          well, perhaps Kepler didnt, but Newtonian physics deputised them both.

          It’s close though.

          He’s a CEO of some companies and he has a shit load of potential money in stocks, but other than that he’s just a shitposter on twitter.

          His actual influence is miniscule. He did not achieve anything worth remembering in the future. His legacy will be “most money 2022”

            he’s a cunt… but he definitely did some things and shifted some things…

            i despise him quite a bit, especially now that he’s drifting into alt-right chudism… but he founded spacex… did a lot for electric and self driving vehicles…

            and sure he’s a shitposter on twitter, but he’s in the news constantly about it… he’s definitely leaving a shitsmeared footprint on history and is thus, a somebody…
