It would basically take an afternoon for you to come up with one and practice it enough to use it. That's how I got mine as a child. It doesn't have to be cursive, it doesn't even have to be your name, and it's not hard at all to do

I don't care what most people's looks like, but if you're going to have it appear on people's paychecks or official documents seen by the public?

I think in that case, it does reflect on you as a person. It's like showing up to the store in boxers and a stained wife beater... It's legal, and I don't care if you dress strangely or even go naked in your own home, but people should have enough respect for themselves to at least wear athletic shorts in public. Or throw on a bathrobe or something

It's a very very low bar, but if you can't meet even that it's a cause for genuine concern about your well being. Everyone should have some level of dignity as a person

I dunno, if I was the richest man in the world and also was signing documents potentially billions of people could see, I might take 2 minutes to practice first.

Mine has style. It's not fancy or intricate, but it's a nice mix of sharp and curving lines for the prominent characters that can be read if you already know what it says, and I can fire it off in about two seconds with a nice rasping sound

I learned cursive very briefly when I learned handwriting, but I've never really used it. I still can barely read it. I spent a little time in grade school coming up with it with some good suggestions from my older sister (since it didn't have much style in real cursive), but it's not like I put very much effort into it. I just decided one day if people were going to make me sign my name on things, I didn't want it to look terrible. And for reference, my handwriting is shit, barely readable to the average person

Literally anyone can do it. It doesn't have to be cursive, it doesn't have to be readable, I once knew someone illiterate who just neatly printed out their name all caps. There's no rules to it, it doesn't even have to be cursive, it doesn't even have to spell your name, it's entirely a matter of style

All of these examples, including my first attempts at my own as an actual child, were better than Elon's.

You could do it right now. Take half a day picking out a style, you could look at fonts for reference, fill just a couple pages to practice, and you're done. Hell, you could hire someone on fiver to design it for you if you wanted. Either way, it'll naturally become easy and faster as you use it

For most people, it really doesn't matter that much, I wouldn't comment if the average person didn't have a good one. But if I were going to be a CEO or politician, where other people might actually see it? Where it's going to end up on people's paychecks? I'd go back to the drawing board and put a little more than an afternoon into it. It's just a matter of dignity
