> America's business hero has become Amazon's Jeff Bezos

Is this accurate? I feel like more people look to Musk than Bezos. However, I realize I have a sheltered "internet only" view, so pardon my ignorance.

Businessman? Bezos for sure. He's the Sam Walton of our generation.

Inventor/technologist? Musk. I'd guess that most people would believe Musk if he said he was going to start building a car that ran on water.

Honestly I don't think most Americans make that distinction.

Tbh if most of the time that you talk to people they either know exactly the plausablity of what Musk is saying or they just read a headline. Most of the time it is the later but there are a lot of advocates in the former that call him out on his plans.

In my groups it's def Musk, however I can see how Bezos would do well with a business crowd since he started on Wall Street (although, not like they did).
