Fine. Let’s talk about it. Elon Musk is a genius (the above tweet being an exception). Let’s just start out by acknowledging that. The man, with the help of massive teams, has revolutionized private space travel and vehicle electrification[1]. I won’t (and don’t know if I could) quantify the impact he’s had on our progress towards a greener future, but I can tell you that it’s more than most people have done in their entire lives. As a society we should (and I believe mostly are) incredibly happy that our medium of capital allocation has allowed for such innovative ideas to blossom and is encouraging investment in his ideas. I know people get mad a Elon for being a billionaire and all, but damn, as far as those richest among us – at least he gave the world something. He’s not just some aristocrat living off the rents of fortunes long-since accumulated – he’s genuinely worked and produced to achieve it. So as a capitalist, and a fan of tech companies doing
