Why People Hate Elon Musk So Much - CleanTechnica (/2016/05/08/people-hate-elon-musk-tesla/)

I agree with this guy's opinion.

"As I wrote before, I think people misjudge Elon’s confidence as arrogance, and think that he is actually a relatively humble guy. But confidence is one of those things that can make some others feel self-conscious and inadequate (even while it has the opposite effect on other humans), and these feelings of self-consciousness and inadequacy are fuel for envy. We somehow think that someone else’s success is about us — and that is the depth of the problem."

He is future of rocket technology and transportation. If I had Boeing stock I be dumping it for spaceX. He will not Bow down to one party or the other I find that refreshing in human being. As for his vehicle line I don’t have opinion, but people with lot of money seem to.

I'm sure people at the time thought Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Galileo, Nikola Tesla, Alexander Graham Bell, etc., etc., etc., were all crazy weirdos. Elon Musk is the genius of our time and there are some people who aren't intelligent enough to see that.

I thought at one time he was a bit of jerk after seeing him in an interview I gained a lot of respect for him. He is a true genius, works between 90 an 100 hours a week and sometimes sleeps on his factory floor. He is not driven by money but rather trying to improve humanity. He doesn’t care what anybody thinks about him, doesn’t try to blow smoke up you know what, he is not political and says what he thinks and if you don’t like his opinion on something he feels that’s your problem not his. To me this is refreshing. Reminds me of someone else.

I personally don't like his politics, but he has created about 56,000 jobs. Then there's all the supporting jobs. Would you rather they were all on welfare? I'll take him over a lot of politicians.

It's obvious that a lot of the hate and vitriol toward Musk, is in large part driven by those who have lost a whole lot of money shorting his stocks. The ultimate irony being, that to cover the shorts when the margin is called, more stocks have to be purchased therefore driving the stock prices up even more - increasing losses. As noted below, when just purchasing a stock the most you can lose is the price paid for the stock. When shorting, you can lose a whole lot more than just the original opening position/cost of the stock(s). THAT can leave a large mark.

Short Selling Definition: What Is Shorting Stocks? (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/shortselling.asp)

" Selling short can be costly if the seller guesses wrong about the price movement. A trader who has bought stock can only lose 100% of their outlay if the stock moves to zero.

However, a trader who has shorted stock can lose much more than 100% of their original investment. The risk comes because there is no ceiling for a stock’s price, it can rise "to infinity and beyond"—to coin a phrase from another comic character, Buzz Lightyear. Also, while the stocks were held, the trader had to fund the margin account. Even if all goes well, traders have to figure in the cost of the margin interest when calculating their profits."

MY LIFE VIEW. Rather than put down people who have changed the world as we know it and made incomprehensible wealth doing it. It is far more productive to ask what can I LEARN from him and how can I PROFIT FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED.

Imagine this guy is selling seats on his reusable rockets? Who would have thought of doing this. More important how many who thought of doing this would, could actually do it.

I for one see I am not even in Elon Musk's league. Tear him down? A long reach up for many to even touch his shoes.

Sadly, where we are today and how we got here. "Ninety-five percent get enraged about."
Hate, is a powerful and yet MINDLESS emotion. We the people are to blame we have sadly allowed hate to be in too many people's thought. I for one work hard to keep my HATE LIST empty. That way should I need to I will give that person, that issue my full attention.

The new SpaceX product comes at five times the cost of standard service: Starlink Premium requires a $500 refundable deposit, a $2,500 fee for the antenna and router, and service costs $500 per month.

In Canada where everything costs more than it does in the USA, the price for starlink is $714 for all hardware. There is no deposit or monthly contract. The price is $129.00 per month. You had better recheck your source.

Elon Musk is in the midst of building 4.5 million sq. ft. of manufacturing space in Texas investing in a ton of automation and spending billions along the way. He's pumping billions into the US economy.

And he's late on the truck... But, nothing happened in 2020 and 21 to cause any delays?

Classy post by DAVES bears repeating ^^^

For those who are not familiar with his background, below is link to an 6-minute interview with Maye Musk, the gorgeous 70+-year-old model and AMAZING mother who raised Elon and worked to help him and her other children develop fine, down-to-earth character traits and to maximize their respective abilities. Their story is interesting to say the least, and quite inspiring.

(Don't be put off by the brief opening shot of a magazine cover of a "photoshopped" Ms. Musk that mimicks Demi Moore's famous 1990's nude pregnancy photo; it startled me, but I suppose it was "conceived" as a clever way of depicting little Elon's origins).

The triumph of emotion over reason is strong when you talk of TSLA/Musk cult.
Musk didn't invent anything. He claims pre-invented things as his own.

What is TSLA PE ratio?
How much of TSLA "earnings" come from Bitcoin sales and the carbon credit scam?

It appears "peak stupidity" occurred on Jan 3 2022 :)
Could it be The Federal Reserve Casino is deflating?
Or can we all blame everything on Putin like mr potato head is telling you to think.
