Holy crap, this man does not have an original thought in his head does he?
He thinks he'll become the next Musk by emulating the next Musk. Only problem is, he skipped steps 1-10 which involve owning a company (X.com) that another merges with (Confinity) which becomes a huge company (Paypal) that gets bought out by a massive company (Ebay).
Then you can start acting like a massive asshole while throwing money at everything.
Unfortunately, Spez doesn't realize steps 1-10 exist, and thinks he can just treat everyone like shit and have people think (at least for a while) that he's a genius. Also forgets about steps 11-200 which is to surround yourself with brilliant people that can build your shit so you become more rich. Then you can become the asshole everyone hates.
Sadly Spez is on step 200+ without the cash from steps 1-199 and has surrounded himself by "yes men" instead of brilliant people that know what the fuck they are doing, which leads him to build whatever next big think like Twitter was will be.
You forgot step 0... Have parents who own an emerald mine so you have money to play with and do what you want
I was going to include that, however in my literal minute of searching him, I couldn't find a verified source. I will admit, I didn't try
very hardat all so I may have just overlooked it.But yes, he needs step 0 as well!
Does Elon Musk count as a verified source?
JC: How do you handle fear?
EM: Company death – not succeeding with the company – causes me a lot more stress than physical danger. But I’ve been in physical danger before. The funny thing is I’ve not actually been that nervous. In South Africa, my father had a private plane we’d fly in incredibly dangerous weather and barely make it back. This is going to sound slightly crazy, but my father also had a share in an Emerald mine in Zambia. I was 15 and really wanted to go with him but didn’t realize how dangerous it was. I couldn’t find my passport so I ended up grabbing my brother’s – which turned out to be six months overdue! So we had this planeload of contraband and an overdue passport from another person. There were AK-47s all over the place and I’m thinking, “Man, this could really go bad.”
I have doubts about his judge of character. If he had any part of the hiring process for Reddit's mobile or video dev teams then he needs a reality check.
