Yeah maybe, but I think he’s a lot more authentic than the author asserts. I think the Stark comparison is still accurate. He doesn’t need to manipulate prices. Free speech is the only thing money can’t buy, but he’s willing to part with serious money to improve this particular platform.

Why do women authors almost always fail to understand men in general, but successful, dynamic men (who don’t follow female rules of order), in particular.
As a specialist physician, I have noticed that the majority of health care administrators and HR people are female and they set increasingly restrictive, authoritarian rules that maintain “order” while harming patient care and any medical staff member that speaks out for patient care.
The new term is a “disruptive physician” and surprisingly they are usually men.

This author is essentially wrong on every point she makes.
Seriously – “opportunist”, “faking it till he makes it”, exaggerating his abilities”. Musk has created several new technology companies showing creativity, brilliance and perserverance against great odds. Does the author know what those terms mean?
Her assumptions about Musks offer to buy Twitter shows her ignorance of financial dealings while she chides him like a teenage girl for misunderstanding SEC rules.
The most glaring example is her failure to understand even the most basic principles of Libertarianism. It is not that “everyone must be given the right to err … and when it matters you fall in line against the forces of division and hate”. She has the arrogance to define a political philosophy she knows absolutely nothing about.
The last line about a “shadowy clique of libertarian freedom fighters” pulling Elon’s strings is cartoonish
“Fake it until you make it” might be a little extreme in Musk’s case, but someone said of his tech judgement “If Elon Musk tells you something can be done, you should probably believe him. If Elon Musk tells you something can be done by a certain date, you should probably not believe him.” It’s that gap between predicted date and delivery that involves faking it, but he has, thus far, always made it.

Fascinating that so many people think they are cleverer than him. He is in fact uniquely clever.
He is creative, intelligent and willing to try things that others say will fail.
They are the uncreative, unintelligent and live lives of failure in which they critique those in the arena of sweat and blood.

I guess, if Elon has any sort of plan, it’s to keep everyone guessing. And then jump, one way or the other, depending

At least the author is posting in a place that allows comments… Most of the career unsuccessful leftist Musk haters are behind the protection of the new left media which doesn’t allow comments any more because it immediately exposes their journalistic skills.

Whether he be Tony Stark or Han Solo is quite immaterial. He has upset the loony left and they are now running for cover – using their usual despicable manifestations to discredit him.
All power too him.

I generally tire of debates on Elon Musk: put your money were your mouth is, either go long or short on his businesses, the rest is hot air.
