> Whatever Musk's faults, it's really interesting to see people rewrite history.

Interestingly, one of Musk's faults is dishonestly rewriting history to make himself appear to be a co-founder of Tesla.




I'm not disputing that he has faults, it's just amazing how his real accomplishments get magnified or erased by dumb tweets in 2023, 10-15 years later. How many people fall for this stuff?


> How many people fall for this stuff?

And here are many of us saying the same about the people who fall for the cult of personality that surrounds this serial liar. To be fair, many of us are speaking with hindsight, as we too fell for it years ago, before his penchant for lying was laid bare.


Sure but Tesla and SpaceX objectively exist in the real world. Landing a freaking rocket booster is now routine.

It would be "cult of personality" to pretend the Musk did everything personally, obviously a lot of dedicated people contributed.. but it's just as dumb to act like he wasn't involved.
