Elon's track record

Categories
Tech News

As far as I can tell, Elon is 7 for 9. A pretty good track record.  Here's a list:

 

Zip2 Corporation (an online directory) - sold to Compaq for $22 million

PayPal - sold to eBay for $165 million

Tesla - didn't start it but took it over and now worth roughly $386 billion (market cap as of 1/23)

SolarCity - basically gone and is now Tesla Solar

SpaceX - worth $127 biillion

The Boring Company - valued at $5.7 billion

Neuralink (human/computer interface) - worth anywhere from $500 million - $1 billion

OpenAI - nonprofit to develop artificial intelligence

Twitter -  now worth $8.63 million, down from $19.66 million prior to Elon buying it

 

His companies have changed the automobile and space industries forever. Although Twitter, right now, is dying (IMHO)

Very smart man with some wild ideas. But when that powerful, sometimes bad things happen. Kind of reminds of the Terminator series and how that all came about with artificial intelligence and the military...scary but interesting.

No one is perfect and Elon seems quite capable.....
....of magnifying his faults
