25. Elon is a dickhead, but it's disingenuous to say he failed all the way to being worth 350B.

Don’t like the guy at all, but millions of people started with his resources and he still came in first. It takes an insane drive as well as smarts. The smarts I can comprehend, but not the drive. I like to disconnect once in a while myself. He is always on all the time.

Making those things successful is still nontrivial. Those other inventors could have easily bankrupted themselves before being successful.

It’s a legit skill to make all that stuff happen and to pick and choose where to invest your resources so the geniuses who implement can succeed.

This is where he is quite different from tr$&p who needs to commit fraud or enact mobster mentality to “win.” Still a monumental dickhead. (Sorry still need some work perfecting my French).
