>It's this idea because you did something similar well, that your ability should port to "things like it." Except that Elon Musk has: Completely disrupted online payments Completely disrupted space travel Completely disrupted automobiles. It wouldn't matter if SpaceX and Tesla disappeared at this moment. The history books would still be written about how Tesla and SpaceX were the things that instigated the change.

He also did zip2 (to fund x.com which he sold and became paypal), which was essentially one of the first online phone books / business directories.

  Copyright infringement from a purchased CD-ROM. He is good.

    I agree that zip2 was not a great accomplishment aside from making money, but it certainly wasn’t copyright infringement.

I’m pretty sure that Tesla investors with lots of money on the line invested in a car company, not Elon Musk’s hagiography.

Musk was one of many founders of PayPal. SpaceX is actually run by Gwynne Shotwell.
