Musk hardly fits the definition of an entrepreneur. Getting lucky with a couple of golden parachutes and investing in other people's ideas doesn't qualify imho.

- shanebellone 4y agoHe's executive who claims credit for others' work.

Everybody criticizing this guy seems to miss this. It doesn’t matter if he is intelligent or not—he is willing to trod with capital where others won’t. Without his investment or even lending his interest to get other to invest, most of this “others work” he takes credit for wouldn’t come to fruition because no one else wants to invest in something that takes decades for a payoff.
- PM_me_your_math 4y agoRespectfully, your opinion is wrong. Musk is an entrepreneur. He sees value and opportunity where others do not, and he ventures risk to obtain it where others do not.
