Content warning: John Oliver Elon Musk Segment
Someone I follow on the fediverse said the John Oliver segment on Musk was meh. I don't watch his show or even most segments but decided to give it a whirl. At some point early in Oliver says something to the effect of, "There are people who absolutely love Musk and there are people who absolutely hate him. This is probably going to piss off both of them." Being someone who at this point has complete visceral contempt for Musk, more than anyone I know, I proceeded with some trepidation. I think I arrived at my opinion of Musk honestly but who doesn't think they arrive at their opinions honestly? So did this piss me off or trigger me? At this point I know every nook and cranny of the reality of Musk, the perceptions of Musk, and everything in between. Nothing presented was novel to me but probably will be to many. Honestly, I thought the segment did a solid job of distilling the whole debacle that is Elon Musk into a an entertaining yet informative 15 minute piece that hits all the broadstrokes. It didn't piss me off or trigger me at all. I enjoyed it enough I think it is worth sharing for those who only are familiar with the MSM propagated "Real Tony Stark" version of Elon Musk. #ElonMusk #JohnOliver #BillionairesShouldNotExist

in reply to Hank G ☑️ • • •One thing was missing and one thing was misleading from my point of view.
The first thing: Sadly he hasn't mentioned his "I'm the founder of Tesla" claim.
And the second thing: From my point of view the comparison of SLS vs. Starship was misleading.
But the rest surely was really okay.

No. Musk didn't do that. His money paid real people to do that for the company. They get the credit. Musk gets side credits for funding. That's all.
