    The success is down to the team, not the rocket scientist alone.

    A minute ago you were saying that Elon personally flew astronauts back from the ISS. Now it’s all about the team.

    Guess who gathered, motivated and paid the team?

    Not arguing about this part.

    One doesn’t create several companies that are leader in the energy transition if they do not care about energy transition.

    One doesn’t try to get to Mars if one cares about Earth. Tesla is not environmentally optimised. Green Elon was just marketing.

    I understand all the hate Elon Musk is getting currently but pretending he did not lead several companies to great success is just bizarre.

    Lead is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Funded is a better verb. No other CEO has time to lead and tweet 70x a day.

      No, I didn’t say Elon personally flew astronauts back from the ISS, you are being pedantic because you know the bigger picture contradicts your narrative.

      I’ve given you enough elements, you’re free to keep thinking Tesla didn’t massively contribute to the energy transition if you want.

        You: Are you bringing back stranded astronauts from the ISS?

        Me: Is Elon?

        You: Yes

            If I own apple shares, am I producing Iphones. No.

            Elon is at the White House destoying the government apparatus and tweeting about it. He has absolutely no involvement in rescuing astronauts.
