> Elon is a fake person created by VCs to fulfill their goals.

I'm gonna give you a bucket full of benefit of doubt and assume you mean nothing negative by this. I'm all for fake people fulfilling VCs goals if that means we can have better and more exciting future (which Musk has delivered to date).

It's worth mentioning that many other "real" people with "no" hidden agendas have done ... jack shit over the past 20 years. :)

Assuming you’re sincerely asking this to learn, I suggest you ask Google, and read some Wikipedia to boot.

Ok, his rich family gave him some money to invest and got lucky with paypal. Then he became a hypeman for Tesla and routinely lied about full self driving in order to keep Tesla from bankruptcy and produced unsafe and poorly built cars. Then lied about trucks, roadsters, and solar roofs. He's speed running the history of tunnels and trains and will find out that, yes, putting independent cars in a tunnel is a dumb idea. Hyperloops? Seriously? Buying twitter blue checkmarks only to introduce another checkmark for verificaiton. Hm..Space-X is sorta futuristic? He hasn't proven reusable rockets have saved orders of magnitude of money.

It’s undeniable, no matter what you think of the character, that he created huge momentum in the transition to EVs.

Also, rockets.
