As both you and I said, Elon talks big and has failed to deliver on a ton of things
That does not mean he has achieved nothing incredible.
If John Carmack or Tim Cook or Henry Ford said they were going to make cheap, reliable fusion reactors in every home but never did, they would still be the legends they are for the things they did do successfully. The things they didn’t do don’t change what they did.
The two are unrelated, infact.
- jrflowers 21d agoWhy are you listing other people that you imagine you wouldn’t mind if they were habitual liars
- inemesitaffia 20d agoBecause people have failures and successes and when the successes are bigger than the failure we consider that a success
- jrflowers 20d agoThis is the thread where we’re all agreeing that Elon Musk has a reputation for making stuff up, I think you might mean to be posting in a thread where people are talking about how cool he is or something. You posted that the two things are unrelated so you might be mixing up a conversation that is happening with one that is not happening here If I wanted to have a completely different conversation, unrelated to his reputation for making stuff up, with a fan about his creations I’d say something like “He created reusable rockets? Wow that Elon guy must have so many patents relating to aerospace and manufacturing” but that would be a totally different thread
- inemesitaffia 19d agoNah. I'm pretty clear about not agreeing. People have goals they work towards... Sometimes they have success/failure. That's different from "making stuff up"
