Bill Gates calls Elon Musk’s embrace of far-right politicians abroad ‘insane shit’
-
Yeah, he cares so much about “polio” and hiv which is fine and all, but he is trying to justify Trump ffs, who is, and was, a covid denier! Calling out musk is the bare minimum, and its just so crazy that nobody has done so yet
-
Do what? Governments need to do more.
You're saying Bill Gates should meddle in international affairs to stop Musk?

I would call 2020 close enough to today to call it the modern era. So he IS being judged for who he's recently shown himself to be
-
Of course there are things he should be criticised for. You bring up one example here.
An example with a body count exceeding that of almost all other people on earth. That's worthy if far more than just "criticism".
If he had been poor and responsible for the same number of avoidable deaths, he would be rightly considered one of history's greatest monsters.
What I am saying is, that you should not judge him on what he did four decades ago, but how he is acting today.
And today he's acting like a goddamn monster who values property and profits over thousands if not millions of human lives. That's what I'm judging him for today.

Didn’t he short Tesla?

To be fair there are plenty of ruthless greedy people with zero morals out there but Musk is far more successful than any of them so something has to differentiate him. He might not be intelligent enough to recognise what a crigerworthy loser he is but let's not pretend he isn't smart.
-
not by accident, but certainly by luck, and then you can argue whether someone makes their own luck or not, musk hit the jackpot of being at the right moment at the right time and having the right skillset.
There are plenty of alternate universes out there where he became a nobody after paypal.

If he's so desperate to impress about something as inconsequential as gaming, what kind of lies is he saying about everything else ...

Smart can mean many things. My dentist is smart, but he is not well rounded. Most people aren't well rounded smart.
Musk is a good investor, and expert con artist. He is smart in those ways.
