Yes, his track record shows he is. He was able to create a brand for himself that made him the richest man alive.

I don’t think I can think of a better metric.

While it’s true that half of the world thinks he’s a shithat the other half thinks the man thinks this man embodies some kind of good.

I fell for it to, back in 2016 I thought the man was going to do great things for humanity

We all have experience with buying a premium product and thinking “wow, that’s nice” just like we’ve all had the experience where we bought the cheapest option and though “this is pretty good”.

The rule is as follows: “it depends”.

It’s just that our monkey brains don’t like those kinds of generalization.

That could just as well be the reasons those banks want those companies to have an inflated value.

If those companies lose much value there will be a lot of mess and no one involved is going to get richer of it.

These days a CEO is pretty much someone that markets a company towards the shareholders. Elon is a pretty good marketeer.

As a European: I was asked to play wagon wheel for a small party recently. . I didn’t know the song and I learned that would’ve been pretty unlikely in the USA.
