You got any more of dem pixels?
Elon had no involvement in teslas founding
Nor is he a visionary. The asshole part is correct, though!
on a ted talk I watched 10 years ago, he says he's no visionary. he's not into that kind of stuff
He can be Kind oft an asshole though. π
of course
At first I read "quiet Greek engineer" and I was like, damn they Greeks now to do engineering. Then I thought Linus couldn't look less Greek.
Elon Musk didn't found shit. He's a fucking loser poser.
Co-founder by legal title (obtained as part of a settlement), not by, you know, co-founding.
Like how heβs the chief engineer of SpaceX. With no qualifications.
Oh well, at least his Path of Exile account was probably legit. /s
obtained as part of a settlement
This makes it worse IMO. What a fucking loser poser. So desperate for acknowledgement that he needs to steal it through litigation.
Imagine if someone said "I don't have any knowledge or expertise in this area but I really believed in what these guys were doing and I could see their capacity for greatness so I chose to support their endeavors". There's certainly no shame in that.
I don't have any knowledge or expertise in this area but I really believed...
I think it would be fine if someone said that and started something.
Elon only started space x though. He's just been a winey bitch with cash in every other scenario
You can call Linus a lot of things but "stylish" is a bit of a stretch.
So is "quiet".
I don't know those shirts he wears with the spiders on them is pretty neat. what brand is that anyways?
Uh... about that...
what? something wrong with this? https://thecodinglove.com/content/053/linus-torvalds-github-git-20-years.jpg
Looking at the cars, I'm surprised there was a designer and not just a toddler and their crayons
I suspect the designer was quite frequently overridden by the toddler with crayons.
On one hand, it must be frustrating to come up with a design only for you boss to come and throw it out. On the other, I suspect he'll wipe away his tears with dollar bills.
Gabe would fit in too no? Haha
