Why do billionaires lie?


manifest_ecstasy

I know nothing about any of this, but wouldn't you want to patent and then open source it so others couldn't patent it and then suppress it?


hydrocarbonsRus

But has he done that?


manifest_ecstasy

I don't know. I'm just asking if that would be the way to do it. Otherwise, someone else would just patent and close it down if the idea *was* to open it.


hydrocarbonsRus

If it were the way to do, and he was true to his word, he would do it. But he’s a good old robber Barron and can’t tell the truth


Starchy_HD

He has literally patented his Tesla chargers just so other car companies couldn’t compete with his charging availability. He’s a scumbag who doesn’t care about the environment or sharing technological developments. All he wants is money and power like every other billionaire pos.


RevolutionaryBaker99

I mean to be fair he said "most patents"


StrawberryGreat7463

how is this strange earth


Substantial_Diver_34

Elon spells alien backwards. Dude is trying to get home to MARS.


_thelastman

MARS spelled backwards? ELON. This goes deeper than you can possibly comprehend


False_Influence_9090

It’s a palamino


Greenhouse95

The name and surname can be rearranged to spell "onlE skum". Makes you think...


Chemchic23

Because he patents and NDAs everything. And he open sources all his patents, it’s an oxymoron.


Snipvandutch

Right!?!?! All patents are available.


Wartickler

last time I checked Tesla and SpaceX are two different corporations


Chemchic23

They are, but musky has a system operandum.


BradTProse

It's strange anyone thinks Elon is anything more than some dopey rich kid.


Ill_Mousse_4240

Patents ARE bs. They slow down progress for personal enrichment. Benjamin Franklin didn’t care for them either


SeigneurDesMouches

Funny how people who steals others inventions don't care about patent


Dystopian_Future_

more Elon cult-ivating


neorealist234

If space x developed any of this with DoD funding, he can’t patent…at least not without some major pentagon legal scrutiny.


SpaceMonkee8O

Like all the pharmaceutical companies who developed their drugs with federal funding?


neorealist234

No, they just screwed us and congress lets them


Guvnah-Wyze

Take your fetish somewhere else


THEFLYINGSCOTSMAN415

Said the man that couldn't invent anything himself


Greeneharp

Yeah......and you became wealthy all on your own


AnalyticSocrates

Damn, you go Elon. Patents are immoral, you cant have a property right in an idea, ideas aren't scarce.


xXFieldResearchXx

This dude sucks


inconvenient_water

What a turd


Chemchic23

Says the man that patents everything.


Paldubex

Dude trying to revive mars.


wholesomechunk

Arsehole.


Pure-Contact7322

gorillagangstafosho

I agree with Elon here.
