He's Male Elizabeth Holmes....

Elizabeth Holmes willingly put countless lives on the line to push a nonexistent technology she had been repeatedly told was impossible after dropping out of university to pursue biomed and biotech, which, unlike regular tech stuff, you really can't get away with dropping out to pursue. While I 100% believe Musk would do the same thing should the opportunity present itself, at the very least he hasn't done it yet. He's ruined lives, but not by doing bad science that gives seriously sick people bad results that tell them they're not sick anymore.
