I made my point. Pointing to additional examples of grandiosity (some might call ambition) doesn't invalidate it. Neither do attacks on his character or lame arguments like "Tesla wasn't started by Musk" ignoring that he grew the company from 4 people to 100,000 people. Or that somehow recruiting large amounts of NASA and MIT talent is a bad thing? That's good leadership.
Seriously? Either you're trolling or you have some irrational hatred of the guy.
Oh you don't get what I mean. Yeah those things are good and I'm grateful for the progress SpaceX is making. What I want to know is how much is really attributable to Musk and what his Ego is really worth at the end of the day.
Lets remember the only reason he's around today is because some very rich people and NASA bailed him out. SpaceX left to just Musk's ability, ego and resources died in 2008.
He relies so much on mysticism for parting people from their money, eventually some people get fed up with the 'mysterious future and repeated failure' business model.
Expectations around his personal abilities should be lowered. His track record is not that great and it's a fact people call trolling. Sorry, not sorry.
The abilities that made spacex and tesla were hundreds of highly skilled engineers. Elon just raised money and is the face brand for japanese battery tech.
He's not worth worshipping and his incompetence is covered by idolatry.
Seriously? Either you're trolling or you have some irrational hatred of the guy.
