While I do commend Musk's role in getting change within industries, it can't be argued that his biggest strength over the last decade has been only PR (and I mean only!). Do some digging and see how he chooses to release news bits, diversions etc and holds on to the mastermind billionaire ideal that people bestowed upon him. Any other company making false promises ("Auto"pilot), providing factually incorrect data (Model 3 "mass" production), mass firings ("performance" layoffs) would not survive in the world. Musk just dumbs down science to his cult and they swallow it up. Remind you of anyone else? (hmmmm... Trump - different audience of course but similar cult following characteristics). Tesla responding to lawsuits by former employees claiming they suffered racial discrimination and anti-LGBT threats (in The Guardian): “There is no company on earth with a better track record than Tesla.” Trump, March 2016: "Nobody knows more about trade than me." Don't think any other person/entity give out such absolute statements routinely.
