Marco Rubio. As per my last point, I don't know if Musk's "moonshots" will actually pan out. His businesses certainly are taking credit for just about everythi

  Thanks for the info on Rubio, I wonder what the reason was for that. On the other stuff, my point was that a lot of his stuff has already panned out, so your point doesn't make sense to me. Sure, it remains to be seen if EVs will take over the world, and you could certainly argue that they aren't responsible for all these other manufacturers starting to build EVs, but the fact remains that they built a pretty great car, and managed to be the first successful American automotive startup in a century. It remains to be seen if SpaceX's reusability plans will pan out, let alone the crazy Mars stuff, but the expendable Falcon 9, and the landings, are already great achievements.
