This is moving the goal post. The reply that started this chain had the following to say:
> Um, but isn't he chief rocket engineer at SpaceX for example? And are there not numerous stories and anecdotes of people working at SpaceX who say they are amazed at how good his brain is, how fast he calculates ridiculously complex equations in real time.
There's a difference between being a good business person (Elon is exceptional at marketing and execution) and a genius scientist / engineer. Elon has tried to market himself as the latter, and has a following online (mostly male and interested in tech) that believes it.
There hasn't been a groundbreaking paper, a patent or some other innovation that Elon personally contributed to that I'm aware of.

Giving the benefit of the doubt, would those contributions be considered substantial? 1 - https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Jeffrey+Bezos https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Jeffrey+Bezos https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Steve+Jobs https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Steve+Jobs https://patents.google.com/?inventor=William+H.+Gates https://patents.google.com/?inventor=William+H.+Gates https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Mark+Zuckerberg https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Mark+Zuckerberg
- mpfundstein 6y agowhat the fuck does fucking being male have to do with this?
- ctvo 6y agoI don't know. It's the demographic on social media gravitating towards Elon. If I had to guess: it's an inspirational story if you look, think and have a similar background to Elon and that demographic idolizes and sees Elon as a role model.
- mpfundstein 6y agoi just dont get why this deserves mentioning? espefially in a clearly negative way
