Elon is a great salesman posing as a genius scientist. His accomplishment is tricking government into giving him money till he could assemble enough real scientists and engineers to build what he’s hyping. I will say he is better so far than all the other tech moguls because he has mostly kept his mouth shut about politics and religion.
Yeah, he's tricked the gov't into saving money on space access, and will continue to do so, while erstwhile Democrat Alabama politicians are porking everyone with their pork barrel politics.
Elon’s greatest technical innovation has been eliminating the smokestack from coal powered automobiles.
