That's the price of innovation. Musk's competence comes from not having to try too many dumb things before finding success.

Seems crazy to criticize someone for having taken risk (with his own money no less), had some setbacks along the way, and ultimately persevered.

I'm critical of his Trumpian-like need to respond to haters via Tweets. Should have learned in his youth it's best to ignore mean people and concentrate on being awesome.
