I'm not envious of his success at all because I'm in an entirely different line of work. The people whose success I envy have lives that look nothing like Elon's. He's a pathetic do-nothing lolcow that I laugh at for his readily-apparent incompetence and life that is buoyed entirely off of the slavish fellatio of people like (You).

Do you know how Steve Jobs built the first stage of Apple? He cajoled Stephen Wozniak, an infinitely more intelligent and skilled individual than he, into building phone bypass systems that let you build calls for free, and then into building the Apple I.
Musk did the same thing, several times. He cajoled infinitely more intelligent and skilled programmers into starting multiple businesses with him (while contributing negative productivity on the programming front), sold them in an era of speculation where the height of investment genius was slamming your retirement into a sock puppet with a microphone advertising the ability to buy dog food and catshit scoops from your computer, and did the Venture Capital thing of throwing your investment around and getting returns. Bonus meme: the most famous company he sold that gave him a ton of money, PayPal, wasn't even his. He made X.com with a buddy and convinced Confinity to merge with them to create PayPal. That second company was pissed as fuck when it turned out X.com was useless spaghetti.
You're talking as if Musk is in the rocket lab assembling Falcon Heavy himself or drawing up plans to hand to Panasonic (LOL) so they can build """his""" battery design.
You know who else is rich? Midwits just smart enough to understand how crypto works but too dumb to realize it has no intrinsic use that yolo'd on Bitcoin circa 2010 and/or Etherium 2016. Being rich has had fuckall to do with intelligence for decades, unless you want to convince me that inbred European monarchs were the pinnacles of their kind.
