Actual inventors and entrepreneurs build and figure out and design the company and product… figure out all the creative, inventive stuff.
Then he swoops in, buys it up, does a bunch of press about “his new company” so now in the public eye it’s Elon musks company.
Then he cooks up a bunch of ideas any given 8 year old could conjure in their imagination and tells the engineers he hired to get to work making it happen.
He proceeds to crack the whip and berate them for a bunch of years, also moving the goalposts constantly so the engineers need to be constantly shuffling to redesign and reconfigure.
Then after the blood, sweat, and tears of the actual workers produces fruit, he’s the first guy on stage saying look what I did.
So.. a lot of people just think he’s some tech wizard genius savant… when in reality he’s just crafted a mythos around himself and he’s just really good at investment gambles and manipulating stock prices with his clout.
It made me laugh when he called mamdani a taker and never a maker because Elon is exactly that… he pays other people to grow apples, then he carries the basket into town and says look at these apples I grew. Musk has *made* very little in life.
