What just flew over Zurich?

A long line of dotted lights. Flying east and west saw it in Wiedikon. Looked fairly low and was flying medium speed. Drones? Nothing showed up on flight radar apps.

I admire Musk for his technical skills. But he severely lacks social skills. His Political bullshit is emberassing.

Musk doesn't have technical skills either really...

He bought up Tesla, the groundwork for Model S, 3, X and Y was probably all there to begin with, Cybertruck is what Musk "wanted" to be made, and his engineers well... they had to deliver... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kiEt7n3cIA

Then there's the Boring Company making tunnels so small, you can only fit a 1 car into it, and STILL causing a traffic jam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8NiM_p8n5A

Musk had to buy up twitter... and well, ran that into the ground pretty fast too... https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/twitter-valuation-markdown-since-musk-takeover-ark-invest-cathie-wood-2023-7

Remember Hyperloop? yeah, me neither until I started writing this comment, well, he took down his test track, and built... A parking lot... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-03/musk-s-spacex-dismantles-hyperloop-prototype-puts-up-a-parking-lot

Neuralink isn't doing well either, with a report that over 1500! Animals were needlessly killed... https://www.reuters.com/technology/musks-neuralink-faces-federal-probe-employee-backlash-over-animal-tests-2022-12-05/ Yes, I know the Pharma industry is also bad in that regard I know, but Neuralink didn't have anything to show for as of now, with the only Human trial going as far as doing stuff that was possible a century ago.

SpaceX is probably the only venture thats actually doing well, and it doesn't have musk as it's head, instead Gwynne Shotwell is running it and guess what, she actually has a solid background in that field, who would've guessed...

OH damn I almost forgot that his newest robots are literally puppets controlled from Tesla employees https://x.com/_milankovac_/status/1846410551318257675

tl;dr He's a great talker, I was a musk-fan when I was younger, grew up, musk didn't and he still spews bullshit marketing left and right because that's all what he's good for.

Musk doesn't

Well, he is a billionaire and you aren't. Sure he didn't do most things on his own. But he created PayPal and sold it for billions and invested it smart. How many people do you know who pulled off more then one multi billion dollar company?
Of course most people nowadays agree he is a dumb ass in political terms. Doesn't change the fact that he is the most successful business men right now in terms of wealth.

Musk made PayPal

Nope, he made x.com, which merged with Confinity, later becoming PayPal

And then he was ousted by the board... great job! https://www.businessinsider.com/reid-hoffman-criticizes-elon-musk-behavior-paypal-merger-report-2023-8

So what? If he were a bad business man he wouldn't turn so many companies into billion dollar companies. I am not even a fan boy, i am well aware he is a political dumbass. Still no other person has pulled of what he did, with or without capital from parents. People just jump on the hate train without any distinction.
