I didn't say he's failing at everything - SpaceX certainly seems a huge success. Telsa had been doing well, although sales are now declining fast, and the Cybertruck has been a failure. He massively overpaid for Twitter, ruined the site, then got X.ai to bail him out. X.ai seems like a failure - evidentially not enough demand to utilize the data center he built for it, and when have you seen anyone say they use Grok for anything ?

And now SpaceX investors are going to be left as the bag holders for X.ai/Twitter.

He's a big gambler with some judgement. But being a big gambler by definition means you will not always get it right.

  • It is always so odd seeing how many internet people consider any new attempt that doesn't go immediately viral with success as a bad mark on someone's character.

    • If you're not able to see a whole slew of "bad marks" on Musk's character, then you haven't been paying much attention. It's not either/or - you can be be successful in some areas while being a childish twit and moron in others.

He didn’t ruin the site. I think you don’t use it much so you don’t know. It’s pretty good now.

  • It's unusable nowadays if you use the "For You" feed, and even if you stick to people you follow, most of the interesting people have left.
