He’s P.T. Barnum

But with both Tesla and SpaceX, he is delivering a product. Government subsidized, yes, but still better than the vaporware from most hucksters.

He’s PT Barnum and Crony Capitalist.

He’s a troubling sign of our times.

I’ve lived in China and Russia. Their capitalists are the same. Their riches come from robbing tax-payers through government policy, rent-seeking and favored regulations. Of course, when government controls everything, there is hardly any other way.

Sometimes I think Musk is like Frank Lloyd Wright——WAY ahead of his time.

Yeah, but he’s P.T. Barnum with a Space Program that beating NASA.
