- effingwewt 2y agoRight, there weren't entire montages about him building them by himself. And that's just the movies, the comics went way deeper. Terrible take this time, I'm afraid.
- croes 2y agoI the movies he is pretty much building himself. With high sophisticated tools but not build by other people. Elon is literally the It-needs-to-be-pointy guy.
