This is exactly right. Musk is the Edison of the current era, and I mean that in all the worst ways possible.

He's just another trust fund schmuck with enough sense to pay someone smarter than him to do all the actual inventive shit, like Edison did (especially, but not exclusively to Nikola Tesla).

IMO, it's blasphemous that he owns a company named after Nikola Tesla.

    Edison actually did some electrical engineering. He's not even as good as Edison.

    I'm sure Edison did some good things, but I did say that I meant my comment in all the worst ways.

    You can omit anything "good" that Edison did from my comparison, including any actual electrical engineering.
