How is it similar, besides them both not being trained in the business they manage, and being (now that Musk just bought Twitter) in the software business?
Musk has been a car and rockets guy previously, which isn't very similar. Gates didn't go around claiming that ridiculous ideas like air pressure tunnels for trains would work or hyperloops would be efficient. It's been 9 years of "self driving next year".
Musk is more PT Barnum, like a snake oil salesman. I don't get any of that from Gates.

Same. Showed everything you need to know about the little toe ragFunny, that incident was what turned me too
His code for zip had to be completely tossed and the work redone.Musk was a software guy before becoming a car and rockets guy.
He founded Zip2 and X.com which became paypal.

Who knows how many bots and russian agents vote for Trump?Cast my vote as "no" because that's my job as a citizen of a sane world. Who are the fecking bellends who want him back and why are there this many?
Who knows how many bots and russian agents vote for Trump?
(Or if Musk himself "fixed" the vote... a programmer can put any number in there.... )
Among other things It needed having a mom working in IBM coluding to have your kid software push through at the right time to get a software monopoly that killed several good companies like netscape.The company that Gates founded and built will in all likelihood last beyond his own lifetime, and probably with a greater value than it had the day he stepped down from being its leader. That's quite an accomplishment in itself because it takes more than just having 1-2 good ideas.
This episode is where real Musk strucked me. Before that event i was convinced that he was the great guy that everybody saidThis was during that Thailand cave rescue. He sent his Boring Company folks to the site to devise a rescue plan using their 'technology' (mostly for publicity, one would think). Unfortunately for him, the divers completed the rescue using traditional means and that triggered our manchild
His engineering was just too hardcoreHis code for zip had to be completely tossed and the work redone.
Is that all they have in common? Because that hardly makes them look like similar people.

Why is up and running Twitter is the benchmark for Musk magic? It's tragic?
I don't like the guy, but i'd bet good money that Twitter will still be up and running in 10 days time. As usual the internet overreacts to everything and thinks the sky is falling down without understanding anything.
Why would twitter not be up and running in 10 days time.?

Why not @ me directly?I don't like the guy but = I'm not a royal but = Ronaldo's a twat but he's our twat = Mourinho is a serial winner who can't handle losing = at least Trump was entertaining = ad nauseam for the world's biggest bunch of manchild cnuts.
They still don't quite get freedom of speech. It's a private company ffs, I hate Elon and he's an idiot but he can do what he wants with the company.
Isn't it more about Elon claiming to be all about "Free speech" though?They still don't quite get freedom of speech. It's a private company ffs, I hate Elon and he's an idiot but he can do what he wants with the company.
Yes but him taking a decision not to let someone come into his business, albeit virtually, to scream stuff isn't an impingement of free speechIsn't it more about Elon claiming to be all about "Free speech" though?

Oh I agree of course, but the point is I think a lot of the people posting about him going back on his word about it know that too. He's clearly used the general American public's lack of knowledge on what free speech actually is to gather support before doing what the hell he wants.Yes but him taking a decision not to let someone come into his business, albeit virtually, to scream stuff isn't an impingement of free speech
Oh for sure. Plus now they're trying to redupe people that them not getting what they want (free reign to make up stuff and say the n word basically) is an impingement of free speechOh I agree of course, but the point is I think a lot of the people posting about him going back on his word about it know that too.

I don't remember Gates being such public tit.But I am not comparing Gates to Musk.
I am comparing the Gates-hate to Musk-hate.
He did famously send his goons to trash the home office of Compu Global Hyper Mega Net and put them out of businessI don't remember Gates being such public tit.
You heard about that on fox, am I right?He did famously send his goons to trash the home office of Compu Global Hyper Mega Net and put them out of business
