Elon Musk: How The Happy Billionaire Rocket Scientist Became A Cautionary Tale | TIME

[billtruttschel]

TWO fatal crashes in Teslas? Well clearly there's something wrong with those cars! I mean, no other car company has THAT many fatal crashes!

[EPICRAGE]

His rockets are still hot and his cars are still cool old man

[SideNote]

Shame on Media. Shame on *Time* . Your like/dislike ratio says it all.

[oscarmejia]

Yeah, lets pick on the most productive man in the world.

[tschirtz]

Seriously Time? This is "junk news" and "click bait". Exaggerating a very sensational slice of nothing. I used to buy your magazine. I'm done with that. (My first ever YouTube comment)

[highvoltagefeathers]

This is Time? Sounds like an Enquirer article read by an old guy.

[AutomatedHome]

Pathetic video. The man works tirelessly for the betterment of humanity and the media cannot wait to tear him down because he spoke out against their BS. Shame on you.

[goomgoom]

Lol the video should be how time magazibe was relevant and is now a dead newspaper that thinks it's still alive and had any influence

[bestintentions]

10 billion worth of shorts on tesla. This is a hit piece, follow the money. Scumbag Wall Street.

[nickmurray]

I will absolutely not defend Elon's actions towards Mr. Unsworth. However, I do have this to say.

Elon has never been the "darling of the media." His companies have been repeatedly shit on for YEARS by big media, who have repeatedly made his work seem like a joke. Look at the incidents of death in Tesla cars for example. Two people die while using autopilot. It should be common sense that autopilot is absolutely NOT infalliable. Anyone who thinks autopilot should just take over and effectively drive for the passengers 100% is a complete and utter idiot. There are many instances in which autopilot has saved lives and yet big media, again walking all over Musk, refuses to say anything about that, because the media is obsessed with clickbaity headlines.

Time shows itself to be like basically all the other media companies; radically full of shit and not to be trusted. The modern media speaks in half-truths to grab views and clicks. This is a sickening reflection of how entertainment has brutally ruined the news.

[KeshenMac]

What was the point of this video? Can Times stick to being a reputable news organization and report on how the world is improving for the better, to better educate the people instead of reporting on celebrities?

[MadJDMTurboBoost]

Lmfao diver insults Musk after Musk tries to help. Musk insults the diver back and all of a sudden it’s a “cautionary tale”. I think Pravda is looking like a real good idea now

[goomgoom]

Get this creepy vampire off the screen

[bostonmassacre]

Who cares he's the only person that is trying to make this world better with his technology

[michelstronguin]

“His rockets were hot and his cars used to be cool” I mean seriously Time, his rockets are the hottest in the world and only getting better, and his cars are genius and sexy. Time are on their way out and I don’t feel sorry for them.

[WamuyuGatheru]

Sorry, this is a petty video lacking perspective. What are a few personal mistakes in the face of the massive innovation?

[JoeLancaster]

"Two fatal crashes in his Tesla electic cars"

in other words, literally the safest and best record of any auto maker ever in the world.

[SanthoshSBLR]

And now TIME wants to benefit with crappy videos like this by defaming him in his hard times.

[emmanuelcarretero]

He’s really busy and stressed out, he let the diver get to him. You can’t blame the guy for being human. Not saying he should have told the diver that, but he wouldn’t have told him anything if the diver responded in a respectful manner without insulting him first.

[bluEish]

How biased can you get? You just lost all credibility.
