He's no innovator but does have an uncanny ability to get people to invest 10s of billions in his oddball schemes. Who in their right mind would have stumped up the cash to buy Twitter?

When I said disruptive - I meant in the markets of which his companies operate. And in Space activity, I suppose Space X has done that - but don't think it's because he's done something amazing and innovative, he's borrowed heavily from NASA's space program including the Shuttle and some more.
Same with Tesla really, not a totally new thing.
But that's not a slant on him - taking a good idea and making a commercial success of it is a great skill.
