You can be great at one phase of your life. Motivating people, working 20 hours a day, sleeping in the office. Probably Tesla would have gone under without Elon pushing, motivating, and showing his investment (meaning of time and energy).
It doesn't mean you are a statesman, a scholar, or all knowing. About anything.
It also doesn't mean that you can solve every problem you encounter in life with that kind of behavour.
Tesla as a company is an impressive accomplishment. Elon does sound crazy, however.
I recommend reading a biography of Musk and the creation of Tesla. It's abundantly clear neither would exist without Musk. Anyone would want to be called such a "sad loser"!
There are lots of nice people in the world who don't do anything much for us. People like Musk, on the other hand, create this world we can enjoy. Consequences matter more than motivations.
And what exactly have you accomplished in your life that has bettered others' lives?
Don't get me wrong it's perfectly fine to criticize someone on specific things - however, you are just blanket calling someone you don't know a sad loser... honestly says more about you than him.
oh bugger all, and I'm content with that. I don't think he is though. he just doesn't seem okay. if I were that filthy rich, I'd pay somebody to make sure I'm not coming across as a lunatic, I wouldn't joke about buying a blog and then panic when I can't pull out of the contract. i wouldn't tell advertisers to go fuck themselves and then sue them for not advertising on my blog.
