Fun fact: Musk isn't an engineer at all.

Engineering qualifications are pretty specific, and usually the term shouldn't be used loosely if those qualifications aren't there. Musk's education ended at the Baccalaureate level, but crucially in Physics and Economics. He pushes himself as some kind of engineering mastermind, but it's hard to pin down why.

Contrary to popular belief, he also is not a founder of Tesla.

    Technically he is founder of Tesla though. He just didn't found it.

    For some reason, in the US you can buy the title of "founder of X". He just bought if from the actual founders.
