“Elon Musk never invented any of the stuff.”

He apparently invented a legal process to become the wealthiest person in the world.

You’re still an a-hole, though.

In all seriousness we are on the same team and its easier to ignore these idiots than to give them a platform.

Nicolas Tesla invented almost everything. I really think he invented free energy too. He created a Tesla Coil in Colorado that apparently allowed electricity to be generated from the ground or something. He then recreated it on the east coast but lost his financing when they realized what he was doing.It went the way of the fire proof paint, rubber that doesn’t ware out, the 100 year light bulb, the German fuel formula etc. The government actually suppresses over 200 patent applications a year for national security reasons.

We, (me included) are getting played

This is the typical progressive MO.

Remember, it is not the job of the progressive to build anything, only tear it apart.

What they are doing is projecting.

It's not even close.

Elon Musk is basically the modern version of Nicola Tesla who didn't die under mysterious circumstances only to have his life's work confiscated and then "lost" by the government while his body was still warm.

Elon and that brain, and the potential that he wields, still scares me a bit, but at least for now he is definitely on the right side of history and has firmly rooted himself in what is best for America. We are damn lucky to have him. Want proof? Imagine the "god-status" he would be given if he offered his services instead to China, Iran or Russia.

He most certainly did not start Tesla, read his book, but he did make it what it is today. A simple google search can tell you the history...

Space X is his true baby.

Outside of Zuckerberg, and maybe MLK, every single one of them would be a hell of a lot better at running DOGE.

The fact the Musk was a liberals hero before endorsing trump shows they stand for nothing.

Google "What did Leonardo Da Vinci invent?" Do a little reading and tell me if you think the inventors don't deserve a little bit of the credit for changing the world instead of giving all of the credit to snake oil salesman.

You think Da Vinci didn’t develop his market? He was commissioned by some of the wealthiest families of the Renaissance and actively worked to define his own expressions as he pushed the boundaries of his patrons’ acceptance.

If anything, you’re making my point. He was one of the most brazen voices of his time.

You’d be better off arguing a case like Van Gogh, who sold exactly 1 painting in his lifetime but now has an entire museum dedicated to him.

Thing is, his brother Theo was his primary patron and promoter, and was largely responsible for what Vincent became after his death. Again, the promoter made something memorable from the work of the artist.
