I had to swipe back and check the comments so unless their intention is to filter for people who already think all three are evil it's a huge distraction. I think it was a poor choice for the author because Musk and Bezos might under-deliver or deliver late sometimes, but they are not outright convicted frauds with a tendency to lie pathologically, and using that name kind of poisons the well that Bezos and Musk are in no? Holmes can't really be considered an innovator or inventor of any kind.

No disrespect but this is the sort of argument one makes when they’re trying to “win on a technicality” rather than actually convince anyone of their perspective.
