everytime someone says that to me I say.. He's the dude that landed a freakin rocket back to earth and then again! most other things he's done can be termed as ruthless execution but to attempt stuff he's doing with SpaceX requires real vision and strong faith in that vision. This is real engineering.

I do feel that his critics often lose perspective. for instance he gets a lot of heat for not ramping up M3 production as fast as promised but in the grand scheme of things I fail to see what impact that has whether EVs ramp up to a million cars a year a few quarters earlier or later. only thing that matters is tesla/spacex/etc lives to fight another day.

That said I would never invest my money in tesla stock. Its simply because I dont think its His ultimate goal to make money & that will always reflect in the decisions he make.
