Hence the term “businessman”, you know business, not technological advances.

And regardless I made no claim that any of those other things aren’t important, so feel free to knock down your own strawman.

It's just scary that so many people that find such "businessman" something to admire.

That latching onto smart people and ousting them out of their own achievements and replacing with yourself in public imagination is something to admire.

People make a simple statement "Musk is the most successful businessman" and you think you know their internal thought process and are ready to condemn them.

Your own bias is showing.

This simple statement shows that either they don't understand what kind of "businessman" Musk is exactly or they know but they don't care about it. He's the most successful grifter. Most successful conman. Those are simple statementd too. I condemn people who say those in honest admiration. I also condemn those ignorant of what means to be the kind of businessman Musk is while praising him.

It sounds like your entire point is "stop liking things I don't like". The very fact you say "I condemn people who say those in honest admiration" shows this is more about you than the person who made the comment.

You've provided zero evidence to back of your claims of "grifter" (whatever that is).

It's not hard. Businessmen run businesses. Musk runs many and in a very successful way. You're entitled to your own opinions, but that's what they are - nothing more than your opinions.
