To be fair he made most of his initial wealth during the dot.com psychosis...

Not saying he isn't one of the greatest businessmen in history (well... assuming he's running Twitter to the ground for shits & giggles anyway) but selling a company for hundreds of millions back in those days does not necessarily was not necessarily that different from winning the lottery (being at the right time and the right place was enough).

Tesla is pretty legit though, SpaceX too. Whatever I might think about him as a person I don't see how can someone deny that Tesla is running circles around all traditional car manufacturers.

They falsify so much, I don't know what is happening there. All I know they get lot of funding, which has happened with complete scams (everyone says it can't be a scam, until they knew it all along) and successes, and everything in between.

They delivered almost a million cars this year, I don't see how could they falsify something like that.

>They falsify so much

What do you even mean by that? Whom did Tesla scam?
