I'm sure Elon Musk is actually a really smart guy, so how come whenever I hear him talk about technology and the future he sounds like a stoned college student
- yeah.. I hate listening to him talk. stuttering and stammering. but just cause you have good communication skills doesn't make you smart.hotroddy
- Everybody knows someone who sound just like that, so maybe he is just a normal person...inv
- Having poor verbal communication skills is an indication that you are probably not the sharpest tool in the shed.utopian
- Clearlyinv
- the dude is like 45 chessmoves ahead in his mind and has to stutter think to be able to communicate... just like a gifted 5-6 y oArchitectofFate
- I think he has serious burn out. Also he seems fairly honest and I'm sure he's working in an industry with a lot of secrets. Feel he has to fact check b4 talkinmugwart
- stuttering is innate, nothing to do with social skillsdrgs

- ahhh a sore thumb, thats not what I meant, the reason for prominence in slurring/poor speech skills with gifted children is thought to originate in how their...ArchitectofFate
- train of thought has passed the station long ago, resulting in jumping between sentences or talking to fast for others to comprehend...ArchitectofFate
- Not any smarter than the average Joe; he's just a hustler and an opportuninst / manipulator.chukkaphob
- The real super smart guys are the unsung heroes that work for him - all the engineers and scientists.chukkaphob

- i take it you've never seen the ocean. its uuugehotroddy
- yeah but we're supposed to hate Elon. at least thats what the narrative the media keep spinning.inteliboy
- Wrong thread...inv
- You do realise that pretty much every satellite you use daily was launched by rocket stages that were dumped in oceans?Nairn
- I know you like stimulating your anus with your anti-Elon fetish, but if you're levelling such environmental accusations at him — well, you're a fucking retard.Nairn

Elon Musk talks about competing against Uber and Lyft with ‘millions of self-driving cars’: https://electrek.co/2018/10/25/t…
- it's he against AI?mugwart
- Tesla cars are almost pure AI.monospaced
- "Tesla cars are almost pure AI." So why .. https://arstechnica.… ?Nairn
- Because both people, society, current roads and the AI itself weren't quite ready. The cars are still pure AI and have the ability to self drive, btw.monospaced
- And even then, just because he pulled it doesn't mean he's "against" it. He's at the cutting edge of it, actually.monospaced

- Utopian's petit-chub for all things negative relating to Musk, this is a non-story. Again.Nairn
- Utopian is to Musk what Mono is to Apple.Nairn
- ?monospaced
- Really? Utopian always goes on at you about your obsession with Apple, so I'm going on about his with Musk.Nairn
- Yes, really. utopian hates on all things Apple, and he hates on all things Musk. utopian is to musk what utopian is to Apple. I have nothing to do with it.monospaced
- feel free to go through each thread and see for yourself where my obsessions lie, you might be enlightened.monospaced
- Perhaps not take things quite so literally? Mine here was a stupid light-hearted comment. You're very easy to wind up, so .. well, people do.Nairn
- This isn't an issue of taking things literally, though. If you want to get on utopian's case, leave me out of it, please.monospaced

What a total asshole, helping these people, just to get people to like him!- or ... OR ... he's doing it because he can and it's the right thing to do. You can't just assume that's why he's doing it.monospaced
- also ,... addressing the Flint water situation as a philanthropist is the exact OPPOSITE of being an asshole. WTF?monospaced
- I am fucking kidding.inv
- yeah the exclamation mark at the end gave it away!_niko
- but it is fucked up that he and anyone like him had to step in when the government can't or won't._niko
- and criticizing him for flamethrowers when the focus should be on a government that spends a trillion dollars on flamethrowers plus other nonsense_niko
- +1 niko. The biggest disgrace is this had to be privately funded. No votes in Flint I'm guessing.BusterBoy
- PR Stuntutopian
- If these people get the money/equipment then he's done something right - regardless of his motives the peoples health are the most important thing.mugwart

- finally pays 500K+ unpaid taxes to NV, now giving a school near that for water which was already safe... did he finally get someone to buy a few carsdeathboy
- Just like Elon Trump's oversized rescue submarine wasn't a a PR stunt as well.utopian
- more curious who gets the contract to install the filters. probably boring co. 480K seems spendy for filters even if IR. and wonder if a one time donation forcdeathboy
- es the schools now to be on the hook for a more expensive filter replacement, more frequently all for a lil PRdeathboy
- 100% PR stunt. Trying to clear his name amidst his current firing from Tesla, etc. What a manipulator!chukkaphob
- except it's not a PR stunt, and his name doesn't even need clearing ... AS IF doing this would clear it in the first placemonospaced
- ^ LOL!chukkaphob
- what's so funny?monospaced
- He pledged to fix the Flint issue back in July, before the whole Tesla thing. He wasn't even fired. He's still CEO.monospaced
- Wait, you're actually defending Musk as a philanthropist?garbage
- Also double wait.. do you actually own a Tesla?garbage
- Wait, you're commenting on a comment I made 5 years ago, like an obsessed troll with severe mental issues? Yup, you are. Loser.monospaced
- I didn't even know it was 5 years old, it was in my feed.garbage

Read the bio by Ashlee Vance...far out...there's so much more to Musk than what you see in the press. He's a fucken complex character. I agree he does shoot his mouth off and can be a complete dick, but there's no doubting if he wasn't around, Space exploration and electric vehicles would be nowhere near as progressed as they are.
He just needs to keep his mouth shut...and probably see a therapist.
- He's different, he's quirky but he is doing more for the world then most normal CEO's whom only care about their bank accounts.mugwart
- I want more people to be honest, i dont want people to be silent. Be a dick, be loud - makes the world more colourful.mugwart
- That’s fine...just don’t go around calling people pedosBusterBoy
- ^ no but it is a bit fun to observe! ;-)mugwart
- why does he have to keep his mouth shut?inteliboy
- because the stock plummets when he goes off, and if you own the stock you don't want thatformed
- @inteliboy +1 , @formed you mean you care more about the stock than the nr 1 shareholder (elon himself)inv
- No Elon...no Tesla or Spacex. These companies existence depends on his presence...so he needs to keep his mouth shut.BusterBoy
- Sure...talk about things that won't get you in deep shit. Just steer clear of the securities and pedo shit.BusterBoy
- I like this post, giving him the benefit of the doubt. Guy's a fucking weeble.PhanLo
