As someone who's gone to the Titanic wreckage 33 times and survived, I'd put him up there with any so-called "expert." Hell an "expert" died in that submersible.
More like migrants (whose names probably no one knows/can know) dying is old news. Kind of like black-on-black crime in Chicago isn't worth reporting anymore. But (semi) famous billionaires dying on a submersible? How often does that happen? This isn't rocket surgery.
I used to be a huge Musk skeptic. Then I saw SpaceX land that used rocket back on a platform in the sea. Made me buy a Tesla and make a pile on Tesla stock. Now I think he's playing 5D chess with seemingly idiotic moves...
I said when all the libs were getting their panties in a twist over Elon buying Twitter, saying it was going to go under, that it was the most powerful and useful news tool out there and wasn't going anywhere.
