>but they would not do anything of this magnitude if it wasn’t for Elon’s vision and leadership. Isn’t that obvious?

It would be just as correct to say that Elon Musk's vision wouldn't go anywhere without his employees' vision and talents, many of which likely exceed his own in terms of technical or intellectual skill.

Obviously, he has his place, and credit where credit is due, but I think we've gotten a bit too obsessed with the cult of personality and "great man" model of thinking that creeps into history, business and science.

But he made it happen (commented before you edited yours).

People are hating on Tesla because they don’t like Elon. A company that will literally benefit everyone, directly or indirectly.

It’s a human flaw, it seems.

No, he paid people to make it happen, who made it happen. He doesn't deserve more credit than his employees.

Nobody is saying he deserves more than the employees. You brought them to the conversation. He deserves a lot of credit, that’s all.
