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...
