I'm just glad that nearly trillionaire Musk, who understands the common person, is trying to take control - instead of this elite lot.

Oh, good show, Musk is now supporting AFD in Germany.

He'll look good with those runic S on his collar.

Er, Seattle Computer Products according to reports. We'd have used CP/M86 if Gary Kildall hadn't been off flying his plane.

oops, got the hardware right, at least.
wasn't really paying attention to micros back in the day

I.B.M.

deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic and a neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath

can't say I'd disagree with any of that.

I wonder where Bill Gates got DOS?

Well the south african git has one thing going for him: he didn't like Saint Steve of Jobs.

[vetran]

He has an impressive CV but many people don't actually realise:

• he didn't invent PayPal technology or start the company
• he didn't invent Tesla technology or start the company
• he didn't invent Space-X technology
• he didn't invent Twitter technology or start the company, although he managed to reduce its share value massively when he bought it

In all those cases he just came in with funding along with other shareholders. In the case of Space-X, the US government is the major source of funding, without which they wouldn't have got a rocket off the ground.

They probably wouldn't have market share without him.

Pretty sure Warren Buffet didn't invent tradng and I wonder where Bill Gates got DOS?

Whilst I agree that having super rich people can be a challenge Musk's achievements have pushed the world forwards far from stifling innovation. Most historically super rich have done the same. America would have no finance market or railroads without.

Oi! .

Let's face it, Elon has to get a return on all that money he splurged getting the Orange Moron reelected. .

No one person should have this amount of wealth and therefore power. The system is broken and by that I meant the global tax system.
Wealth begets wealth, and while I'm generally a fan of capitalism, without regulation and restriction it fails to meet its own aims.
Competition is crushed or bought up by existing players, stifling innovation, destroying competition, reducing consumer choice and increasing prices.

Lets hope America does so well economically that we get some of the run off.

Elon's net worth just hit $430 Billion. Well a head of everyone else. He is expected to be a Trillionaire, $1000 Billion, by 2028.

Luckily for us Elon does seem very interested in helping MBGA in the UK.

From the interview with him following his naming as Time Person Of The Year, it looks like Trump's main campaign promise to reduce grocery prices will be about as reliable as all his other promises
