1. This.

My kiddo thinks Elon Musk is the man. Guess what we’re talking about at breakfast tomorrow.

3. I used to admire Musk.

In the early days, he expressed a drive to benefit humankind and the environment, which was the principle behind founding Tesla, and I applauded heartily. I don't know now if that was a false public face he was presenting to begin with or if he has betrayed principles he formerly held. Whatever the case may be, he's a collossal disappointment.

4. I think the wealth and power has gotten to him. That was really shitty what he did to his workers

6. Agreed.

He could have been an American hero, but he blew it. I admired how he put everything on the line for Tesla in the beginning and there was no one to back him up. That took courage and I admired him for it, but now he's just as corrupt as most of the others in his income bracket.

5. Anyone that would instigate a coup d'etat for profit qualifies as a megalomaniac in my book

I don't think Bolivia wanted to line the pockets of some Silicon Valley carpetbagger at their own expense.

8. He probably voted for Trump in 2016 and will again

but probably wont admit to it for business reasons.
