I doubt that's true, or he wouldnt have managed to take Tesla from a prototype and a few million dollars to billions, and then again with a rocketship contractor from scratch.

It's possible for people to be evil/immoral and also good at what they do, I don't get what the obsession with painting him as a dip shit who managed to accidentally make multiple successful global enterprises.

If it was really that easy to fail upward when managing these businesses you'd see a lot more of them.
