As I recall John Galt was a reclusive rather shadowy figure who operated in the background.
Elon not so much.

Elon is more Hank Rearden than John Galt.

I mean Galt did invent a new type of motor/energy that no one could explain or duplicate. Point for Elon.

The real question is Who is Midas Milligan or Francesco D’Anconia, Eliss Wyatt, etc. need a few more before we can throw our chains off.

If Musk is Galt then the Gulch is on Mars.

Not even close. You haven't read the book if you are making this comparison.

I respect the reference but I question if you've actually read Atlas Shrugged

Who is Hank Reardon wouldn't have had the same effect.

Gault House is the 2nd or 3rd incarnation


First one had this famous shooting (made the East Coast news back then)

Union Gen. Jefferson C. Davis shoots Union Gen. William "Bull" Nelson at 1st Galt House in 1862.
