Not the strongest argument. Musk is not a scientist, would be much better to historical compare capitalistic businessman. Like Rockefeller, Howard Hughes etc…. Plus most of your historical examples had no political, nor economic power. And Einstein and Tesla even apposed the fascist leaders of their times.

💯 about your political point. James is blind to the international fascist image Elon has self-generated. He could also be compared more to Carnegie, Vanderbilt, etc. who were amazing, but also considered Robber Barons. There’s a great Harvard Business School case study that talks about how Vanderbilt took over the Panama Canal. I’m not saying Elon is quite like that, but he’s certainly ruthless.

Very enlightening substack and post. Thank you, James.
