      I kind of doubt it. It’s been known that he’s a fraud of a coder for a while, that seems like a clear riff.

      Enough that I was really disappointed when Some More News talked about Zip2 like he was the sole founder and therefore must have been good at coding at some point.

      Btw, the guy he and his brother founded the company with died at 51.

      As a megarich techie… With the dirt on Elon’s real capabilities.

      Interesting.

        IIRC they kicked him out of PayPal because he wanted to run everything on windows instead of the Unix/Linux servers they were running on. And the reason for it was because he couldn’t figure out Linux.
