He's a successful scammer, for sure, but at the end of the day still a scammer who got fired for incompetence and then got lucky.
A scammer who is the CEO of 2 of the most valuable companies in the US...
That's how scammers work, yes ..
"most valuable companies" lol
A scammer who used his money he made through scamming to become CEO, and then to scam even more:
Scams his employees by paying too little or not at all
Scams his money lenders by breaking their investment
Scams his customers by asking premium prices for underperforming products
Scams governments out of funding
Scams new tech startups by suing them in order to be called a founder
Scams every person in every country his companies operate in by not paying the taxes he is owed
I wasn't talking about Twitter.
SpaceX launched 60% of three global space launch market, I would say that's pretty damn important. Also, Starlink.
In any case, it's obviously the people who work at these companies that are doing the work, not Mr muskrat.
Are you going to tell us next that cigarette companies didn't scam the public when they knew that their products caused cancer and didn't reveal it because Phillip-Morris was so valuable?
How about Theranos? At peak it was worth $9 billion. Not a scam, right?
I think you meant "least valuable", because they're garbage.
I want downvotes too, you know.
