The world's richest(?) man paid $44 Billion dollars - some of it even HIS! - to buy a social media site used by about 6% of the planet and found out that social media services aren't actually software companies and client-relations aren't an engineering problem... well, just kidding - he didn't actually learn any of those things; but everyone ELSE is watching him FAIL to learn them and that's almost as instructive, isn't it? 🤣  

For almost two decades, The Internet and a sizable portion of "Tech Culture" talked itself into believing that an wealthy-born eccentric dilettante - clearly NEVER the sharpest shovel in the Apartheid emerald mine - was actually a genius-level science innovator because he had "Smart Person" interests and paid to be called the "founder" of various trendy companies and brands. How did this mass cultural delusion go on SO LONG? Because The Internet is STUPID - and nothing is ever MORE stupid than when fooling itself into believing in something.

Good episode overall. As an autistic person, I appreciated the way you handled Elon's autism as being neither good or bad. My only complaint is the rant about "evolution" and "natural selection" no longer taking place because life's gotten easier for the average person. It's just one of those really old, tired arguments that doesn't hold up to basic scrutiny and is more likely to make the kind of people you're trying to communicate to click off this video before they've heard your otherwise well thought out ideas.

Companies don't exist without the money guy, unfortunately. SpaceX started with him. Tesla wasn't going to exist - it had no product or facilities when he arrived. And he did lead Tesla through the part that no other car company in the US has managed since before WWII: Getting to mass production and profitability. That said, he sure doesn't seem to understand that Twitter is the one thing Tesla does poorly: customer relations.
