Well deserved but I do have a bone to pick with awards retrospectively given after the outcome and then attributing success to individuals ex post facto.
What exactly is the point of calling a success after the success? Seems like redundant ass kissing to me.
A fawning mix between humanity's hindsight bias mixed with a large dollop of the sharp shooter fallacy.
Indeed, if I recall correctly, two of the most awarded companies of the late 90s were Enron and MCI WorldCom by the likes of Fortune, Forbes and other "respectable" business journals.
Not stating that Musk is like those guys at all - but it does make me wonder about the true purpose of awards.
