This is a take on Elon that I cannot agree with.

I get it. I know how much people want to hate him. And how much fuel he has given for that.

But he's very talented, and really puts in the work. According to people I personally know who work with him closely, he's the real deal.

Doesn't stop him from being an asshole. But you get the bad with the good.

No, Elon didn't put in a trillion dollars worth of work.

Nobody did. That's the cool thing about surplus value creation.

You can take $5 of labor, $5 of capital, and make something people will pay $20 for

Also it takes lies, cheating, and a propensity for murdering women and children, which are the coolest aspects of surplus value creation.
