Musk hamnade i Paypal när hans bolag X.com via flera fusioner blev en del av Paypal. Det är lite oklart för mig vad Musk bidrog med.P Pligg85 skrev:
Musks bidrag till OpenAI tror jag var ganska litet. Mest bidrog han kanske som finansiär, men hans del av startkapitalet var inte störst. Efter drygt två år avgick Musk ur OpenAIs styrelse, och senare hamnade han i öppen konflikt med OpenAI.P Pligg85 skrev:
Nejdå, men det är elbils- och rymdverksamhet han har gjort störst avtryck i, enligt min mening.P Pligg85 skrev:
Eftersom många här inne ogillar Musk tänkte jag lägga in en text jag snubblade över som instämmer med min syn på honom.
“After the PayPal acquisition, I had $180 million. I put $100M into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, and $10M into SolarCity. I had to borrow money to pay my rent.”
– Elon Musk
This isn't just a quote.
It’s a window into the mind of one of the most daring visionaries of our time.
Imagine this: you’ve just made $180 million.
You could buy yachts, mansions, and never worry about money again. Anyone else would’ve settled into a life of comfort.
But Elon Musk?
He poured every last cent into companies that everyone said were doomed to fail.
SpaceX was called a fantasy. Tesla was mocked — no one believed electric cars would take off. SolarCity was seen as a losing bet.
He didn’t just invest his money — he bet his entire future. And when things got tough — and they did — he didn’t quit. He literally had to borrow money for rent, while being ridiculed by the media and doubted by the world.
But he never gave up.
He believed in something bigger than himself:
A future where humans become a multiplanetary species. A future where clean energy powers the world. A future where innovation drives humanity forward.
That kind of belief isn’t just rare — it’s almost impossible. And yet, Elon had it. In full. With everything on the line.
Today, SpaceX lands rockets, Tesla dominates electric vehicles, and solar power is changing the world.
So the next time someone says Elon is just another billionaire… Remind them: He went broke chasing a better world. Not for money — but for you, me, and the generations to come.
That’s not luck. That’s legacy.

Tesla har tappat enormt mycket försäljning det här året. I Sverige har försäljningen av nya Teslabilar i april minskat med 72 % jämfört med förra året. Samtidigt har den totala elbilförsäljningen i april ökat med 25 % jämfört med april förra året.
En VD som gör nazisthälsning tycks inte vara en framgångsrik marknadsföringsstrategi.

Sverige har mycket lite kvar av vänstermedia, svenska tidningar är med få undantag borgligt ägda.Tokslut skrev:
Ja, det där är ju en intressant historia, nu verkar ju Tesla se sig om efter en ny VD men frågan är om det kommer lösa allt. Elon har ju själv pratat om hur effektiva kineserna är och även om Tesla är i ett mycket bättre läge än de gamla tillverkarna så är man ganska långt efter kineserna, det tappade momentumet kan nog vara dyrt för Tesla som egentligen skulle behöva ta nya steg och effektivisera tillverkningen i snabb takt.P pmd skrev:
Produktmässigt vet jag inte heller hur Teslas avskalade design kommer stå sig mot de nya mer finessrika bilarna, stora skärmar och entertainmentsystem.
