Musk has two important skills:

1) He's very inspiring. His employees like working for him (tbh it's not hard to be more inspiring than the average CEO, but he manages to pass that low bar, and his employees respond by doing good work).

2) He's good at getting funding, especially government funding.

Both of these are real skills, and they have led to all his success.

Forth generation languages were usually intended to be general use programming languages, the canonical example being Forth.

Steady inflation is healthy. It devalues hoarded cash. The wealthy currently have unprecedented cash reserves.

Yeah, but they don't put it under a rock. They put it into short term investments, where it will mostly keep up with inflation. So that strategy doesn't do anything to rich people, it only hurts unsophisticated people.

Imagine the programer who chose to specialize on a language at some point in their education, spent a year or two dedicated to that language to get good enough to hire for full time permanent employment and start carving out a career,

Yeah, anyone who can't learn another programming language easily should not be a programmer. I don't enjoy working with those people.
