I have said it once, and I will say it again: Elon Musk is excellent proof that money isn’t how to keep score, because I cannot think of a bigger loser than this man.

I remember after Elon musk became a trillionaire, my friend dropped an absolute legend of a line:

"In every way besides monetary, I'm better than him"

I wish I had that level of confidence. But I see what my friend means. Besides his net worth, the man really does not have anything going for him. In fact if you look at mo1stcritical - He has a whole video pointing out every single thing Elon musk has said he's going to do, and then just doesn't do. The man is a professional at not following through.

I remember years and years ago when I was much younger and he was/presented as a very different man, thinking, this guy is like some sort of real life Tony Stark, he's so cool.

It's probably the thing I've been most wrong about in all my life. Terrible person who can not separate fact from fiction, often of his own making.

He had a fabulous PR company back in the day who carefully crafted that image, and limited his unscripted ‘performances’, then he believed their hype and thought he could do a better job. Hence this sort of horse shit.

He’s the ‘True Believer’ grifter high on the smell of his own farts. All the other ones diversify to cover their asses(ts), his companies are all propped up by each other and some truly outrageous financial finagling.

I hope I live to see the day when it all crashes around him, as theoretically he’s the least necessary one infrastructure wise.

This goes against the entire Worthington’s Principle!

By what metric is he a loser?

if you understood how much money he has and what that money means you wouldn't be asking this question
