Elon Musk sued the founders of Tesla for the right to be called a "Founder" of Tesla. Then he fired the founders and pretends that he's the one who innovated everything.

Elon Musk goes on for the next 10+ years to become the richest man in the world with over $100 Billion net worth. As it turns out, faking it works. Well... until you need to design a new car and the best Elon can do is make a Cybertruck.

I was all set up to say it, then you said it at the end. I do think that that luck is gonna run out soon.

Ohhh that's why that monstrosity is so hideous, Musk designed it himself? That explains it completely
