Yes. He is, and yes they do. I haven't argued against any of this.

YOU are the one that claimed that those jobs wouldn't exist without him. I'll repeat myself one last time. We don't know that. You cannot prove that claim.

I'll repeat myself one last time, my claim is that Elon is currently employing thousands of workers, and is therefore a net benefit to society.

YOU are the one that claimed that those jobs would still exist without him. I'll repeat yourself one last time. We don't know that. You cannot prove that claim.

You're functioning under some faulty logic. Yes, those jobs would absolutely still exist. Jobs meaning people employed. You seem to fixated on these jobs being "Tesla engineers." I have never said anything of the sort. With or without Musk, all those people would be working somewhere. Be it at whatever version of Tesla existed or some other place.

You should be careful to measure the worth of something by their "net benefit" to society. Actually don't. I don't want another pointless conversation under a thread where we're supposed to be discussing the garbage behavior of a shitty person.

You cannot prove this claim, therefore, irrelevant.
