No. You are saying all that stuff -- not me.
I am just contesting the OP's knowledge/belief that Elon Musk is such an "awful" person. I find it strange that much of the Musk hate has only arisen in such a prominent way after his offer to buy Twitter.
I am also wondering why the OP would gratuitously add that statement in a thread purportedly about a TSLA phone. Musk's personal characteristics have nothing to do with the pros and cons of a TSLA phone -- same for Steve Jobs and the iPhone actually.
As for the phone, it looks okay but I think it will have trouble disrupting a mature market with a few very large players.
He publicly accused someone of being a peadophile on Twitter because they were an expert in cave rescues and Elon Musk was trying to force an idea to rescue trapped children that would not work.
The guy went to sue Musk, and Musk won simply because he could afford better lawyers. All the guy wanted was an apology, which Musk gave, then backtracked on.
In recent years all his announcements have only existed for market manipulation. Recently he told everyone to buy cryptocurrencies, and that Tesla would take Crypto payments in order to get people to buy cryptocurrencies that he was wanting to sell. Within a week he has sold all of his cryptocurrency, and Tesla went back on their promise to take crypto payments, the market then crashed.
With Twitter he made a legally binding offer to buy them and is now bullying them and trying to get it’s share price to fall so that he can pick them up for much less than he promised to pay.
People think that he helped start up Tesla, when in fact when he bought the company he made the sellers and original founders back up the claim that he was an original founder.
PayPal was the idea of a college friend of his, he took the idea because his family were wealthy and he could afford too (a fact that he tries to hide).
Everything he has done has been a con. Tesla is ran on largely existing technology, the Model 3 was released to provide an affordable electric car and it is priced much higher than comparable cars and it’s initial price.
The Tesla truck (semi) is not fit for purpose in the haulage industry, but he’ll get units sold because he’ll encourage governments to set up tariffs for haulage companies who don’t have electric units.
Hyper loop is existing technology that has been used for decades, and no one is interested in hyper loops version and prefer traditional Maglev technology.
Everything he does is a con, and he gets away with it because the system allows him to market manipulate and to lobby governments.
