Musk is fiat. His wealth was inherited from his father’s emerald mine in apartheid South Africa and all his businesses have all been heavily subsidised by the government.

He turned little into far more.
Inheritance isn’t fiat. In fact it is a hallmark of sound money.
He also lives in a fiat world… just like the rest of us. Not your fault. Not mine. Not his.
He isn’t perfect. So what.
Not a fan. Space X is a contractor for the US Military and Intelligence Agencies, receiving $1.8 billion in secret US government contracts.
He did what another company was doing with less resources, less money.
He progressed an un progressing industry in one of the most difficult industries in the history of man no less.
His story is not dissimilar from the story of BTC. The US government and all of its fascistic entities, fought him every step of the way until they couldn’t win, and then they jumped on the bandwagon of utility and competence.
There are FAR WORSE actors in every industry he is in.
