In the interest of accuracy...
His Dad was a politician and member of an anti-apartheid party.
Musk went to Canada as a young adult to avoid mandatory S. African military service, apparently because he objected to the routine employment of the military to oppress the native population.
So it seems more plausible that the guy is just on the spectrum and oblivious to some things, as opposed to giving actual nazi salutes on national TV.

Tesla was founded by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. PayPal was founded by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek. Neuralink was co-founded by Musk plus 8 other scientents. Hyperloop was piggybacked off of a 400 year old English design.
Musk will certainly have an effect on history but he didn't conceive all off these successes out of whole cloth. Most of his 'ideas' were bought or copied. Much like his salute...

You know because all this technical stuff usually has a bunch of people working on it. Coming to get, collaborating ideas, economies of scales, etc. I mean for real do you believe any of those companies^^^are just him by himself?
I bet the last great idea you had by yourself was figuring out what you were going to eat for dinner.

Im just curious bro. You fly the airbus? Do you think like one person designed it and built it all by themselves? Like all the millions of parts were tried and test by a single dude? lol.

What his dad is or was has no bearning. Escobar's dad was a peaceful farmer while he was a vilonet narco. Hard for some to aruge that Musk is a literal rocket scientist while claiming on the other hand that he's an austistic guy who doesn't know how to wave. Maybe, but not likely in my book.
