Way to downplay the significant success of one of the most prominent magnates in modern history.

This blogpost certainly doesn't make you come off as a tremendous moron.

Looks like you didn't read the first sentence.

"Elon Musk is an amazing entrepreneur but as a World Savior he is probably the World’s most OverRated."

No I read the whole thing. He has done far more than many in his position, and you are downplaying that. This type of self-gratifying, armchair criticism is precisely the thing that nobody cares to hear.

I agree he's done a lot. As an entrepreneur I think he's amazing.

As a world savior his projects aren't up to par due to unsound philosophical axioms. That's what I'm criticizing.

And I think his rampant idolization right now is unhealthy

Did you just reply with a second account?

I hope you weren't up-voting your own post with that...
