The list is endless, but one of Musk's lies is that he is the "founder" of Tesla, when in fact he bought it from the actual founders and somehow managed to successfully sue to be granted the sole feudal title (I think the whole "FOUNDER" thing is weird).
A con man clown with just enough of substance (Tesla did produce cars that were popular enough, SpaceX rockets do seem to manage to launch) to let him bullshit through to the next month.
