This might not be popular here but does anyone else dislike Elon Musk? All the fact free covid tantrums, idiotic humor, treatment of his workers, reports by ex wives, and seriously its enough with doge coin already. Why is it so fun for him to whip up a frenzy and get so many poor and working class folks to buy it?

He’s digging himself and his companies into a bigger and bigger hole the more solely responsible for this mania he becomes, and it seems publicly like all he cares about.

I disagree SM1

Dallas is the finance/banking hub of the south. Business and jobs are booming here.

Austin is the tech hub of the south. Everyone wants to move to Austin and find jobs. I mean TESLA, Samsung, Oracle have moved there this year alone.

Houston is oil/energy

I don’t think it’s just oil. For reference Houston is probably the worst of the 3 major Texas cities in terms of desirability.

Stop consulting and go invent something. Make it into a global billion dollar business. Create a brand new industry out of it.

Agreed. People don’t call his old group of a colleagues the mafia because they are upstanding people.

He just sits at an intersection of technology, popular media, and celebrity which few other people occupy. And the finance world hasn’t been friendly with him, so he has the underdog story going as well.

I dislike Elon, his personality is grating amd I am not part of his cult. But one cant deny the vision that got him where he is at. Plenty of people have all the advamtages he did starting but end up being run of the mill.

He’s like several of my brilliant friends. I admire his abilities, think some of the stuff he does like his first principles approach to be brilliant (in part for the simplicity of it), and he has a track record that’s hard to argue with. That said not sure I’d invite him for family Christmas although somehow I think hanging out with him would be a rush and an awesome experience. I rarely get to truly just think anymore.

Reiterating a couple weeks later. This guy sucks. Fanboys will come to see it when they’re not blinded by his stock or crypto manipulation.

Lol i read this as “i made money on Tesla or doge in the last fifteen months.” Getting stock doesn’t equate to being well comped - it just happened to skyrocket last year for a long list of reasons that don’t have a ton to do with its actual business.

But more to the point why don’t you look up his Union busting, or forcing factory workers to come in during Covid and how many of them got it, or what Justine musk or other women have actually written? Take a look at how he’s gleefully toying with markets on a daily basis. People are responsible for their own decisions but people with platforms also have a responsibility. You can absolutely blame the ring leader for a crazed mob out there in the markets.

Or you know, you can just assume all the things you assume in your post.
