The various replies in this thread witness that there is a purely irrational response to Elon's "harsh but mildly conservative" leanings that people can't seem to be mature enough to acknowledge that he has ramped up several major international corporations in a wildly entrepreneurial manner, yet these fools are focused on "yes well technically he had subsidies and a ruby mine" as if there's some cheat code he used that no one else like Boeing or Ford had access to.
