Why do people adore Elon Musk? He's a midwit but Reddit sees past it due to the fact that he's a billionaire and shitposts on Twitter.

He's not an engineer, he's not a visionary, he's not a futurist playboy meme lord. He's not an amazing entrepreneur like Gates, Bezos, or Jobs. Only 1 of his 3 companies could stand on its own two feet (Paypal). And the rest are on life support from the government and retarded retail traders (SpaceX and Tesla). He's not self-made either.

What is the appeal that Elon Musk has?

A midwit? The guy is a billionaire with multiple successful companies. What have you ever done?

he is an armchair speculator, which makes him obviously superior

Same reason I like Kanye West. They're both just fundamentally weird yet lucky enough to be mega successful. It's mildly entertaining. That's all

Because he is doing cool shit like blasting rockets in space all the time and making electric cars. I don't really like him that much but he is def doing interesting stuff with his money instead of the typical boring shit like just putting it in some investment firm

As far as billionaires go, I'd rather we had more Elons than ugly gremlins hoarding their wealth inside bunkers in Switzerland.

If I can be called an engineer because I got a bachelors in Mech Eng and was hired at some shitty firm, I think we can safely call Elon an engineer for being able to fluently work with rocket engineers and auto engineers and participate in the design of cars and rocketships.

First of all he's an alien.
The whole TESLA and SpaceX thing is a front to get back to his home planet. Have you ever seen ET? It's similar.

He's a great business man. Shitty "inventor". He literally sold roofing torches for a 300% markup to leddit tier morons.

True to an extent but I think Elon had a much easier time with his generational chaos emerald wealth. I have a feeling both are insufferable in person but like anon said, their antics are entertaining.
