Is he the founder of anything?
Yes. Zip2 (as the money), SpaceX (as the money), Neuralink (as the money and the evil), the Boring Company (as the money and con ringleader)
Not sure what Zip2 does but basically he funded 3 companies that are his selfish shit, trying to abandon a dying planet for Mars, Neuralink to upload his mind to evade death, and Boring company for his Hyperloop shit to help sabotage highway rail project to keep Teslas cars to be sold which is where most of (almost all) his money comes from
Zip2 is basically the yellowpages online. I think it's unfair to say he just funded that company. He basically started the initial project (GlobalLink) that turned into Zip2 after a rename that came with a bunch of funding.
Wow, he fucking sucks at renaming companies.
Well that 3M funding round came from someone else, so he likely didn't have too much say in the rename. I believe he started Globallink with. 28k from emeralds he stole and pawned from his dad. Then he got another 100k later in the story of funding from his dad.
But yeah... he isn't great at coming up with names... after that he started "x.com" which would later merge with another company that forced him to rename it to "Paypal"
I think these details are all correct, but I am remembering from a Behind the Bastards podcasts and some articles I read. It's been a while so the specific amounts might be off a bit.
for Mars
Let's judge SpaceX for what they are actually doing, rather than a pipe dream the owner happens to have. The company did a lot of things that might be good or bad, but going to Mars is not one of them so it's not really a useful aspect to think about.
Where did I judge the company? Maybe read the comment properly and don't make up things to get upset about, I was talking about Musks motivation for funding these companies not what they do.
You didn't. Take your own advice.
I didnt what?
You don't even use punctuation correctly, which makes it hard to "read the comment properly". Moreover you don't explain that what you listed are the motivations for starting each company.
funded ≠founded
I used funded deliberately mate, I know the difference...
for starting each company.
you see I used funded because Musk rarely starts the company he just comes in with the money...
Moreover you don’t explain that what you listed are the motivations for starting each company.
I mean I literally wrote this
basically he funded 3 companies that are his selfish shit, ...
if that's not clear what I meant then I don't know what to tell you man, go retake English or something.
