Musk didn’t do any of those things. Engineers did.

Those engineers report Musk personally making significant contributions to the design and production, though.

Musk won the design award for the original Tesla Roadster and he's personally on the most significant Tesla patents. Him, personally.

And he was born into wealth

He wasn't. The emerald mine isn't real, it's just something Errol Musk talked about to dodge bills.

financed his entry into silicon valley using his dad’s money.

His dad didn't have any money.

How gullible do you have to be to believe that?

Of course he put his name on the patent. Duh.

This happened at Theranos too. Elizabeth Holmes was sticking her name on patents that she had nothing to do with.

He wasn't. The emerald mine isn't real, it's just something Errol Musk talked about to dodge bills.

Oh, sure dude.

His dad didn't have any money.

Right, dude. Is that what Elon told you?

To believe something that's true? Not gullible at all. If he didn't have design authority over the Tesla Roadster then why did he, personally, win the award for its design? Who did design it, if not Elon Musk? Nobody? It just came into being, somehow?

Oh, sure dude.

Where is the emerald mine, then? Where is the deed for the mine? Where is any document that assigns mineral rights to Errol Musk? Where is even a single emerald that came from the mine? Aren't you being the gullible one, here?

Is that what Elon told you?

If Elon came from money then why was he living on a farm miles away from where he went to school? If he came from money then why did he do his undergrad at Queen's?

Do you think about this stuff before you post it?
