为什么大家总是在挑剔埃隆-马斯克？

为什么大家总是在挑剔埃隆-马斯克？

在澳大利亚，我们称之为 "高大的罂粟花综合症"。

当一个人凌驾于人群之上时，他们会自动成为那些不喜欢被超越的人的目标。

埃隆-马斯克在自闭症谱系上，他的阿斯伯格综合症虽然没有妨碍他强大的智力，但确实使他的社会交往变得困难。

因此，在这里，我们有一个令人难以置信的高成就者，他似乎很难说出他的意图和动机是什么，在他制定一个问题的答案时，经常会停顿很长一段时间，似乎是不正常的。

有人会认为这是两面派的迹象，这有什么好奇怪的？

毕竟，一个拥有巨额财富的人真正想做好事的可能性有多大？

我仍然认为令人费解的是，他最强烈的诋毁者似乎仍然能够无视他的所有成就，或者更糟糕的是，把它们描绘成某种长达数十年的骗局，诱使我们陷入一种虚假的安全感。

当然，这只是指那些决定不喜欢马斯克的普通人。

还有一些人有反对他的专业理由，那是因为他打乱了他们精心建立的运钞车。

这就是你在创造几个转型行业时所付出的代价。

不高兴的富人可以产生令人难以置信的虚假信息，并播下大量不信任的种子，正如对石油行业的快速观察将充分说明这一点。

Why is Elon Musk targeted so much?

Why is everyone always picking on Elon Musk?

In Australia we call it “tall poppy syndrome”. When an individual rises above the pack, they automatically become a target for disgruntled people who don’t like to feel outdone.

Elon Musk is on the autism spectrum, and his Aspergers Syndrome, although not impeding his formidable intelligence, does make social interactions difficult for him. So here we have an incredibly high achiever who seems to have difficulty vocalising what his intentions and motivations are, often pausing for what seems inordinately long periods of time as he formulates an answer to a question.

Is it any surprise that some will take this as signs of duplicity? After all, what’s the likelihood that a giga-rich individual actually wants to do good things? I still find it puzzling that his most vehement detractors still seem capable of either ignoring all his achievements, or even worse, paint them as some sort of decades long con job that has lured us into a false sense of security.

Of course, this only refers to the general population that decide that they don’t like Musk. There are the others who have a professional reason to oppose him, and that’s because he is upsetting their carefully established gravy trains. This is the price you pay when you create several transformative industries. Upset rich people can generate an incredible amount of disinformation and seed a lot of distrust, as a quick look at the petroleum industry will richly illustrate.
