    Musk is the best possible evidence of this - an incredibly stupid, fragile edgelord born to other peoples’ wealth, lucked his way into more on the backs of others’ work. Now, everything he touches loses billions.

        A cat could be dropped into the job, spend the whole day licking its arsehole, and still do a better job than Musk. All he had to do was shut his dumb mouth and spend his money, but he’s incapable of even that.

      Not an Elon Fan but saying the richest man is the world was just incredible lucky is a little ridiculous. I am sure luck played a part but I don’t think Musk is the Inspector Clouseau of the business world. At least not in the 90s and 2000s.

        Isn’t anyone who has hordes of wealth lucky? How can that not be luck? No one earns that much. It’s luck that he happened to be born to that life.

        Yeah I agree, I don’t think it’s all luck either. But I do paint him in a bad light for not doing well with what he had in his hands. I’ll probably never know what kinds of unseen pressure one tends to experience as a billionaire but he’s really not doing well, to put it kindly.
