Musk is exactly the same as he's always been, an eccentric weirdo with too much money, for better or worse.

Is he bad?

That's hilarious if you know his background on Smash.

Even if we want to ignore his corrupt anti-union shit, dude comes up with nonsense ideas that make no sense. The Loop alone should bury his credibility as an "ideas" guy

Hes the new frontman for the plan to track and monitor every aspect of our lives via nueral-link in the near future. At least, thats what the evidence points towards.

That shit will be advertised as life changing and people will be begging for the tech, not knowing or understanding that its a literal Trojan horse.

Remember when he got all pissy that someone else saved a bunch of children from dying before he could, then he decided to label the guy a pedo

Yeah thats where he lost me

As we danced at our wedding reception, Elon told me, "I am the alpha in this relationship." I shrugged it off, just as I would later shrug off signing the postnuptial agreement, but as time went on, I learned that he was serious. He had grown up in the male-dominated culture of South Africa, and the will to compete and dominate that made him so successful in business did not magically shut off when he came home. This, and the vast economic imbalance between us, meant that in the months following our wedding, a certain dynamic began to take hold. Elon's judgment overruled mine, and he was constantly remarking on the ways he found me lacking. "I am your wife," I told him repeatedly, "not your employee."
"If you were my employee," he said just as often, "I would fire you."

By the time eBay bought PayPal in 2002, we had moved to Los Angeles and had our first child, a boy named Nevada Alexander. The sale of PayPal vaulted Elon's net worth to well over $100 million. The same week, Nevada went down for a nap, placed on his back as always, and stopped breathing. He was 10 weeks old, the age when male infants are most susceptible to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). By the time the paramedics resuscitated him, he had been deprived of oxygen for so long that he was brain-dead. He spent three days on life support in a hospital in Orange County before we made the decision to take him off it. I held him in my arms when he died.

Elon made it clear that he did not want to talk about Nevada's death. I didn't understand this, just as he didn't understand why I grieved openly, which he regarded as "emotionally manipulative."
