>Elon Musk has strong parallels to Trump's appeal.

Isn't that the strangest thing? If you watch videos of Elon he is no where near as charismatic as trump.

I think it mostly stems from his success with SpaceX and earning accolades for being, "The Guy who does Impossible things". His having a car manufacturing company with an impossible share price just make sense.

I think the similarity is less their personalities, and more in their use social media for shock value and attention, and the quasi-religious devotion of many of their supporters.
