| You may note that 0/2 halves appreciate his lack of principles and capricious political endeavors. If it was, say, Tim Cook being dissected, people would also criticize his inconsistent political views and support for self-serving deregulation. |

| I don't think he really cares about politics. He was proper left wing before, switched over to right wing. There were plenty of stories and timelines were he as really lucky regarding his money and his investments. Im pretty sure he did all of this to lobby for himself. Why would he try to change or fix USA Politics for the better of humanity if he stated that earth is over and we need mars. DOGE? His way of fighting burocracy and environmental rules.
Giving money to Trump? Subsidies, advertising, reduction of environmental rules etc. |

Literally, Solar City and Tesla were to hit the sweet sweeet rebates. You can see the effects by companies like Ford canceling the F150 lighting cause the consumer breaks are gone, he was pillaging California and other Federal rebates to build his businesses, then does SpaceX to suck funds from the DoD to launch NRO sattelites. His affiliations go where the money gun blows. |

| Nah, his daughter coming out as trans drove him over the edge as an egotistical controlling narcissist. He didn't build, the engineers who work(ed) for him did. They deserve the credit, both at Tesla and SpaceX. Those who engineer and build always deserve credit due. But that is not him. |

Not sure how it holds up to reality when all the engineers are completely free to do whatever they want, but his companies are massively more successful than any others. Even with the previous World's Richest Man Bezos trying to poach everyone he has and copying/funding pretty much all the same ideas. Dare I ask which multi-trillion dollar companies you've been able to steal? |
