    I met Elon in ~1999 when they were pitching us integrating their payment system into our software which was run by a number of the largest firms in the world. Have you ever met a group where one of them is clearly a moron but it is also the best at selling? That’s Elon. We passed because our company was run by nerds without an ounce of corporate in it, but I can easily see how Elon would “wow” an executive dipshit that doesn’t know shit about the product. Elon is a salesman for the tech enthusiasts, not the tech professionals. He sells what they call dreams and we call vaporware.

      He’s another steve jobs…dude was an idiot for tech, but a salesman that could sell bananas to monkeys.

      This is why elon is dangerous, he’s not dumb, and knows how to sell shit to the masses.
