Nah. The people who put fries in bags provide a useful contribution to society.

I miss the good old days of people like Heinz. He would put his ketchup in local groceries. He would have people buy out all the competition, that way his ketchup was the only one on the shelves and he could sell at a premium price.

Correct and then how long was he CEO till they threw him out and put Peter in charge?



What does it fricking matter? He started a company that merged with another company that became PayPal.

ETA: His 1st company was Zip2 which sold to Compaq for 300 million. He started it with his brother and another guy. Elon wrote the code for Zip2.

Early comments agree, but net downvotes.
You naysayers: What have I said that’s wrong?


I downvoted because I think you are almost just as dumb for making this rant and entertaining the "argument" whatsoever.

Going to a mental institution and complaining about their viewpoints makes you an idiot.

Elon programmed a game called "Blastar" at 12 y/o and also created Pay Pal.

One year….
They were concerned because he was in the states on a student visa but never signed up for college.. and started his fintech company.. so he was here illegally… this was a concern among other things

Reminds me of the “you didn’t build that”comment Obama made a few years ago.

Yep, those are shades of Obummer’s “you didn’t build that” declaration.

These Lefties have a real hard time with anyone having great financial success in the private business realm but they don’t blink twice at political creatures getting filthy rich after a few years of “public service”.

And government doesn’t create squat…except more government.

Exactly what argument do you think I’m making in the OP?

Trump did in fact invent a magic wand to fix manufacturing jobs in his first term. Obama said so

Exactly what don't you understand about the fact that it isn't an "argument". You giving them an "argument" somewhat legitimizes their POV.

You asked why you are getting downvotes. Don't be a pussy about the answer.

It is a pointless rant.

So, let me get this straight.

You’re pissed because I am pointing out that these people are idiots?

I know Elon is a grown up kid yet it is hard for me to imagine him as an actual child. It is easier to imagine that he violently emerged from Zeus’ head fully formed.

You shouldn't have to. This is comparable to getting upset with a kid or mentally ill person.

That was my only opinion. Now my opinion is that you are also an idiot and seem like a gullible/ sensitive person.

If we eliminated this broad category, board topics would plummet by about 95%.

That's the point, his acknowledgement that his own scientific advancements were built upon the work of those who came before him.

I was pretty clear up from that it was a rant. Silly me for posting one on a discussion board with history and branding that includes…”rant”.

Now, if Chicken starts a new board that includes “a-hole”, I promise to not criticize you for posting there.

YOU asked why you were getting downvotes. I answered. Don't get bitchy just because you don't like the answer. Not helping the comment of you being sensitive.

This rant shouldn't happen because it's such an outrageous topic. For you to get worked up about it enough to rant is wild.

I'm not trying to argue with you, sorry for hurting your feelings.
