Insights on Elon Musk

Unsophisticated individuals falsely assume that genius in one endeavor means genius in everything.

That's why they use baseball players endorse automobiles.

Musk manages innovations in the fields of electric cars and aerospace fields.

In other matters of society, he is obviously lacking in skills.

 

I don’t want to have any insights about him though. There is enough space given in the news already about him. He is another person in the world, no more valuable than any other. Depends on the value system I guess. I tend to think more in the lines of the New Testament, or try to. It’s very engrained, money is success. Engrained from childhood.

 

The managers of almost all organizations get the credit for almost everything.

However, It's everything else in the organization who does all the work and innovation.

In history, slaves who in innovated and built most of the infrastructure in the South never got any credit.

Elon did not do it all. Especially, a lot of immigrants, who he appears to denigrate work for him to make his achievements possible.



In early California, Japanese and Chinese immigrants innovated and developed the agricultural and fisheries, when the white got most all the credit.

 

great societies need great leaders. while we are all equally valuable, we are not all equally capable.

Plenty to ponder in that.

 

I went back and saw her say that. In the real world of today if you are mister nice guy and share with a good heart your discoveries, someone else will run with them as their ideas. Also this is what she, a money manager I believe, says, but what is the reality of what he does and why. Should a person be required to share their ideas just because they work at a company? I don’t think so, unless they get the rewards. Just like Musk now gets the rewards of earlier ideas like Paypal. Which was his start from being lifted from being just another anonymous tech person out there.
It’s a lot to think about.

 

sometimes ideas help move you up the ladder. they are not required, but encouraged.
generally speaking, ideas that can be patented inure to the benefit of the company.
if someone is confident in their idea, they can leave and start their own company.

 

I do not recommend listening to just anyone. The average IQ of 'Merika is well below 85. Everyone has an opinion. Those willing to share free of charge are dumb. The smartest kid in class does not talk unless it is with the teacher.

Before taking advice ask three questions:
1 what qualifications/certifications/license/education makes this person qualified
2 what experience does this person have
3 what is the track record of this professional

Those who call themselves a Mechanic need to go to prison. It's like calling yourself a doctor just because you bought a scalpel

 

brilliant guy, i simply disagree with most of his politics and X's.
like cathy wood, i'm interested in his products, and i'm glad he is in the u.s. and not some competitive country

 

Not a particular fan or foe of Musk, and it seems like he is something of a Richard.

However (comma!) he is committed to changing the world, and some people seem to think that he's been a net positive.

The Climate Industrial Complex used to like him a lot more for being the Henry Ford of BEVs - at least before he bought 'Formerly Known As...." The Military Industrial Complex still likes him - because, of......stuff and things (secure C4I, Aerospace, etc...)

Me?
I eagerly await IFT-5 and 6, because industry insiders say Five is ready in all respects except for a government permit and.....meanwhile, since Space-X is capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time, AND since they are not beholden to investors - ITF-6 is progressing towards an expedited follow-up launch.

Not good stuff.
FANTASTIC stuff....and I say this as a person who works for one of Starlink's direct competitors.

A robustly redundant, non-terrestrial GLOBAL data and communications network will be, in the words of a former president, a BFD, especially if you live in a place (other than the United States) where communications are somewhat controlled by malevolent forces.
