More business sense than Tesla. Less in the way of personal technical/scientific achievements.

He's not very popular on the internet for a variety of reasons, but I think that Edison is a better comparison. Not the first person I'd compare him to, but I'd sooner compare him to Edison than Tesla.

My point was using 'Tesla' in the same sentence as Elon Musk is ambiguous and mildly confusing in this case. I was saying the poster should have used Tesla's first name as well to remove confusion.
