Sure, I don't deny that, but I don't think he has ever done something great on purpose. It's like if I give all of my friends 5 bucks and one of them saves a child from getting hit by a car on their way to 7-11 to buy a Slurpee with that fiver, I don't get to take credit. Elon has enough money that he can throw a lot of shit at the wall. Some of it sticks. If the Boring company had taken off, he'd still be the same small dick white supremacist he is today, he'd just have exchanged one phallic symbol for another.
