Elon Musk
Sep 8^th, 2018 at 3:14pm

I do respect him, but I've always suspected most of the hype around him is a fair bit of smoke and mirrors. His greatest skill is having the vision and bringing the talent together to male it happen, but it seems the average bloke attributes everything he does directly to him.

So last night I was listening to the Joe Rogan podcast with Musk. Joe has some amazing guests and the format is long and rambling and some very serious people get a chance to go way off piste. For example Neil Degrasse Tyson was on last week, and they just chatted about stuff, rather than him having to explain...again...about black holes, which the convention media always make him do in a 2:30 interview.

Anyway, so about after 30 mins of listening to Musk, I was bored. He's not an engaging person to listen to and I really don't buy a lot of things he said when it came to stuff like AI

He's in the schit today for sparking up a joint on the podcast Wink

It must be hard being someone like him. Always being torn down by the masses no matter what he does just because he has loads of money.

I don't mind a guy/gal who can GET THINGS DONE..

governments annoy me to no end with study after study after study about fairy farts and safe spaces... when all you want is a crossing across the road to make it safe for children at the skate park to go across the road to go to the Toilet....

FOUR YEARS LATER... '

I nearly went down there with a can of paint and put the lines down myself.. how hard can it be ffs... Roll Eyes

Well.....the lines you put down would have zero enforceable relevance..........no better than pointless graffiti.
