B) Making cars fly wasn’t the hard part. Flying vehicles have been a thing for a long time. The hard part is integrating them into a society that struggles enough with land and sea vehicles.
As CEO he is as responsible for the roadster as I am telling my spouse “Tacos sound good tonight here’s my credit card run down to the store get the stuff and cook it up please.” Am I partially responsible for the fact that we’re having tacos for dinner? Yes. Did I actually cook said tacos? Fuck no.
Not really when Elon’s entire persona is that he’s a fucking brilliant man that can invent just about anything. He’s a high dude with a big check book. He’s not inventing the flying car he’s writing the check for it. The fact that the man child can’t admit he’s not some crazy hyper nerdy inventor is always hilarious. But sure bend over backwards to justify his “brilliance”.
I didn’t say he had no hand in producing it. I said he had no hand in inventing it and therefore, it says little to nothing of his intelligence level. Owning a restaurant doesn’t make you a chef and owning a rocket company doesn’t make you a rocket scientist or inventor.
If I cook a really good steak for you, do you call my boss and thank them? No. They didn’t cook the steak. Sure, I only had the resources to make the steak because I have a job and my boss signs my checks but nobody would make that jump that they should give my boss the credit for something like that. I’m genuinely shocked that this is such a tough concept for y’all to get.
You're deflecting with a false analogy. If your boss built the grill, engineered the kitchen, and dictated the recipe, he gets the credit for the steak. Cooking a steak isn't inventing anything. You're using a strawman of a passive check-writer to ignore what an active product architect actually does.

It’s hard explaining things to stupid people.
A) Elon had no hand in inventing that
B) Making cars fly wasn’t the hard part. Flying vehicles have been a thing for a long time. The hard part is integrating them into a society that struggles enough with land and sea vehicles.
