Elon Musk in an innovator. Society doesn't have many of those, lots of imitators and people who utilize the benefits of the innovators though.

Worshiped is a strong word. I think great admired is fine.

So to clarify, Elon breaking the law is ok because he is an 'innovator' funded by government subsides?

To be honest I only barely skim your threads due to the highly ridiculous content they usually have.

What exact laws has he broken?

Yeah, the OP was asked this before, and he replied:

Besides not answering the question, this "group of words" does not appear to have any meaningful content. It doesn't even rise to the level of "word salad."

He makes people think we need him, but he doesn't make anything.

His workers make things, and they can do so because of government subsidies for EV.

Without government subsidies, Tesla wouldn't exist, neither would Space X. The government just lets him take the credit.

You could cut Elon out of the loop, and the only thing that would change is the name Tesla, and what company(ies) is producing them.
I think you overly discount vision and drive.

It's why I said his threads are full of ridiculousness. Premises riddled with biases, assumptions and flat out incorrect understanding of a given subject, many times.

You can literally click on the link in the OP to find out.

Here is one example. He signed a permit to launch his space pods in Texas. He did not fulfill the required regulations so the FAA told him to cease and desist but space x went on with the launch anyways.

I doubt that the FAA would let this happen willy nilly. The general public knows what SpaceX is doing at any given time, and surely the authorities if they had any cause would have shut it down.

Find a link that explicitly proves that he violated what you mentioned here.

I love Elon musk. One of the few billionaires who actually work for their money-creating tangible things. Sometimes I think he is from the future with some of his ideas.
