Musk has invented nothing. He buys up companies and passes them off as his creations. He's a narcissist who has driven good companies into the ground and survives on government contracts. He's the very definition of a parasite.

I couldn't disagree more with the comment that he makes companies worse. Every company he is involved with is a huge success. Tesla, SpaceX, PayPal, OpenAI, etc. That comment couldn't be more wrong.
