I know and I don't like being that way but I have run a few businesses and can tell you from my experience I can not run more than one. Most can't even do that and I am pretty much in that boat too. Running a business is a pain in the ass and a full time job aside from the actual business of making money.
Most can't run a business. Of those that can, most don't and work for someone else. Of the ones that do run one, 99.9% can't run more than one.
This isn't just me talking, this is something that has been looked at long before Elon Musk had paypal.
When someone says something to me I know is horse shit, I will fire back. I don't like being lied to for any reason. I hate I was hurtful but so it having bullshit thrown at me.
Well I thought we were cool for a second, but not if you're calling me a liar. If you cant operate 50 businesses with FIVE BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS than you are a shit owner unworthy of even a lemonade stand. Guess how many people you can have help run your business with FIVE BILLION dollars....
Every morning I woke up, went to the jobsites, worked, collected receipts, paid fools, kept up the books...yada yada, so you're a fucking retard if you think I dont know what I'm talking about. Businesses are not hard....WHEN YOU RECIEVE FIVE BILLION (5,000,000,000.00) DOLLARS
And what do you mean...you have a few businesses, but can only operate one? Does that mean you are admitting to being a shit owner?? Sounds like it
Dude, we are totally cool.
Everyone lies. Even me. If I lied to someone in a way that was so obvious to them that they called me a liar, I would deserve it and have! I like you despite this post and comments.
Did you just compare running a "job site" to running Tesla or SpaceX?
I had tried several times to run my own business. Only one of them made it until I killed it with the intention of restarting it in another state. Tried and failed to get it going again. No, I have never tried to run more than one at a time. No fucking way. Hell, I have been in the drivers seat for the company I work for now and no thank you! Much harder company to run than the ones I tried.
Does that make me a shit owner? Perhaps and that is ok with me.
Well if you're calling me a liar we ain't cool.
I'm not saying 5 billion and you can run 50 Tesla companies....that's not what you and I were talking about. So I'm going to quote you...and use the full sentence...not some snippet like an asshole...
"How many people do you know of that can run more than one company at the same time? How about 3 or 4 companies? Thats a badass."
You see right there...you were just talking about running businesses, there are many other businesses than Tesla. It sounds like you are saying it's impossible to run multiple businesses, but not only does that completely go against everything else we are saying about Musk owning more than one business, I can show you multiple examples of people running several businesses.
What I'm saying is that if I have 5 billion dollars given to me...I'm not going to operate equipment that should be in a climate controlled cleanroom, out in the middle of the fucking desert.
I also worked tool and die for a precision tubing company, so I understand how much an impact of just one side of the building to the other has on a part with only .0005 tolerance. But I'm sure you're just gonna call me a liar there too.
