> I always wonder how people say Musk is a failure with a straight face. If that's failure, I wonder what would be a success!

Business is about improving the quality of life of the consumer.

Musk never went directly at that, he always involved himself in industries whose main customer is Government, or that would not exist without Government.

Apple, Microsoft, Google, Walmart, JPM...those are real businesses, which would thrive even if Govt. expense were to plummet at 5% of GDP (actually they'd do much better).

If Govt. expense were to plummet at 5% of GDP all the functional companies which Musk has would go belly up, not to mention the scam ones such as the NeuraLink and Boring.
