        Elon still invented nothing. The guy couldn’t even finish a degree in physics.

        Its only his requirements for the real engineer team that made the inventions kill people.

      Elon is credibly regarded as inventor on two patents. Both design patents. One for the shape of a vehicle door and the other for the shape of a charger plug. So, he is an inventor, technically. He draws shapes and then patents them.

      As an actual inventor (US Patent #12,095,717 B1), it’s pretty ridiculous that he technically qualifies, when all he’s done is doodle.

      The other patents he’s listed as inventor on all have several other inventors listed, who probably did almost all, if not all, of the actual work.
