I am going to count Solar City in this bucket as well. It was not a smashing success as Tesla or SpaceX are, but it helped to accelerate solar deployments.&lt;p&gt;* SpaceX proven out booster re-usability and lowered launch prices.&lt;p&gt;* Helped start open AI which is pushing limits of building machine intelligence by tackling progressively harder problems.&lt;p&gt;Whatever you think about the man, you can&amp;#x27;t ever take away those accomplishments. All of the current controversy looks so small and insignificant compared to them.</text><parent_chain><item><author>justinator</author><text>&lt;i&gt;While Musk has personally been a bit odd lately&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think Musk has shown something a little higher than eccentricity for as long as he&amp;#x27;s been in the public eye.
