I agree that these other individuals played an important role in our lives. But Musk didn't invent the electric car.

Additionally, these other men didn't amass huge fortunes on the back of taxpayers. I'm not sure if they paid their taxes.

My issue isn't with Musk as a visionary. My issue is that Tesla was largely financed (indirectly) by the US government. That does not reflect free markets.

Thanks for your responses. It seems that we agree on certain aspects and disagree on others.
