All three lead armies and risked their lives to follow the psychotic ambition that drove them. They had strategic skill, two of them had institution building chops and they were also at least adept politicians. They risked their ass, that proved their skill. Elon was born rich, got in early on some good ideas other people cooked up and sold the stock and now just thinks up nonsense that produces subpar results before getting bored and going back to sitting on finances that grow themselves.
He's done nothing, he's risked nothing he couldn't recoup and the only solidly unique decisions he's ever made were bad ones and the motivation was a bruised ego. The only reason he can play power games is he was rich, competence has nothing to do with it.
So it's not that they're better people, it's that they are more admirable people, they did something, he's done nothing. Any of you could be elon if you were just into a rich family. Look at trump, bro went bankrupt three times, does it matter? Still ends up a billionaire and president of the US. Too big to fail is a real thing, especially in America. So yeah by the definition of capitalism he isn't a loser, but his behavior had no bearing on that.
>oh but he was born in south africa!!!
apartheid, even bigger cradle than american elite, whole thing is a joke
