I respect the engineers and workers actually doing the revolutionizing, not the man taking all the credit and the money.
It would be just as correct to say that Elon Musk's vision wouldn't go anywhere without his employees' vision and talents, many of which likely exceed his own in terms of technical or intellectual skill.
Obviously, he has his place, and credit where credit is due, but I think we've gotten a bit too obsessed with the cult of personality and "great man" model of thinking that creeps into history, business and science.
People are hating on Tesla because they don’t like Elon. A company that will literally benefit everyone, directly or indirectly.
It’s a human flaw, it seems.
No one has put more blood sweat and tears into Tesla than Musk.
