Dude, Musk built Zip2 with $2000 of his dad's money.
And Zip2's board of directors fired him as CEO of the company. Don't forget that little bit of information....

Then Musk invested that into another company that would become PayPal
And he was kicked off the management team of PayPal while he was on his honeymoon.

And don't forget Musk developed the world's first external combustion engine with Tesla.

For every business failing you could point out in Musk, two could be pointed out for Trump.

Musk wanted to toss unix and go to windows. The board disagreed. Smart people disagree sometimes. He didn't run the company into the ground. There's a difference between business failure and going in a different direction.

Weird how you think being fired is the relevant datum here and not, say, the % change in valuation before and after his leadership.
