And he's also proven himself with X, Boring, SolarCity, America PAC, PayPal etc.

Not to forget his most brilliant brain child of hyper loop. Which has already revolutionized transport and replaced cars, trains, planes and ships... Oh wait...

Paypal did very well, no? Solar City wasn't a homerun like spacex, but I wouldn't call it a failure. America PAC is not something I agree with, but again, not clear what your point about it is?

We can agree that he is an asshole and also acknowledge the fact that he has a statistically significant success rate for big engineering tasks.

a) He was fired from PayPal for his poor management and erratic behaviour.

b) SolarCity has been unquestionably a failure.

c) America PAC which handles most of the field operations for the Trump campaign has been in the news for how poorly it has been managed.
