    As much as I hate Musk, I doubt something that ambitious would be tried without him or someone like him. Same with starting a fully EV car company when everyone thought we were just but ready for it. Yes the engineers are the ones who do the work, but it takes someone willing to risk a lot of money, and the ability to bring in more money, to make that stuff happen.

        He bought a small dying company and turned it into the most valuable one they ever existed. He made the Tesla we know today.

      He didnt start a fully EV car company, HE BOUGHT ONE.

      Quit holding people on high regard based on their cult of personality.

        He made the Tesla we know today, the Tesla we know today would not have existed without Musk, it likely would have died a small silicon valley startup that nobody had ever heard of.

        Just because I hate him doesn’t mean I won’t give him credit for doing what he did.
