I was watching a cast clip where they played musk in a meeting with twitter devs (or assholes pretending to be them / pms / managers) and Musk said "We'll just have to rewrite the whole thing". And one dev said "What do you mean rewrite the whole thing? You mean one part? Or literally throw the whole thing away? Do you know what you're talking about? Do you even know what components there are to twitter?"

And Musk stumbled. And even though the "dev" should have been blasted through a cheese grater for having your obvious expected liberal ego through the roof. No actual question he said was wrong. Then the caster said "Does Musk actually know programming? Is there some reason we should believe he does?"

It made me think. It does actually seem that Musk barely knows wtf he's talking about when it comes to programming from that clip. It made me think, this sounds a lot like Bill Gates. Supposedly just bought the code (to MSDos) and who tf actually knows how much he can code, probably exactly zero. But back then we thought just as like we did with Musk, that he knew how to code.

Ultimately Gates was then, really just a business guy who was a bit more 'magically' in the right place as the right time as far as business opportunities go. AND he was willing to take the role as a tech celebrity, just as Musk now.

It wasn't until decades later that Bill Gates was trying to reduce the population. We're still in the early days of Musk.

Is Musk an early Bill Gates but with modern appeal and grievances?

Gates could code though. There's stories of him giving fairly good technical interviews to job applicants. I think he had a realistic view of human limits, especially his own. He bought DOS because he knew both the value and the cost, not because he couldn't program it himself. Rather, he just understood that it would be a huge undertaking and would never be ready in time for business use if he took it on personally.

Yes, they're both jewish and they were both given their riches by the US taxpayer by-way-of some arm of the intel community. His mother is an (((artist))) and his father is a South African (((mining magnate))), musk's. Gates is part of a banking dynasty or something. I forget exactly but he didn't earn his wealth, he was born into it.

his father was from a rich family, and himself a high profile lawyer, board member of the Chamber of Commerce, Planned Parenthood, president of the state Bar Association, etc his mother was also from a rich banking family, big into United Way, sat on some boards, etc.
