I think you honestly have to compare the things he takes credit for with the things he openly does singlehandedly. It's not just positive vs negative and assigning responsibility blindly.

Well I mean if it wasn't for Steve Jobs we probably wouldn't have had iPods, iPhones, Macs etc. but besides some individual design choices it's not like it was he personally who made them. I still think it's still reasonable for him to have much of the credit. You can change half of the engineers and designers and still end up with the same product but if you change Steve then you wont. I think this pretty much applies to the stuff Elon is doing aswell. It's not him building and placing the implants but without him there wouldn't be implants to begin with.

Tesla existed for years before Musk bought himself into the CEO position.

No, you can't change out engineers and designers and get the same shit. Thats the actual talent. That is whwre the fathomless expanse of knowledge meets applicable experience. The truth is, you could change out Steve Jobs with any other charismatic face and the product would be the same because the engineers behind it are still sound. Fucking backwards ass logic is this? Being a salesmen is the least of all the challenges you face when creating new technology.
