Off topic, but I thought this guy was supposed to be smart.
buying a (almost) bankrupt company for 44 billion does not sound "genius" but this guy ,so far, seems pretty good at making lead into gold..it will be a fun ride (unless you work at Twitter)Off topic, but I thought this guy was supposed to be smart.
Musk didn't found Tesla though, and was also removed as CEO of X.com before they became Paypal. He has been a part of influential companies, but I would not consider him a genius.Until I know for sure he is off his med's, I am with him. He founded Tesla, SpaceX. Boring Co. & X.com, the last two eventually became part of Paypal. He marches to the beat of a different drummer for sure, but he is a genius that should create, but not manage a creation.
He earned the right to be called a founder of a Tesla in a settlement to a lawsuit with one of the actual founders. Other people founded the company and had the vision, he became an early investor and board member, then later the CEO.Until I know for sure he is off his med's, I am with him. He founded Tesla, SpaceX. Boring Co. & X.com, the last two eventually became part of Paypal.

This. And both Boring and Solar were failures. SpaceX isnāt making money yet, and both it and Tesla have both avoided bankruptcy by the skin of their teeth. Heās a visionary guy and a risk taker for sure. Genius?Musk didn't found Tesla though, and was also removed as CEO of X.com before they became Paypal.

Solar was not a failure by the metric of "did Musk and his cousin make a lot of money?". LOLThis. And both Boring and Solar were failures.
