And Elon didn't really have anything to do with the success of PayPal.

He bought Tesla. He didn't actually create that company.

A lot of what is attributed to Elon Musk is pure BS.

He is great at marketing, but not the "genius inventor" that many seem to think that he is.

These people are really good entrepreneurs who had a lot of luck on their side, but they are also severely overhyped.

Aww c'mon. He bought a fledgling company, and has CREATED Tesla as the world leading force it is. As well as SpaceX.

Credit where credit is due.

Are you saying all you need to do is create a company and that equals success and a good product?

Because damn some people in silicon valley want a word, you know something they don't.

Before PayPal Elon coded his first product zip2 however spagetti code it might be. He made his fortune with his own talent unlike Steve. If Woz had not met Steve, no way apple would have formed. Try stopping Elon
