IMHO, probably not; musk seems interested in his own finances, and on pitting people against minorities so that they don’t see him stealing from them.
Can people please stop saying “believe “ in climate change.
You either understand it or you don’t .
Oh don’t worry, Musk will see the light now that he’s found his one true god.
Yes. Musk will stop believing in global warming because he’s Trump’s bitch.

When ever was musk slamming roadsters together in a garage?
Just like every other business he was involved, he didn’t build the basics, he just bought himself in
Tesla was existing before him - when they actually slammed together a roadster in a garage - and with PayPal he only got on after they found their footing (and he fucked up with a competing product as far as I remember)
Without his start capital, he wouldn’t have had anything.
I give him, that this is more than just luck, but it’s much more him being known and having money, than him being a business genius - and I don’t even want to talk about the technical side, because pretty much everything he said on this front was bullshit (from pure software, to automation and…ok, I can’t really talk about rockets, but it also wasn’t him who did the actual work)
In my opinion he is just a parasite, like most so called managers - and CEOs are just the queen of them
Edit: holy fuck, I made quite some typos…

He wasn’t slapping them together even metaphorically. He injected huge amounts of cash that enabled the capable people to do their jobs and which allowed the company to grow. Imagine your job getting a huge donation from someone and then that person went around acting like they were sitting in the cubicle next to yours the whole time and even claimed some of your ideas were theirs.
That’s it. He is a coinpurse that also happens to shout insane racist things on Twitter. Elon Musk is fucking dough-brained moron and one of the big problems with capitalism is how much having money makes it harder and harder to lose the more you have.

Yeah, I get you
I just didn’t want to give him the credit, that he is the actual genius behind the companies, like he always wants to present himself
Because every time he talks about something, I at least know something about (like self-driving cars), I know, he is just talking shit and absolutely doesn’t know what the fuck he is talking about.
So the sentence, that he, like he himself, slaps together cars, was the drop that brought me to that answer.
Wasn’t really against you, I just don’t want to promote his wanted image of a genius inventor

Well, he is just deeply narcissistic and looks for validation, like you say.
I don’t know, if there will ever be a moment, that he thinks he’s successful enough to earn love.
But he is also an adult. And even though he has his emotional problems, he is a very shitty parent to his trans child. And just forwarding all the hate, because he can’t handle his feelings isn’t acceptable.
He still has a shitload of money and just with that enough power to move things.Which is dangerous, when he can influence geo politics that much - see StarLink in war or near war scenarios, and just recently the US election.
I actually would really like to know, why he is feeling so insecure and needs all this validation, and with what success he would say, that’s it, now I’m fine.
Lmao
musk invented 0 things.
Musk engineered 0 things.
All musk did was market bullshit that doesn’t work/exist. He’s the perfect fit for the GOP.
Musk has never tightened a goddamn bolt in his life, and if you handed him a hammer he would likely hold it improperly.

It’s truly terrifying how much some people just fall Hook Line and Sinker for propaganda.

Wow what a clever attempt at misdirection there. Did the Muskrat teach you that when he was telling you about how he built roadsters?

The thing is, global warming isn’t going to make the whole globe uninhabitable, just large parts of it. And Elon is rich enough that it won’t really affect him. He can move to wherever he wants, and can insulate himself from the displaced refugees. So to himself, it doesn’t really matter whether he believes in it, it probably won’t change his actions.

the only difference between a billionaire who believes in climate change and one who doesn’t is that one of them is gonna spend more on a sweet apocalypse bunker with gold plated slurpee machines. neither would do anything about it if it hurt their bottom line.
Musk will simply change his opinion. He’ll come up with some pseudoscientific wording while he does it, and his little minions will gobble it all up and call him a genius. Then they’ll start spewing some tired talking point with a Musky spin, and it’ll spread like the virus it is.
Also, Musk seems to be relying on not addressing global warming to accelerate his ambition of colonising Mars.
Musk believes in it, but has no interest in ameliorating it. His plan is ‘find a new planet’

I’ve heard this called “soft climate denial”, and unforntuately it’s widespread.
People like Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi say that they believe in climate change. But let’s imagine that we’re roommates and you told me that there’s an out of control wildfire a few miles away and the governor has told us all to evacuate. One roommate says that they don’t belive it and they’re staying. And I say ‘Shame on you for denying this! I firmly believe in the wildfire. It’s urgent that we act now, which is why I’ve ordered travel maps on Amazon so we can begin plotting our evacuation route as soon as they arrive.’
Would you characterize this is accepting the crisis, or being in a state of soft denial?
