Not even the champion of his own relationships. When is living an ethical life going to matter to Christians?

He understands the principles that make the entire enterprise function, and he has about a billion times more specific technical knowledge about his own products than most ceo's will ever have about theirs.

Also nobody had any problem with elon and would frequently venerate him until he said like one slightly off-script thing about some dumb leftist sacred cow, because the left is nothing if not myopically tribal.
The skillset behind analyzing the market and finding then leveraging talent to exploit it is entirely different than science and engineering at the level his employees are operating at. Again, he's a very bright guy but at the end of the day just a capitalist and a piece of shit (excuse my redundancy), just like Bill Gates.

We’re no closer to Mars? SpaceX has reduced the cost to get things into space by something like 75%. His electric cars are the only decent option out there.

What does morality have to do with being a genius? No one claimed he was a beacon of morality. He’s a genius.

I suspect you’re the type who finds it very hard to define a good quality in someone you personally dislike.

Dumping on a guy with “only two Bachelor degrees” for being involved in or founding some of the most successful tech companies out there. It’s laughable.

Pro-tip: If your response to grounding of billionaire-worship is "you're just jealous of x", you might just be a fanboy.

1. They are not the only decent electric cars out there, in fact they are now among the worst. Other major auto retailers have caught up.

2. I've said good things about Elon Musk.

3. You know, right, that it's pointless for humans to try to live on Mars? There is no way for it to be permanently and independently inhabited due to the obscene radiation levels. You would have to live underground, and at that point, why be on Mars? Just be on the moon. There are many other better candidates in the solar system for habitation. Somehow your 'genius' didn't catch that one, or maybe he finally did, because he never fuckin talks about it anymore. More than likely he was just talking up SpaceX back when Mars was really big in the early 00's

You notice how you label him as a billionaire? As if that has some merit in a persons ability. I’m judging him based on things he’s produced and accomplished.

Your crowd loves to lionize poor people and demonize success. You don’t believe in anyone accomplishing more than you due to effort or merit. You also don’t blame the dredges of society for the choices they have made. We’re all a product of our surroundings and youth.

Free-will is real and we all have choices that define us over time.

This is as good a point as any to point out what Fox does. This "controversy" is coming from insider characters because it is a supper-easy attack on the much-anticipated Lenny biopic.

Bernstein was a god. I do not care if you don't have a taste for classical music. Listen to his "West Side Story" suites. He wrote the tunes, the big musical themes, and West Side Story is essentially Lenny's gift to the 20th century: an opera, but written to be turned into Broadway and a movie. (yes, thanks to Sondheim for lyrics and likely melodic input -- he's a genius too!)

So Jets vs Sharks fight song. It's very modernist, all angular, but it flows and its a choreography of a knife fight!! (Mr. Robbins takes the wreath for that of course).

-----------

This is going to get too long. Classical music is one of my other hobbies. Bernstein, before my time ahem, is probably the greatest American conductor of the 20th century, if you take total energy, contribution, and "vitality" into account. He **almost** attained his goal: which was to just merge classical and pop, via the musical opera.

The jew nose thing is appalling the studios, pretty much every Jewish actor and director, and the entire biopic team.

Wait! The real story is, but you will not hear this on Fox, nor any other "libs are so dumb" themed "news" outlet, that whoever did this just insulted Bernstein, the people who have been toiling on this project, and many, many people who adore Lenny's classic nose.

I'm sorry that was a lot to read but geniuses (Bernstein, Sondheim, and Robbins in this case) are to be respected. You see my point I hope. In reality, the "libs" in question here, are insulted some group of people sank to this level of weak tea BS.

Don't attribute qualities to me based on a 'crowd' you think I belong to. I absolutely believe in economic determinism. I just have far, far more respect for the actual scientists and engineers than the capitalist who brought them together, and has half the talent as well as began life with a fortune. That's a coincidence, isn't it?

Your argument is literally "you don't like him because u jelly" when I've been calling the guy a huckster since I knew about him, back when liberals were the gullible fanboys. I also think simply being a billionaire is unethical, so you're not going to find a billionaire I like. You shouldn't laud someone for being a genius when they are also a huge piece of shit. Ethics matter. Even his own father thinks he's a piece of shit. Any woman he's ever been with thinks he's a piece of shit. He might just be a piece of shit who is really good at capitalism.

Also lol at this:

I judge people on actions, not net worth.

It does not balance how you claim to believe in economic determinism and shit on Musk.

You seem to have a VERY narrow definition of what a genius can be. You can be a genius who uses that gift for good, or for evil. The genius tag doesn't equate to an expected moral outcome.
