For anyone here looking for "anti-Musks", here's a list:

  • Peter Rawlinson: the founder of Lucid and the chief engineer for the Tesla model S. He's a capitalist LIB, but at least he isn't Elongated Muskrat.

-Zhang Kejian: the current directior of China's National Space Administration

  • Li Yue: The president of the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation

  • Xi Jinping to some extent, who's trained as a chemical engineer

  • Lê Thị Thu Thuỷ: CEO of the Vietnamese EV company VinFast
