TIL! Thanks for the correction. I was aware he was an amateur coder but not that he actually built anything of value. What's funny is that he's obviously a generationally talented marketer and identifier of businesses to market, it seems like he has some weird compulsive drive to also be considered the smartest dev, and the best gamer and all this other stuff that's just not reasonable for one person to do.

Yeah, he’s been an incredible hype man for Tesla and SpaceX. He’s been great at selling the dream and getting funding. But it seems like he wants to believe the hype that he’s a real life Tony Stark. That’s no more realistic than being a real life Captain America. SpaceX and Tesla were both collaborative efforts of a lot of smart people, but it’s not good enough unless he’s the smartest of them all.
