I flew to chicago and back for 70 dollars
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?
