Bay Area tech founder brutally skewers former buddy Elon Musk

Philip Low, the CEO and founder of Bay Area tech startup NeuroVigil, excoriated Musk in a defiant 1,900-word missive posted to Facebook on Friday and updated since.

Low set up this familiarity before bashing Musk with unbridled intensity. As the post went on, he painted Musk as self-centered (“Elon believes he is above everyone else”), power-hungry and cynical (“Everything Elon does is about acquiring and consolidating power. That is why he likes far right parties”). He also accused Musk of using X, formerly known as Twitter, to push people toward “the far right” around the world.

The founder also listed reasons why he suspects “Elon did two Nazi salutes” at a celebration in Washington for President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Low wrote that Musk “enjoys a good thrill and knew exactly what he was doing.” He speculated Musk was trying to ingratiate himself with what he called the “Nazi wing” of the MAGA movement. “His narcissistic self was hoping the audience would reflect his abject gesture back to him, thereby showing complete control and dominion over it, and increasing his leverage over Trump,” Low wrote. “That did not happen.”

“He only wants to control, dominate and use you — don’t let him and cut him and his businesses out of your and your loved ones’ lives entirely,” Low wrote. “Remember he is a total miserable self-loathing poser, and unless you happen to be one too, he will be much more afraid of you than you should ever be of him.”
