Let's see what the great American magnates of the past are remembered for:
All these men were also known as ruthless barons of industry who stamped out those who opposed them without second thought, but at least they also did a fair bit of good to at least try to offset their ills. Elon is just openly a horrible person. History will not be kind to his memory.
Henry Ford is also still known as a nazi empathizer. You can be a lot of shitty things, but Nazi tends to stick. Reminds me of the end of Inglorious Bastards.
Well, I'm not saying that they're only remembered for the good things. But you've almost certainly heard about the good things that Ford's done as well. What notable good thing will Elon be known for? I can't think of anything at all.
Henry Ford is known for the production line, which is what made vehicles affordable.
They're not affordable anymore. What good is that Nazi sympathizers legacy now?
