Big names in tech have soured on Elon Musk.
And it's really interesting to see it.
I actually want to start off with Jack Dorsey, who initially had a lot of
confidence in Musk after he had decided to purchase Twitter,
which of course is Dorsey's baby.
But now with Twitter in decline, all of a sudden Jack Dorsey is changing his tone.
Now, Dorsey says that Musk was not the right person to lead Twitter and
that he should have walked away from his $44 billion deal to acquire it.
Now here's what he said verbatim.
He was asked, do you think Elon has proven to be the best possible steward for
the platform?
And that was something that a Blue Sky user asked Dorsey.
Blue sky is a relatively new social platform that Dorsey is like pushing,
he's the founder of it.
Dorsey responded, no, nor
do I think he acted right after realizing his timing was bad.
Dorsey also said that he doesn't think that Twitter's board should have forced
the sale to go through after Musk was expressing second thoughts.
Remember when Musk was saying like, well,
it looks like Twitter's lying to me about the amount of bots on the platform and
it looked like he was trying to back out of the deal.
Well, Twitter sued Elon Musk to ensure that the deal went through and
Dorsey is saying that was a bad idea.
And finally he also says it all went south, meaning Twitter.
>> Yeah, so we got more on other huge wealthy folks turning on Elon Musk.
But first on Jack Dorsey, remember though,
that he was in favor of the deal in the beginning?
>> Yeah, he was.
>> And I think if I remember correctly,
he was gonna get about a billion dollars off the deal.
Jack Dorsey was, so he was like, yeah, Elon, do it, do it all.
Elon's the light of our lives, all these flowery language
about how Elon was so good for human consciousness, etc.
And so, I don't shed a tear for Jack Dorsey at all.
Okay, so, my god.
>> I mean, why would anyone shed a tear for him?
He's not losing anything on this.
>> Yeah.
>> Who cares?
>> Yeah, and he's trying to push it to his new platform where he's gonna
make more money.
>> Which by the way, is invite only.
>> I do to glad.
Okay, anyways, >> These people are unbearable.
>> But it is indicative that, no, we're not the ones who took the crazy pill.
Even they look at it and go, yeah, he's a hot mess.
This platform is a total and utter disaster.
There's no secret genius behind the scenes,
cuz these are the guys who were saying secret genius.
They were all saying, you can't understand how brilliant Elon is.
He's the light of our lives,
he's the most genius, inexplicable genius that anybody's ever seen.
Now they're like, yeah, it turns out he's an idiot and
totally destroyed this platform like a moron.
So what happened?
>> I mean, I guess the one upside about Twitter is it
gave Elon Musk the opportunity to show his whole ass, right?
>> 100%, no truer words have ever been spoken.
>> I think that's the only upside we've seen from Twitter so far.
With that said, though,
it wasn't just Jack Dorsey who has again, soured on Elon Musk.
Someone else, the Apple co founder Steve Wozniak, in a recent interview,
talked about how he was a firm believer in Elon Musk,
especially as it pertains to electric vehicles.
But he's changed his mind quite a bit.
Let's watch.
>> I admire some things that he's done for the world, changing us towards electric
cars, but his real motivations inside is he really a purist of
trying to clean the air and all that gets shadowed by a lot of other things.
And he basically got a lot of money from myself for cars.
I believe things he said that a car would drive itself across the country by the end
of 2016.
I had to upgrade to that model.
$50,000, and then it wouldn't do anything.
I could tell it wouldn't ever make it across the country.
And he said, Here, we have a new one with eight cameras,
it'll make across the country by the end of 2017.
I actually believe those things, and it's not even close to reality.
>> It's true, everything he said there was true, sorry.
>> So, guys look, I get carried away a little bit sometimes,
so I say it turns out Elon Musk is a moron.
So let me be clear.
People are smart in some ways and not smart in other ways, right?
So there's no, like, one smart or not smart, okay?
But the reason why I'm emphasizing that today is because not that Wozniak was
a guy who was promoting Elon Musk, and
he said he doesn't even really know him, has never met him,
and he's just having an honest opinion about the over promising, etc.
But the reason I'm emphasizing all these guys saying,
when you pull back the curtain, the guy is not all that he was hyped up to be is
because people get you to believe that there are these great men in the world and
that they're just beyond you.
You can't do what they do, and that's why they deserve all the wealth in the world.
And you should never question that.
I'm here to tell you, and
now the other elites are apparently here to tell you it isn't true.
They're not some special magical beings that are unbelievably better than the rest
of us, and that's why they deserve all the money in the world, etc.
Now when you see them in action, all of a sudden, when he goes public and we don't
have the curtain to cover him anymore, as Anna pointed out, we see his whole ass.
>> Yeah, and in regard to Twitter, Wozniak had some thoughts on that.
Even though he's not active on social media, he says, well,
it's kind of bumbling.
I can't say good or bad.
I'm not really there.
And Twitter probably needs a lot of change and
revamping in most people's eyes, so we'll see.
I mean, Twitter is a social network, and I pretty much avoid the social networks.
Wozniak does seem relatively happier than most people, so
I believe him when he says he's not really on Twitter.
With that said, if you've been on Twitter,
you might have noticed that someone had posted a pirated version
of the Super Mario Bros movie, and it amassed 9.2 million views
in a very short period of time before it was taken down, okay?
So the account vids that Go Hard posted it.
Bunch of people watched it before it was finally taken down.
>> So, guys, look, mistakes happen, and
it's not the end of the world if it happens once or twice in a platform.
So I'm not the one to judge.
But having said that, the reason why that's important is because
Elon Musk created this fancy when he came into Twitter that
you could fire two thirds of your employees and that it wouldn't matter.
Well, it's a fantasy, it's ridiculous.
And by the way, very anti worker, and most importantly, just not true.
So it turns out if you fire two thirds of your employees,
your product becomes super glitchy, and then, oops, somebody put some movie,
you don't even notice it, next to million people watch it.
Could the studio sue him over that?
They certainly could, right?
I mean, that costs them a ton of money.
How many other wheels are gonna fall off of Twitter and
Tesla before we go, are we sure the guy's a genius?
