Musk hasn't ever been intellectually successful in anything. He's a grifter.

  He's definitely been successful as an entrepeneur. That doesn't make him an expert in physics, computing, politics, economy, etc, etc.

    > He's definitely been successful as an entrepeneur. Has he had anything to do with the "success" of his companies other than as a fundraiser, i.e., grifter? Have people forgot about his tunnel company, his solar company, the fact that he was kicked out of PayPal, someone else actually runs SpaceX, his ridiculous $40+ billion dollar purchase of Twitter, and his recent grifts to basically rid himself of the massive debt and risk of his Twitter purchase by forming pyramid companies? The dude is a joke of an entrepreneur. He is a grifter and nothing more. Grifters can be "successful", unfortunately. Further, this post is discussing intellectuals and not entrepreneurs.
