Yeah, but other than one of the largest Jewish advocacy groups who else is defending him? What would the ADL know about antisemitism anyway?

This is the new ad-hominem of 2025. Can’t refute someone’s points? It must be evil AI.

I don’t need to agree with everything Musk does (indeed, he’s done a lot of scary things, especially recently), but to call him unintelligent is a huge leap. For what he has done for space travel ALONE he deserves a lot of credit. Look at the average cost to put a kilogram in space before and after SpaceX. Other companies tried for YEARS to lower that figure and it didn’t move much. But sure, go ahead and dunk on him if you like. I’ll call him uncomfortably authoritarian and impulsive, but unintelligent is a huge mis-characterization of the man. Not everyone that makes choices you don’t agree with are unintelligent…

Totally not true, my friends. Let me break it down for y’all.

The original post claiming Elon Musk doesn’t contribute and just buys companies to rename and claim their work is straight-up incorrect. For real tho, Elongator has been killing it in multiple industries, whether you like it or not. Let’s dive in:

Tesla: While he didn’t start the company, he sure did make some major moves. In 2004, he invested $6.35 million to become Tesla’s biggest shareholder and chairman. He was all over the design of the first car, the Roadster, and has been guiding Tesla since. Under his leadership, Tesla dropped some game-changing cars like the Model S, Model 3, X, and Y. Not just electric cars, but innovation in the industry. Can’t deny that.

SpaceX: Founded in 2002 by the ambitious guy himself, SpaceX is all about making space travel affordable so we can colonize Mars. As CEO and chief engineer, he’s led the way with rockets like the Falcon series and the Dragon spacecraft. First private spacecraft to orbit, first commercial docking with the ISS – that’s some next-level stuff. Reusable rockets? Yeah, that’s changing the game big time.

The summary provided by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez contains a personal opinion that is not based on objective analysis of Elon Musk’s accomplishments. Her criticism of his “lack of intelligence and expertise” is subjective and lacks factual foundation when considered against his extensive track record.

Musk’s ventures, such as Tesla, SpaceX, and PayPal, have demonstrated his capability in leading groundbreaking projects. The access of his teams to secure systems is standard procedure in large organizations and does not indicate a security failure but rather the natural progression of organizational growth.

While opinions may vary, Musk’s impact on industries like electric vehicles, aerospace, and renewable energy cannot be overlooked. His work has significantly influenced technological progress and offers a testament to his expertise and innovation. Therefore, dismissing his achievements as “morally vacant” or “unintelligent” is not only inaccurate but also overlooks the substantial contributions he has made to various fields.
