@judgedread I follow. But perhaps the counter is that what Elin has achieved is just re-acquiring the pre-enlightenment "moral man" norm. Sure it's the modern version with modern trappings, but the kernel is old, not new: a man subduing and filling the earth.

You don't love him because he is a man with rockets. You love him because he is a man. He just uses rockets instead of <words, iron, chariots, locomotives, genes, ships, swords, whatever>. Elon is a fully-blossomed man--a king, an image of the creating God, as every man should be.

If the enlightenment had delivered, kings would be more common now, not less.
