Elon Musk, Kanye West, & Time magazine
When asked to write a fawning blurb of bullshit about this puffed up narcissist, Musk lowered himself and obliged .... I guess he wants to be a "Time 100 Titan" himself someday. Admit it, if you admired Musk before, you think less of him now don't you?
For the sake of our culture, it's good that no one actually reads Time, which seems to be a much less serious version of People now.
TIME 100 Titans Kanye West
By Elon Musk
Kanye West would be the first person to tell you he belongs on this list. The dude doesn’t believe in false modesty, and he shouldn’t. Kanye’s belief in himself and his incredible tenacity—he performed his first single with his jaw wired shut—got him to where he is today. And he fought for his place in the cultural pantheon with a purpose. In his debut album, over a decade ago, Kanye issued what amounted to a social critique and a call to arms (with a beat): “We rappers is role models: we rap, we don’t think.” But Kanye does think. Constantly. About everything. And he wants everybody else to do the same: to engage, question, push boundaries. Now that he’s a pop-culture juggernaut, he has the platform to achieve just that. He’s not afraid of being judged or ridiculed in the process. Kanye’s been playing the long game all along, and we’re only just beginning to see why.
Musk, an engineer and entrepreneur, is the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors
