Elon Musk is an amazing intellect. He is extremely smart I wish I had some of his brains. He deserves to be the richest person he worked for it

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.

Musk is the greatest innovator of our time! The only thing Elon is guilty of is optimistic time lines. You need to do more research.

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?

" 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."

Does Mark "mark" peak stupidity. Are we there yet? A famous movie once had this line, " Have IQs dropped while I was gone?"

Little known fact: Musk is on the Autism Spectrum with Asperger's Syndrome . He is a certified genius and will be the man to get humanity off this planet and into the solar system.
