Is there a woman, even a woman in history, that is the equal of Elon Musk in terms of accomplishment?

  In terms of inspirational leaders Joan of Arc comes to mind.

    She basically played handmaiden to the birth of modern France and her full frontal assault military tactics are still in use by France today, from what I gather. I think it could be argued that trumps being a captain of industry. She did all that before about the age of 21, then was executed at around the age of 21.

  In terms of hype? Kim K will destroy Elon in head to head.

Yes, what if a female CEO had founded the first private space launch company and had made it into the world's most successful and revolutionary, and had brought a small electric cars company to huge worldwide success and astronomic stock market valuations. What if she had spent days and nights at the factory, working 140-hours weeks for months, never taking holidays longer than a week in the last ten years? Then, would we pardon her an emotional interview and a few tears? I'm completely, absolutely sure we would.

  What's the reason for the downvotes and the flagging? All I've said is that people are judged for what they do, not for displays of emotions or tears. If Lisa Su, CEO of AMD, gave an emotional interview saying it's been a lot of hard work to get the company where it is- do you think that the shares of AMD would have as much as a blip? No way, she's doing a fantastic job, nobody would give a damn about her display of emotions.

What if a man acted like Sarah Jeong? Both are Feminist bs at its finest. Welcome to the new feminist version of "equality".
