He’s a douchebag and takes too much credit for the engineering that has made them successfull, but SpaceX has delivered some next-level rockets and Tesla has been very successful creating a new market niche and selling a ton of cars

Okay? Taking over a company, growing it, and then selling for huge profit is still good business sense.
