Elon Musk — the world’s richest man — has built several companies, including PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX. He’s also built a close relationship with Donald Trump, president-elect of the United States. America’s next leader has appointed Musk to run the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, which is meant to slash government waste.
Nathalie Jimenez, a BBC reporter in New York, explains how Musk built his business empire and why he may have aligned with the Trump administration. She also discusses Musk’s personality traits and how they influence how he leads.
And Lily Jamali, the BBC’s North America Technology Correspondent, explains the ways Musk does and does not reflect “tech bro” stereotypes.
Musk is merely the financier of others' innovations. He does not give the actual innovators equal billing. He also gets so much $ from the American taxpayer. One is neither 'right' nor 'left' for agreeing or disagreeing with Trump's choice. And one is neither 'right' or 'left' for not wanting to use taxpayer $ to further enrich the world's richest man who got most of that wealth at the expense of the tax-payer. Remember - he got grants from the tax-payer to finance other peoples ideas and took credit for both while transforming our tax-dollars into his private profit. Sounds like a massive shell game and graft on a huge scale to me. How is pointing that out 'right' or 'left'.
