The inverse doesn't work. Musk has not yet demonstrated he runs a profitable company. That's the bar which Jobs, Gates, and many other CEO's have shown which Musk has not yet shown.

You said he hasn't run a profitable company, not that he "hasn't demonstrated he's run a profitable company".

He's definitely a different kind of CEO.

He's a liar. Promises self driving every year. Not even close

Oh, you're talking about promising stuff that's not delivered? Maybe not so different from the likes of Gates and Jobs.

Of course, sometimes they did manage to deliver some of the things the promised also, like Musk.

The inflated value of Tesla as a company is mostly based on full self driving whose status Musk has continually lied about for years. Gates/Jobs did nothing of the sort.

I find this hard to believe. In fact I don't.

Net expenses exceed net revenue, their cash comes from selling stock, and profits only come from selling regulatory credits given by governments.
