People have a long history of doubting Elon's ventures and capabilities, and more recently, hating him feverishly for political reasons.

But there's a reason he holds the spot of #1 richest man in the world, and it's more than just well-written compensation packages.

He's delivered, and delivered big, over and over again.

That said, I'm not sure what your comment "Grok and twitter, not so much" means.

Do you find Jensen Huang (Founder & CEO of nVidia's) opinion credible?

Here's what Huang said about xAI/Grok:
“xAI did in 19 days what everyone else needs one year to accomplish. That is superhuman… there’s only one person in the world who could do that. Elon is singular in his understanding of engineering and construction and large systems.”

xAI came out of nowhere, years behind every other company with AI models, and not only caught up in record time but has already surpassed the top 3 companies with leading AI models in some measurable respects.

On Twitter/X, while the purchase of it still appears on paper to have been a terrible decision monetarily, primarily due to the mass advertiser exodus for controversial reasons, the product is doing quite well now.

Estimated number of X users has grown +20-35% in 3 years since purchase, and that growth % should not be understated - that's +110 to +160 million new users. And X is operating more smoothly with more capabilities than it did before purchase.

This, despite the number of employees being cut from 7,500 to around 1,500-2,000. (a nearly 80% reduction). That level of efficiency improvement alone is borderline miraculous. How many companies could slash employee count by 80% and see virtually no functional user experience impact from it?

Disclosure: I have no stake in any of Elon's companies. But I do admire what he's accomplished and the noble goals he's at least espoused to be pursuing.

He's the richest man in the world, but he reportedly lives below the poverty line.

He could be lounging on his own private island soaking in his wealth, but instead he invests nearly every penny of his fortune into his companies in the pursuit of progress.

Companies with goals that are oriented to benefiting humanity, including a "backup plan" for Earth (humanity).

But all that aside, I can't help but have some level of admiration and respect for someone who is a self made man, the epitome of the "American Dream", regardless of political leanings.
