Does anyone else here believe that Musk will be venerated as a great prophet similar to Buddha, Muhammed, Jesus or Zarathustra after he's gone?

He's giving people hope. He's one of the few members of his class who makes people believe that the future they dreamt of is attainable after all. That many things we've been told are unfeasible suddenly become possible once someone with enough wealth and clout is backing them. That the luddite majority can scream and shout as much as they want but we'll still go to space, that liberal democracy with all its '''''ethics committees'''' and '''''technological assessment boards'''''' cannot prevent the future after all and that we're not doomed to eke out an existence as subsistence farmers after the inevitable ''''''collapse''''' like the ecoreactionary propaganda keeps telling us.

Musk is exposing the rest for what they are, parasites whose ultimate goal is stagnation. At best they're misguided philanthropists like Gates and Soros, at worst they're are actively working on creating dystopia like Thiel or are content with the status quo.

And he's not even a polymath or a prodigy, just someone who read the right books as a kid and got lucky. Imagine just what would be possible if we handed the keys to people smarter than Musk. What a true technocracy could achieve. And this is why people hate and fear Musk, it's not the cars or the silly company names. It's what he represents and whose thoughts he's pulling into the mainstream consciousness. They're scared and they should be, the future is just beginning.
