Thanks again, @valued-customer, for your response :-) However, we'll have to agree to disagree here. I have no doubt he works 100 hours a week, for I've read and heard many complaints from people that work for him that amount to him demanding the same work-ethic from them. But hard work don't make an honest or good person and yes, I believe he's your typical billionaire in that sense. He did not make PayPal, he made X.com that merged with Peter Thiel's Confinity, and after some months Musk was ousted as CEO, taking with him 100 million dollar from his share of the company that would later be known as PayPal. The programmers couldn't use even one line of code written by Musk because it was a mess. With the money from his shares in PayPal he then invested 6.5 million in the fledgling Tesla, which was founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, so he didn't make that either and the way he got rid of the original founders was not elegant, to say the least. He promised self-driving electrical trucks in 2017 with the words: "if you order now, you can have your own in two years!" We're now 5 year later and there's nothing about these trucks. His Boring Company would create underground highways... I could go on and on, but this man is a breathing living billboard of broken promises. His Solar company is also bought, at a moment that company was on the edge of bankruptcy. He "saved" the company by investing money from Tesla, which earned him lawsuits from angry Tesla shareholders; he's still fighting in the courts, but will probably eventually settle out of court. SpaceX is the only company I know of that's founded by himself. Neuralink? Five of the nine original founders left because of Musk's unrealistic promo-talk. He may not be in the Klaus Schwab sorority, but he wouldn't stand out if he was.
