Okay, and the OP’s source for Elon’s success coming solely from daddy’s money and nothing else is what?
Musk has publicly laid out that anybody can get rich writing software without much startup capital - which not only makes sense but by all accounts seems to be exactly what he did.
This is a common misconception. His daddy loaned him a whopping 28 grand. Nothing mind blowing, and certainly not what you’d expect the heir of a freaking emerald mine to get their hands on.
Elon Musk got most of his capital early in his career from the sale of his first company, Zip2, which he co-founded with his brother Kimbal in 1995 using $28,000 borrowed from their father[1][6]. In 1999, Zip2 was sold to Compaq for $307 million, with Musk earning $22 million[1][6]. Musk then invested $10 million of his Zip2 proceeds into founding X.com, one of the first attempts at online banking, which later became PayPal[1]. After PayPal, Musk invested all of his proceeds into his new projects: SpaceX ($100 million), Tesla ($70 million), and SolarCity ($10 million) [1]. By 2008, he was almost penniless and living on $200 thousand monthly loans from his friends after a $20 million divorce[1]. However, his fortunes changed, and by 2017, his net worth had risen to $16 billion[1].

I wonder if there’s a hydrohomies community
My uncle once told me about how he grew up as a “displaced person” because of WW2. He ended up at a variety of boarding schools. They had the policy of letting the boys sort shit out themselves. From his experience, it sounded like it worked.
It’s called being a satellite
I have a vague recollection of a Canadian politician getting cornered with a great question on covid response overreach on a video call, and after everyone watching, including a live audience, heard everything crystal clear, they were like “sorry, we seem to be having technical issues, couldn’t hear the question, looks like you’re breaking up!” And then they hung up LOL.
Nothing to see here, folks, go back to your business!

Ignoring all common sense approaches to staying competitive by using simple, textbook ideas of strategic management does negatively impact growth.
Imagine that!
I virtually never want food or water. My body screams “eat now or you’re going into a coma, idiot!”
Congrats, you turned your oven into a Turkey. So it worked!
Aw that is sad
The only answer is to send ourselves back to the stone age and seize the means of re production!
They’re the same picture
Likewise for cringe so look in the mirror

No, it’s not that. But also I want free stuff because I’m not cutting it in a dog eat dog world, man! Let’s eat the people who actually make anything happen, cause they own more widgets and floombozzles than me!
Salty Elon anti-simps are everywhere and will always downvote things. That isn’t really this platform’s fault.
Big differences between reddit and here are:
Those are all great reasons for using Lemmy instead. Oh, plus the relative privacy.
Thing is, you don’t always know. This stuff doesn’t always come out until you’re leaving them.
You’re a fool if you think he’s my hero
