This makes me sad. No one’s perfect but I've never met anyone who goes through more personal pain to fight for an inspiring future for humanity - and has done so tirelessly for decades. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but mine is that there’s no one I respect and admire more

He's a fraud who peddles dreams of the future while passing off others' ideas as his own

Look at the history every idea he's floated, they've all been around for quite some time, but were never implemented due to impracticality. eg landing & reusing rockets had been studied extensively, but always shown to be more expensive than expendable. Hyperloop = Vactrain etc..
Launch industry didn't think landing rockets was impossible, they didn't do it because it would make launches more expensive. So when Musk has SpaceX incarcerate investor capital to land rockets, that's a bad thing b/c that capital could have been invested elsewhere.

Yeah!🙄
See the thing is he put the ideas to use. He made landing and reusing rockets bot viable and practical. He’s made electric car viable and practicable, as well as profitable. He may be using other people’s ideas, but he has also developed them and made them applicable to reality.

So a high-achiever prefers to risk his wealth and pour his energy into wildly ambitious ventures, that generally advance humanity towards a better future, but you're annoyed that his work isn't totally original? Has anything he's accomplished negatively impacted you somehow?

Nothing Musk has done has advanced humanity. He has achieved nothing of value to humanity at all.
Elon Musk is a failure. Accept it, and move on
