Ask yourself this, would spacex or tesla exist if Elon Musk weren't here?



Not OP, but he's not saying Elon doesn't deserve credit, he's just saying he doesn't deserve all the credit. The quote makes it sounds like Elon himself build everything alone, rather than being a successful leader, as well innovator.


To be fair, Tesla existed before Elon took over it.


It's similar in concept to comparing Starbucks before and after Schultz. The before and after companies have practically nothing in common.


Ask yourself this. Would Elon Musk be here if there was no...business opportunity?

Now you know your true lord to bow down...


no ask yourself THIS: would elon musk have done any of this if he were married?
