The reality is that the judge is still out. Elon has been the world richest man for 6 months, Bill Gates reached the top spot in 1991, that's 30 years at #1, even with charity, divorce and antitrust lawsuit. A sociopolitical movement like the one the author is describing as Elon-mania fueled by apes doesn't last that long, it burns rather fast. Like the Beatle-mania or the British Pop Invasion. If on the other hand Elon's conglomerate manages to become the new Microsoft then you'll find him at the top of the Forbes list 30 years from now like Bill Gates. I can't fanthom how can you root against Elon Musk given his mission but haters are everywhere and if his net worth were to deflate to 50B or even 40B, he'll still be our champion.
