Careful with attributing to Musk what he's just appropriated. An argument can be made that he's not Tesla, a daring inventor who was way ahead of his time, but instead Edison, a shrewd and ruthless marketer that was able to capitalize on the innovations of others, including, especially, the work of Tesla himself.

I mean, regardless of his public persona, I think it's obvious that he's an innovator. Otherwise he would have taken the paypal money and left.

Also the same thing could be said about Steve Jobs.
