cm0002The three archetypes
Elon Musk is not visionary. He is more of a “let me pretend to create this dumb convoluted thing that would not work, but seems like it might” type of asshole.
He invested heavily in EVs before everyone else. He got into working satellite internet before everyone else. He built a successful private rocket company before everyone else. How was he not a visionary?
He may have swindled and stole and kicked out orignal founders, but that’s the asshole part to a tee.
The 1800s would refute the first claim, Hughes for the second, and wasn’t starship supposed to already have landed on the moon by now? His vision is knowing a sucker when he sees one.
