I think of him more like the next John McAfee.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but McAfee must have been at least somewhat skilled in the past, no? That doesn't sound much like Musk.
I guess there is one way he could become the next McAfee...
Elon is very skilled. Some of his great skills, just off the top of my head; riding the shit out of every coat tail, failing upwards, shooting himself in his bulletproof foot, looking like a complete dweeb/asshat to most of the world almost as much as the potus, and so much more! He's truly remarkable... -ly foolish.
McAfee was a perfectly competent programmer in the 80s and 90s. I think by the time most people heard of him he had already fried the part of his brain responsible for programming with copious amounts of every drug.
I'd still take him over Musk any day.
Coming at it with next to no knowledge, but i was under the impression that McAfee was more of a self-parody. Like he was just fucking around but never actually had delusions of grandeur or anything.
Behind the Bastards did a show on him. My memory is fuzzy on the specifics, and holy shit was it complicated trying to find out the information without listening to the episode(s) again, but no, he wasn't just a silly self-parody and stepped over the line to be a piece of shit.
Allegations against him:
So yeah, it wasn't all just silly running for president while living on a boat he frequently searched for stowaway spies due to deep paranoia (combined with knowing that he'd done things to make it realistic that authorities might really be trying to get him) and making shirtless videos while heavily armed. But I did think the same as you before hearing that episode.
One only needs to watch John McAfee's uninstalling McAfee Antivirus video (NSFW) to realize how much of a legend he was.
LGR did a wonderful retrospective when he announced his candidacy for US president. Dude seriously lived life to its fullest and made tons of questionable decisions
