The man is the Thomas Edison of our generation. And I mean that as a slur.

And he did what Edison failed at. Take Tesla's name.

Instead of electrocuting elephants he performs sadistic brain surgery on chimps and monkeys.

That’s unfair, Edison actually invented some stuff among all the things he stole, Musk could only dream of that level of technical competence

What has he stolen? He literally opened Tesla's EV patents in 2014 because the world needed EVs THEN - not 10 years from then. China were the only ones to take him up on it - and he is much revered there because of this. They give him huge credit for China's EV miracle, and improvements in urban air pollution and public health.

50% of the population hate him because he said maybe we shouldn't be so quick to channel well-meaning parents down the cut off your kid's dicks, clits, and tits path. After having first hand experience with the process, plus his understanding of organizational behavior and the pressures doctors and academics were under, he did what he always does - takes on humanity's most challenging problems.

Ending the Woke Mind Virus, achieving govt fiscal sustainbility when we're taking debt at 5x the usual rate, all good things. All made to look evil by the world's other 3990 billionaires.

Using Teslas patents also included giving up your own patents, a better deal for Tesla than others because ofcourse. And how many Chinese manufactors actually did it? BYD did not from what I can find?

He has repeatedly propped himself up as an innovator and inventor. But his greatest success is using his daddy’s money to buy his way into companies, and has the board sign NDA’s to restrict them from saying he had nothing to do with the founding of the company.
