[@MrChillerNo1]

His ego. It's also why whe will inevitably fail. Zwitter is just the beginning... of the end.

[@soloauditor]

@@MrChillerNo1 That is your assumption. And a mighty wrong one too. If he fails would be for one reason only: Because he would put his trust in somebody like you who only can see negative side to everything they view- experience.

[@soloauditor]

[@straighttalk2069]

@Newsthink why is there no mention of the Obama administration? The Obama administration loaned Tesla $465 million to build the Model S. Without that loan (that Tesla repaid in full) Tesla would've gone bankrupt. Same for SpaceX the Obama administration spearheaded the outsourcing of contracts by Nasa to commercial suppliers which in turn prevented SpaceX from going bankrupt. Your prejudice is obvious.

The greatest lesson that I was able to take away from this documentary is that your failures will be your greatest attribute and to NEVER give up. Elon’s story is truly inspiring.

Nobody is perfect, yet people judge him harshly and thanks to Elon M. the world is literally enjoying some positive changes with all the products hi has created for the benefit of humanity; Space X, Tesla, the Boring Comp, inspiring other industries and countries, and God knows what else. Yet, the envy, from other entities and even perhaps some governments shamefully did their best to ridicule him as crazy and dress him up as a disturbance for the economy in sectors, such as EV vehicles, but who’s laughing now?

[@10secondsrule]

I like your videos even if sometimes I find it one sided like this one. I’m not a fan of musk but maybe it’s his child behaviour what makes him untrustworthy to me. I’m starting to warm up to him though and even consider getting a Tesla. A car I’d in the past not accept for free. It might be due to the constant evolvement of his product paired with better pricing than competitors more than anything else. I am quite uneasy about his robot and automation approach. Most people are incredibly stupid and this I feel will not make them any better but worst. He might become as Steve Jobs to myself - the guy I despised as a self focused person but with incredible passion and drive who I dearly miss. In the world of soulless corporate conglomerates around these passionate figures are what makes companies more humane (even if their working conditions can be far from good but that’s another story).
