Musk got to #1 in the Forbes 400 by saying things to people on twitter and becoming a techno-utopian cult figure

This is like Kim Kardashian buying E! to make sure they can never cancel "Keeping up with the Kardashians".

Musk wants to keep rolling his promises into the future in order to avoid people asking them about practical and tangible results in the present, as they have been underwhelming to say the least when compared to the financial bubble he managed to inflate.

"Musk got to #1 in the Forbes 400 by saying things to people on twitter "

And funding armies of bots to say nice things about him and his companies... which is an interesting juxtaposition to any free speech agreement. In it's purest form banning bots, fake posts, etc. could be categorized as limiting speech.

You think some tweets did that as opposed to transforming the car and space industries?

Every verb it's always about "-ing" with Musk supporters....never "-ed".

You can shake Gates or Bezos hand and say to them that they transform-ed the software and online retail business respectively.

Tesla cars accounts for like 1% of the total vehicles sales occourred globally in 2021.

I remind you Musk has been at the helm of Tesla since 2002, that's 20 years. 1% in 20 years, that's hardly transform-ing either.

The only word which makes sense when talking about Musk (if you want to cut him some serious slack) is "aspirational".
