I'm in the camp that has slowly lost respect for Musk over the years via his tweeting, but it's certainly not a complete loss of respect.

I would say I've downgraded him from one of the coolest figures in engineering history to one of the coolest figures in engineering history who is also a pretty flawed person. But who isn't?

Musk didn't create PayPal. Didn't Found Tesla. Hyperloop isn't a thing...

How this guy get some much love around here is beyond me.
