Thank you for putting words into my mouth that I didn't say. Especially when they're quite literally the opposite of my message.

Although, given that I pointed out that Elon literally did the exact same thing, why do you trust him when he does it? Or is it simply that you're unaware that he does stuff like that?

His companies have made many monumental engineering achievements at his direction.

His companies making those achievements is not the same as he personally making those achievements. He does have some talent in being a CEO of a company and inspiring employees and investors.

But also don't oversell that: only Tesla and SpaceX have been successes, and he's had to have them bail out is other failed companies: SolarCity, Twitter, and xAI. The Boring Company also doesn't seem to be particularly successful either, and he never got around to building a company to build Hyperloop in the first place.

		The Boring Company is profitable. > His companies making those achievements is not the same as he personally making those achievements. Those achievements wouldn't have happened without him. > He does have some talent in being a CEO of a company and inspiring employees and investors. SpaceX employees are top shelf engineers and scientists. Being able to do that makes Musk a great CEO. Can you name any other CEO who has been able to do anything like what Musk's companies do?
