You can argue the distinctions don’t matter, but it seems relevant that Larry Page was an actually-smart grad student who turned real research into a trillion-dollar company, while Musk was a middling student who couldn’t cut grad school and made a career of stealing credit from actual researchers.

Left unmentioned is that this was a philosophical argument they got into at a party, probably on a lot of drugs, in which Page made Musk look dumb and then Musk got all mad about it. These are less serious people than the text would lead you to believe.
