Why does it suck that he has given humanity all those things?

Why do you attribute all those things to Elon? Didn’t he buy into all of his companies?

What a weird way to say that. He “gave” us spacex or Tesla.

  • > Didn’t he buy into all of his companies?

    No, he founded them.

    Tesla technically existed on paper before Musk, but they didn’t even have a working prototype, and their facility was a home garage. In all practical terms he founded Tesla as well.

    Twitter he bought obviously, which is why I didn’t mention it.

    • He didn’t found Tesla, The Boring Company or Twitter and got ousted from PayPal.

      … also I was looking at your comments, your rate of Elon glaze per min is really impressive.

      That is a complete and utter lie. Even Hannity made this obvious in his interview yesterday and the look on Elon’s face was priceless.

He hasn't "given" society anything, we pay these companies for their services (often with taxpayer dollars!)

It doesn't suck that SpaceX or Tesla exists. It sucks that the person who has profited most from those entities is using their power to destroy government agencies that oversee his companies, and more broadly, to constantly lie and try to destroy the federal government.

    He’s given society new products and services that didn’t exist before, the option to purchase from those companies, and the tax revenue from those companies (to the tune of hundreds of billions)
