WEBFI-TECH-Elon Musk is no role model
Tesla CEO Elon Musk claims he does not want to be involved in politics… but his active presence on Twitter engaging with (and sometimes antagonizing) elected officials says otherwise. In the latest episode of The Point, CNN’s Chris Cillizza discusses how Musk’s activity online undercuts his other work.

In general, I believe government should rarely impose its will upon the people, and, when doing so, should aspire to maximize their cumulative happiness. That said, I would prefer to stay out of politics.

Man yall are sad. Attacking Joe rogan and now elon musk. CNN is a bunch of scumbags like their viewers
CNN is once again correct for all the wrong reasons. Here's why he is actually no role model:
1. His initial wealth came from an emerald mine with child laborers, not exactly what someone forward thinking would obtain money from
2. His dad loaned him 20 mil, not exactly your everyman
3. He has created nothing, his engineers are the ones doing all the actual creativity, he's just a fancy PR hype man that steals credit.
4. His solution to bad traffic was slow, inefficient single lane RGB deathtrap tunnels with no ability to escape if a tesla catches on fire..which…they do. A lot. Man came up with a worse version of the subway and wants credit for it lmao.
5. Man had the gall to fire employees for smoking weed, then smoked a fat blunt himself. Someone forward thinking wouldn't set "Rules for Thee and not for Me" as an example.
8. Elon outright stole the title of co-founder from the actual people who started Tesla after doing a hostile takeover of the company. Is that what a role model would do? If so, what role are you wanting to become? A fraud?
9. Literally abused his wife after the loss of her child.
10. Where's the Hyperloop??? America trusted Elon with building the hyperloop a decade ago. Now China has a state of the art long distance high speed transit system…and America has bumkiss. Outstanding job.
Honorable mention: His rockets last almost as long as I do in bed.
Elon is a PR hype man. Nothing more, nothing less. He is not a visionary, he is not propelling humanity into the future, he is nothing more than a billionaire advertisement for personal success at the expense of everyone else.
If you don't give a damn about humanity and you just wanna be number one, then sure, great role model. You're statistically more likely to win the lottery than be in his financial status, but hey, go for it I guess.
But if you do actually care about the future, Elon is not it. And THAT's The Point.
CNN no news network🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here is a clown that tali king about classy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Musk isn't very smart, at least when it comes to social issues and government. It sounds to me like he is a follower of Ayn Rand, and that in and of itself speaks volumes. Rand worshipped capitalism and the individual. It's no wonder that a Donald Trump could thrive in an environment where Rand is idolized.
It is great watching CNN become more and more irrelevant. And to try and get peoples attention they attack Elon hoping to draw off his popularity.
CNN is that 90’s priest that raped kids, while preaching against masturbation.
He's a better role model then any lying pos at cnn
Funny, but in Germany Musk runs to the government for support, because the people protest his plans to built a huge factory for his electro cars, when this requires more and more land and water resources. Give me a break. He is an unsympathetic egomaniac.
CNN – Clearly No News
Elon musk: richest man in the world, exceptional entrepreneur, scientist and engineer… no role model???
Literally fuck you cnn, you have Elon who’s actually doing something to better the world. Even if those returns won’t make it to everyone immediately, it’s better to have a future where space travel, sustainable energy, etc, will eventually become more available as price goes down, then to just continue business as usual. Meanwhile you’re over here not contributing in any substantial way at all, but merely exposing petty and sometimes flat out arbitrary issues, where the discourse of said issues lead nowhere but to more division. Your entire business model requires you magnify every issue so that everyone will stay pissed, the more people feel pissed and hopeless, the more they watch your programming, and u know this. Shame on your network, and shame on others like it, that includes fox, msnbc, and the other shit peddling corporations masquerading as institutions.
Cnn is trash
Bruh's looking like a discount Kevin Spacey over here. And with how it's been at CNN, probably has more in common than just his looks.
Elon musk is smart. He figured out a way to receive government welfare without the burden of having children
Such a Gooooooood Liberal
You people are old. Elon is a hero for young people. Get a grip, knobs.
Why don't you talk about the good things that he does. Hmmm, donating billions for world hunger, trying to save the planet from global warming.
Yes. 👍 to this video title.
The Holyweird vile eliteratti have been mocking famous and decent people LOONG before Elon Musk has been an adult. Through their media, and SNL and other venues. The standard has been set at the bottom of the sewer by the left. Not by Trump. Trump simply held a mirror to them and they dont like it.
These Left vile creatures have been doing this long before Elon has been an adult, and long before Trump was in politics. The left has used the media, SNL and other venues to humiliate decent people and conservatives for decades. They set the bar at the bottom of the sewer. The left NEVER represented "decency" in the media. Trump simply held a Mirror to them and they cannot handle it.
Cnn you guys are stupid, can't wait to see you guys get sued and shut down
Dislike this Video 👎
You’re not wrong. But, now do a video on Elizabeth Warren. Then do one on Bernie Sanders. Being disingenuous with their constituents from their position is also not worthy of being considered a role model. Shouldn’t we be able to look up to the people we collectively elect to political office?
তোর নানীর হ্যাডা
Isn't that literally what the democratic people did on Twitter to begin with. Elon was just responding in kind to a message similar to them. 😂. They always talking about how the rich never pays their fair share but at the same time, what about them? More than likely they dont pay anything or pay the bare minimum when they already are pretty rich themselves.
He never claimed to be one.
This is news worthy? You shouldn’t want to be like Musk, or probably even work for him. But his products and innovations are amazing.
Elon Musk has F?£K you money, so he can say F?£K you to anyone.
I agree. He is also doing things like starring on SNL in very cringe skits. The Bernie tweet did it for me. I used to look up to him put his behavior lately has been very odd and just goes to show we can't project our "perfect person" ideas on to someone. He is only human after all.
The people who write for CNN are so Evil. They are already thinking about taking down Elon Musk.
You left out the part where Elizebeth Warren called him a free loader.
Don't forget that he supports and enables domestic abuser Amber Heard but of course the media won't report on that truth.
this is actually laughable. insanely selective information lol
