Both Bill Gates (IT robber baron) and Mike Tyson (wife beater, ear biter and convicted rapist) seem to enjoy pretty good reputations these days.

Musk's reputational problem is chiefly due to looking quite incompetent at the moment, not his moral failings.

    Neither in mine, but that hardly matters, does it?

    And nevertheless, I think that if polio gets eradicated despite Obama, the world will own Bill Gates a debt of gratitude. Don't you?
