We all know?
Have you seen the adulation the press and his online sycophants have been pouring on him? There are people, even supposedly smart technical people, who act as if Felon was the Second Coming of Christ, Engineer. They genuinely believe he is an innovator and that he has technical smarts beyond the ken of ordinary engineers.
Where a quick perusal of his patent portfolio suggests he's not even very good at ideas.
There's a whole lot of people who really should know better who think he's a bona fide tech genius and he banks on that to get the power and glory and money that he thinks he's owed.
