrarian in the deepest levels of my soul
Elon Musk is one celebrity that I actually find enjoyable to follow, the constant media screeching is hilarious plus rockets r cool. I hope he makes that journo review site because it will permanently btfo journalists.
>tfw downvoting CNN
top kek
>Actually, NASA had reusable rockets before Musk. Blue Origin was formed by the engineers that worked on the original program.
And where are their reusable rockets now?
>Yeah, after serious subsidization and huge cash burns quarter after quarter with no end in sight.
So, what? Other companies don't take subsidies? Should he deny them like a brainlet just so you don't have a pretense to hate him?
>Anyone could've done this. It's a vacuum fill and hardly worth mentioning. It was also started with a loan from his papa.
If anyone could have done it why didn't you? And he was already a millionaire by then through Zip2. At least get your facts right, you idiot.
>Remarkable (not)
If you say so.
Welcome to the Musk cult, we have cool rockets and anime grills.
>And where are their reusable rockets now?
The engineers are at Blue Origin, where Jeff Bezos an actual entrepreneur is funding his actual company with his actual money.
>So, what? Other companies don't take subsidies? Should he deny them like a brainlet just so you don't have a pretense to hate him?
He's not doing anything new or progressive, let's face it, he's filling voids (poorly) with technologies that were already around.
>If anyone could have done it why didn't you?
This is irrelevant, also I was like 14 when the market was saturated.
>And he was already a millionaire by then through Zip2. At least get your facts right, you idiot.
>Global Link Information Network was founded in 1995 by brothers Elon and Kimbal Musk and Greg Kouri in Palo Alto, California with money raised from a small group of angel investors, plus US$6,000 from Kouri. In Ashlee Vance's biography of Elon Musk, it is claimed that the Musks' father, Errol Musk, provided them with US$28,000 during this time, but Elon Musk later denied this.
Also IT bubble success, real cool, super respectable, totally not right place right time.
if everyone hates him, he probably is doing something good
>He didn't create much
Dude created more in 30 years than all your ancestors combined.
>The engineers are at Blue Origin, where Jeff Bezos an actual entrepreneur is funding his actual company with his actual money.
Learn to read, faggot. Where are their reusable rockets? SpaceX is already flying missions and undercutting the competition by millions. Also
>sucking Jeff Bezos's balls
wew
>He's not doing anything new or progressive, let's face it, he's filling voids (poorly) with technologies that were already around.
Which car maker has EVs as good as Teslas? Name the models please.
>This is irrelevant, also I was like 14 when the market was saturated.
Then why didn't your faggot of a father or anyone else?
>Also IT bubble success, real cool, super respectable, totally not right place right time.
So what? Everybody who is successful was at the right place at the right time. You sound like a salty loser.
Based Elon, fuck Jews
>he's filling voids
Besides how stupid do you have to be to hold this against him? This is literally what every new business tries to do.
I'm just saying he's got the capital to fund it, filling in market share with pre-existing technology and concepts isn't that impressive, and by that very same logic neither is Musk or his ventures, certainly not as noteworthy as the media seems to make it. There are far more important, influential, esteemed, and ingenious people in the world that don't get any attention whatsoever. That includes his engineers.
>Learn to read, faggot. Where are their reusable rockets? SpaceX is already flying missions...
Presumably they're being tested so they don't drop their rockets, or their payloads, one of which is intended to be people. The latter payload is extraordinarily safety sensitive. Moreover in testing they've had exactly zero failures. Finally, crewed flight later this year and commercial flights next.
>...undercutting the competition by millions.
Wow, it's like Comcast cutting 10% off of their monthly billing. They recently hiked prices as well.
>Which car maker has EVs as good as Teslas? Name the models please.
Wholly irrelevant, especially considering pricing.
>Then why didn't your faggot of a father or anyone else?
>PayPal was established in December 1998 as Confinity, a company that developed security software for handheld devices founded by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, Luke Nosek, and Ken Howery.
>Confinity merged with X.com, an online banking company founded by Elon Musk.
>Elon Musk was replaced by Peter Thiel as CEO of X.com. The X.com company was then renamed PayPal in 2001
>expanded rapidly throughout the year until company executives decided to take PayPal public in 2002. Paypal's IPO listed under the ticker PYPL at $13 per share and ended up generating over $61 million.
Then eBay bought it and that's pretty much the end, it's really questionable how much Elon had to do with any of it. Go check out the X.com wikipedia page and see how much of a shit it was worth.
because he questioned journalism
apparently what the media (including reddit) decides is that he should be marginalized because he criticized their system
