While this is certainly true, he has also built the most agile company culture and lead those to several achievements previously labeled „impossible“:
-Landing rockets
-EVs that are better than any gas car
-Self Driving in 90% of situations with no premapping nor lidar nor radar.
So yea, he is great at marketing and a lot he does never works out. Yet he achieved more than any single person in history, maybe except Tesla himself.

He achieved more than any single person in history.... That's the kind of cult of personality stuff that gets us to some weird dark places IMHO
Pretty big words of praise for Elon "I haven't created a single profit generating business without government help" Musk 🙃
I agree with this. Elon gets subsidies on car sales but guess what, the oil and gas industry globally gets a trillion dollars in subsidies annually. I don’t like the subsidy argument.
Elon builds good tech, and he IS an engineer. Where he goes fatally wrong though is his insistence on building on the legacy model of centralized surveillance capitalism.
yes, person cults are big evil comitted by those who fall for it. Which are many /but/ the culted person itself.
... and its pretty much always wrong! Whenever i look closer, such hyped ones proof not half as achieving as is told. (while the real John Galts dont get hyped but fought)
