We gotta draw a brighter like between "Invented something" and "owns the company that created something" Very tired of hearing how some CEO who's never visited his own offices "invented" some piece of tech. He just threw money in a hole, man. Smart, talented employees made the tech. - ThreadSky

Brighter LINE* 😔

I know this is a vapid point that everyone on earth has made, particularly about people like Elon Musk or even Steve Jobs, but like...beyond the "Erm, actually" pedantry of it, I feel like it gets used a lot as a smokescreen. Look at all the things billionaires make! We're so lucky to have them!

When in reality, we'd still have all those things under a sane economic model, because all those talented people would still exist. They'd just be appropriately compensated.

Musk is the worst of them, he’s literally just an investor.

At least Gates/Jobs/amazon dude worked at their companies at the start, Musk was born rich and bought a series of companies out after getting lucky in the Dotcom boom.

He inherited his family's slave labour money.

There was this post on twitter making fun of Elon and one of the replies said "But you´re here in his community, using the tools he created 😌" and like WHAT are you talking about?? He literally just bought themmmm

Always said this about Steve jobs too, none of those people made shit.

He is good at buying things.
He is not good at knowing things.
