Do you have any specific examples of his genius that allowed him to defy the giant competitors? Or maybe the existing / new Tesla folks did a lot of the work, like the founders that were ousted by him, but didn’t really get the credit, because Musk wants to be seen as this genius Tony Stark type of inventor. And dont you think being at the right time and place had something to do with with Teslas initial success, ie the other car manufacturers didn’t really focus or push EVs and Musk had a good marketing idea to place EVs as one solution to combat climate change (yet he actively tried to derail a high speed rail project, which tells me he doesn’t really care about climate change). When I hear the word genius… I think of Einstein, Newton or Hawking… ppl who use their creative mind and imagination to introduce something completely new and paradigm shifting to the world. I don’t think that’s what he has done. He used his money to invest in existing ideas and help accelerate them, by using his audience building and marketing skills… so yes he deserves credit for that. But I would like to be proven wrong, hence why I’d like to know about concrete examples which you think classify Elon as a genius.
