Elon Musk didn't found shit. He's a fucking loser poser.

Co-founder by legal title (obtained as part of a settlement), not by, you know, co-founding.

Like how heโ€™s the chief engineer of SpaceX. With no qualifications.

Oh well, at least his Path of Exile account was probably legit. /s

obtained as part of a settlement

This makes it worse IMO. What a fucking loser poser. So desperate for acknowledgement that he needs to steal it through litigation.

Imagine if someone said "I don't have any knowledge or expertise in this area but I really believed in what these guys were doing and I could see their capacity for greatness so I chose to support their endeavors". There's certainly no shame in that.

I don't have any knowledge or expertise in this area but I really believed...

I think it would be fine if someone said that and started something.

Elon only started space x though. He's just been a winey bitch with cash in every other scenario

Elon had no involvement in teslas founding

Nor is he a visionary. The asshole part is correct, though!

You can call Linus a lot of things but "stylish" is a bit of a stretch.

Tesla? Legendary? For trapping people and burning them alive? Already done multiple times throughout history.

Looking at the cars, I'm surprised there was a designer and not just a toddler and their crayons

luciferofastora@feddit.org · 10 pts · 76d

I suspect the designer was quite frequently overridden by the toddler with crayons.

On one hand, it must be frustrating to come up with a design only for you boss to come and throw it out. On the other, I suspect he'll wipe away his tears with dollar bills.

At first I read "quiet Greek engineer" and I was like, damn they Greeks now to do engineering. Then I thought Linus couldn't look less Greek.
