What “impossible goals”? It’s easy just to randomly fire people, act illegally and not to think of the downstream consequences. Any private CEO would have his head handed to him by handling things do ham fistedly

I edited my comment to be more clear.
As an ethnically Syrian person, Elon Musk has posted enraging racist epithets about me every single day on his Twitter. I strongly dislike him as a person for his firehose of slander against helpless refugees who aren't so privileged/fortunate as me. Look at how he is speaking towards poor Ukraine!
Despite this, his companies have without a doubt changed the world. His investments into e-banking, reusable rockets, mass market EVs, ChatGPT, Starlink, green energy, etc. sound like something from a comic book into how outsized an impact they make.

He threw money at the problem? Are you really giving him credit for ChatGPT?

Yes, he threw money to build up teams to solve hard problems. According to this Wikipedia article he was a co-chair of OpenAI when it was founded in 2015: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI#:~:text=A%20total%20of%... I'm open to being wrong on that though.

According to your citation, there was a total of $130 million invested between 10 people.
He wasn’t actually involved in any of the engineering ir decision making or putting the team together.
