There are now many leaders. All of those with the Tesla badge are leaders. That is certainly a major accomplishment and one that we recognize by honoring those by putting their profile links up on this board.

I share the sentiment with that of CW and others that the spirit of Khan Academy is to learn things. Once a person has achieved the Tesla badge, what purpose does it serve to continue to rack up points just for the sake of the points?

The old (or original) leaderboard required a lot of effort by many folks to keep up to date. And for what purpose? To glorify one person?

The new format requires less effort to keep up to date.

Out of the many millions of KA users we have identified 26 folks to date. Wow. I would be honored to be on this list of "dudes and dudettes" that have earned the Tesla badge.
