Elon Musk will be world's first trillionaire, predicts Morgan Stanley

Not sure how you feel... but I truly believe this guy is single-handedly moving this world forward... with the United States at the helm.

One thing I like about him is his hesitance with Ai.

I do not for a moment believe that Elon Musk is "single-handedly" doing any such thing.
You will get agreement from me that he has been instrumental in technological progress, but Musk, by himself, does nothing but "aggregate" the brilliant people and resources required to accomplish things. Without them he is akin to a conductor without an orchestra.
I'd be very cautious about attempting elevate anyone like Musk to "God-like status" even though you may be personally in awe of him.
Musk is only one of many individuals "moving the world forward".[This message has been edited by randye (edited 10-20-2021).]

At one time I bet the same thing could have been said about Edison. I wonder how history will treat Mr. Musk

Rothschilds aren't already trillionaires? If not, they will be before Musk.

Appropriate that you mention history and old Tommy.
Like Musk, Edison was also a great public relations and promotions man and he really loved his nickname; "The wizard of Menlo Park" and he made the most of it.
Musk's various endeavors also have a lot in common with Edison's "invention factory" where Edison employed hundreds of engineers, technicians and craftsmen that developed new ideas and Edison then put his own name on the inventions they came up with.[This message has been edited by randye (edited 10-21-2021).]

A lot (hundreds of gallons worth of paint) has been applied recently to make Tesla like an angel and Edison a demon.
Edison might have been a pr1ck b@stard. from that whole "$ 50,000 improve my generators joke"
but Jesus, musk- make a damn affordable electric car like the Volkswagen beetle.
60-80 thousand isn't affordable by most people.
Make one between 10-20 thousand.
Last time we 'Looked" it was over 80 to get get an electric SUV which is just crazy.
I do admire his ambition, but he's a complete and total sh1t dad and husband (multiple times) and his products are not within my range of affording them... so even though I clap my hands loudly, my wallet says "eff him up the hole in his ass ". and at the same time, "best wishes to his continued success" . but IMMENSELY more importantly - what do his kids think of him?
he's kinda a dick. and a "Tony Start" perhaps, but whatever. I guess if he is making you money.. "yayfor you", but whatever. talk to some kids in school, they aren't being "all charged up" by ANY of this.
And THAT is who we should be making sure actually "gives a crap"
The kids.
If I shrugged any harder, my arms would effing fall off.
The kids are SO ignorant - don't know how to farm. don't know how to read or write cursive (or at all, really) no "critical thinking skills, etc."... Think I am mistaken?
I deleted the rest because I need to get some sleep... :sleep:

Edison kinda seemed like a big fat jerk. Tesla had countless inventions and innovations and Edison was a douchebag. Wish they cloned Tesla a dozen times.[This message has been edited by TheDigitalAlchemist (edited 10-21-2021).]
