4. Ruthlessness

Watching both Zuckerberg's and Elon's pathy to being super rich, they were and are both the most ruthless business people imagineable. Zuckerberg screwed over everyone he did business with early and he was monetizing Facebook in ways people had no idea were possible. Musk latches onto other people's ideas and steals them from them, then he pushes them out entrely and has a talent for knowing when he has the leverage to take it all. They've both spent lifetimes stepping on other people and having zero ethics when it comes to business. It's not something to be admired.

And the idea that Musk is any kind of engineer is laughable, he's not. Zuckerberg could code some, but it's neer been like he was a whiz kid programmer. He saw an opportunity before other people did and he used others to get control of Facebook.

Musk is the king of riding in and stealing ideas. He had nothing to do with devloping any technology he has stolen. Not Paylpal, not EVs, not anything else Tesla did, and he has zero to do with what goes on at SpaceX.
