So who or what is a genius, by any interpretation this man is one. EVERYTHING that has his design or concept name on it will create the biggest changes to our lives.

no one mentions all the thousands of engineers he employs to make it work I agree he is very clever but he is probably aware of the power of using the media to his advantage.

He mentions them all the time, but yes he is also aware of how to use media to his advantage. You say that as if its a bad thing?

He also understands that the way to get into the media AND get things done is to take chances and make bold gestures, for example the battery system he sold to Australia that he offered to get installed within 100 days (when others said he never would) or it would be free. Off the back of that he is now talking to the Australian government about installing solar panels onto 50,000 counsel houses and hooking them into their grid, providing cheaper energy to the residents and putting power back into the system.

I Did not mean using the media was a bad thing but its the way of the world that you have to understand the media to work it to your advantage that is something Trump used so effectively.

But as you mention he is a breath of fresh air in the way he does business and is probably one of the great engineers and in many ways Sir Clive Sinclair was an early version of a great inventor who bought great benefits to society.

Ok, so he's developed the largest rocket since the Saturn V, a vehicle capable of launching 60 tons of equipment into space and what's the first thing he does with it? Dumps a piece of useless human junk into the pristine void of outer space! Hmm.
Might as well start as we mean to go on I guess.

Yep, typical human response. Just as we've always done and always will.
