Elon Musk is Right: He is presently the richest man in the world. He may also be the smartest.

I don't know of one auto company CEO who knows how to change the ballasts in a fluorescent light.

Why bother. All the flourescents have been replaced by LED. No ballast needed. I tried to buy a simple, 4ft. flourescent shop light last week...no way, no how. Though, your point is still valid.

“You’re deeply entranced by the mythology constructed around him. Unfortunately.”

Paypal is mythology? Testla is mythology? X is mythology? And above all, Space X is mythology, and NASA is dumb enough, entranced, to contract for Space X services?

Musk has nothing at all to do with all that, and everyone on earth, except little ole you, is stupid enough to go along with it and make him the richest man on earth?

Let me guess, you think using the term mythology makes you an intellectual.

You must have mayonaise for brains.

By the way, how many companies have you started? Are you a multi-billionaire? What have you accomplished that enables you to so easily discount the accomplishments of Musk?

Pssst - no one changes ballasts in fluorescent lights any more. That’s as anachronistic as saying you’re going to tape something.

You’d replace that ballasted fixture with LEDs.

That any of them were of Musk origins and vision, yes.

Get your snout out of your comics and study up on the real world!

He is certainly the most capable business man in America.

His primary talent seems to be gathering about himself the best and brightest and most capable people America has to offer

>>If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

Good advice.

Anonymous trolling on the internet is the same as owning and running and growing multiple, multi-billion dollar companies in some (feeble minded) peoples heads these days.

Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.

By claiming “Deep State Fraud” you tell the world your mind doesn’t function beyond the extremely narrow views expressed in Free Republic discourse orthodoxy.

The world can correctly assume that you have actually accomplished little or nothing in your narrowly restricted world.

Certainly Lurker is convinced of it.

Comic books?? You can’t even come up with your own insults.

Real world???

The real world contains Space X, X, Tesla, etc., and Musk just started a technology college in Texas. Yep, those are all just myths.

You need help.

Pssst, you missed the point. Here, I'll rephrase that:

I don't know of one auto company CEO who knows how to fix the hydraulics in a 20 ton body stamping press, that's up to the millwrights who work for them.

No, I got your point, don’t disagree. Just found the example amusingly anachronistic.

“Wendy’s is implementing AI powered by Google to take customers’ drive-thru orders”

True story: When we were about to send our oldest son off to college, we were nervous about “letting go”. We knew he could take care of himself, but we had raised him for 18 years, and he was going to be hundreds of miles away...

Visiting the campus and meeting advisors, etc. made us feel better, but as we were leaving town we stopped at Wendy’s. Of the four orders we placed in the drive-through, ALL FOUR WERE CORRECT. I felt better. I told him, they even have competent people working fast food in this town...
