MODERATORS
Lemmy is not a place to rationally discuss Tesla and Space-X.
I can not stand Musk at all, but if every other Auto CEO were as vocal as he is, we would hate them too.
Apple survived losing Jobs just fine. Tesla and Space-X would probably be even better without Musk.
The news that has come out about how Tesla and Space-X have succeeded in spite of Musk, not because of him, has been eye opening. I think there's something to be said for having a front man to be the face of a company. Since Apple has been fine post Steve Jobs, so would Tesla and Space-X be fine post Elon. Frankly I'm kind of terrified that Space-X will get dragged down by this shit too, but it seems to have benefitted from being a side-project and not on Elon's front radar. If Elon gets bored of Twitter and starts doing Space-X stuff again. Thank goodness NASA kept redundancy in their rocket pipelines... At the time, it seemed like a waste, but now it looks very prudent.
Which is why other CEO usually just stay silent to public
Which is why Musk is a fool. Which is why people are not rational about his companies.
Yes, but they aren't as vocal. It's one thing to be an asshole. It's another thing to be an annoying, loud-mouthed asshole.
Tesla and SpaceX seem very different.
Lots of companies are making electric vehicles. Tesla's self driving software advantage is limited by people's high standards of success for AI.
SpaceX, on the other hand, currently has no real world competitor in the reusable rocket space.
musk fucking off would improve every business he runs
You can sort of appreciate his showing his true self so unabashedly. It sheds light upon the ultra-rich mind. Still, he's a dumbo, IMHO.
