If you think Elon is just a “marketer”, you’ve never built something of significance. And thinking that doesn’t make you a sycophant.

His friend Peter Thiel calls him a "sales grandmaster" in his book "Zero to One". I think that's a pretty accurate definition. Definitely not "just a marketer", but surely an unscrupulous marketer.
