Slavish devotion to Musk? Utilitarian ethics? Grock is just the average reddit user in 2013.

I remember back in 2014 or so, I found a YT channel about companies an tech with very high production values on their videos, they had several videos on Elon and his companies.

And in just about every time they spoke about Elon, they said it like this

Entrepreneur Elon Musk

It kinda became a weird mantra they repeated as if being an Entrepreneur made him some kind of expert.

I noticed that at the time, and it has pissed me off since.

Reminds me of companies that still call themself “startup” even after several years with a successful product. Just so they can rip employees off with low base pay and unpaid overtime because “we’re a startup”.

I have worked for two of those: selling a product all over the world, almost a hundred employees, "startup."
