There are conspiracy theories that there was an explosion that went off in the titanic. To ensure that it went down.
Right, so a brief google, who is JP Morgan in this scenario? Trump or Musk sinking the Titanic of US establishment? Removal of obstacles to Musk changing the US financial system?
A silly conspiracy that posits Morgan as a mass murderer, but a fictional figure to admire nonetheless for kicking against the old guard? I reckon I’m missing something. Or rather, I hope I am, the alternative is just too stupid. Which, well, is very likely.

Nah I think it actually relates to usaid being a large amount of dollars (titanic) that was used to bring terror. - influence other countries. Apparently sometimes the funding was also in conflict with the administrations aims for the regions.
Right, not enough in the military kitty for that obviously. Well I hope Donny didn’t dip into it for that recent bomb run in Somalia! Peace is expensive
Good God… I’m already feeling borderline psychotic before I read this.
Wood chipper… I take it he likes Fargo. You know what happens to everyone in that movie, Elon?
Please … devised & developed Paypal. The man is a mega intellect who is so ahead of the game its ridiculous. Yes, an entrepreneur, yes a risk taker but also VERY technically astute. Also a bit strange 
That’s just not true. In fact he was kicked out by Theil & co after a brief tenure as CEO.

You need to read more.
Musk is great at developing ideas, but has devised or invented nothing. Master at risk taking to get results, and in many ways has been lucky so far. Life is one big farking gamble to him and he does not consider consequences.

Not at all.
I have probably listened to Musk much more than most people, and his views and expertise on engineering matters are very high. He is an innovator and he gets results out of the people around him, mostly through example but also by fear.
He can be visionary when it comes to picking people and technology direction, and never is conservative in his technological or business approach. He has been lucky in that the paths he chooses have been mostly correct so fat, and in any business you need a degree of luck luck to succeed. Tesla cars are an example that he pushed to fill a market void without fear with innovative and ultimately a good product. Luck in this case was the conservative approach that his competitors took. Honda and Toyota chickened out taking him on, as did BMW and Mercedes.
lol
He didn’t develop or envision any of those technologies. He bought them and developed them with his funds, that’s where it ends.

Yes very. He won the lottery by being born to an emerald mine owner.
No billionaire is self made. They all got leg ups (legs up?) to begin with, either by just having money or opportunity that others never got.

Imagine losing the ability to file a tax return online like we do in Australia?
1. What Elon Did
The IRS’s Direct File program allowed Americans to prepare and e-file taxes for free, cutting out middlemen like TurboTax. It was simple, accessible, and cost taxpayers nothing. Naturally, Elon randomly decided to delete it.
2. His Fans Are Baffled
Even Musk’s most devout fans are now at a loss. They liked the tax program. They used it. And now they’re wondering why their hero just nuked something that helped regular people.

It’s always the money.
I’ve been an engineer in tech-space for 30 years. I worked on stuff that has been way ahead of some of the best things the US has developed and become successful (I’ve worked on a few duds too!). The difference between success and failure is money. If you don’t have the money to productize and market your solution at fast pace you will not succeed.
People like Elon have the money to do that. That’s what they do. Connect money to ideas.
And credit to entrepreneurs that do that, it takes balls to put it all on the line for an idea.
One entrepreneur I worked with happily admitted he bankrupted 4 out 5 companies he worked with, it was part of the game. I couldn’t do that.
But don’t think for a moment entrepreneurs are brains behind the idea or technology.
