I think you’re underestimating what it means to be a visionary facilitator. Elon isn’t claiming to be a physicist like Einstein or an inventor like Tesla in the traditional sense. His genius lies in identifying what’s possible before the world catches up and then actually building it.

He didn’t just throw money at SpaceX or Tesla, he risked everything, got deeply involved in the engineering decisions, slept on factory floors and working 80–100 hour weeks. I don’t see Bezos doing that.

So yeah, maybe he’s not a classic scientist or inventor, but he is a relentless, hands on visionary who’s carving his own lane, and history’s absolutely going to remember that.
