I for one am very sympathetic towards Elon Musk. I know there are dozens of ways to problematize him, and I'm not being dismissive towards them, but unlike most billionaires I think he's ultimately a well intentioned idealistic at his core, and most of his projects seem to come from a place of trying to make a positive difference in the world (electric cars, space exploration, alleviating urban hell, human augmentation, now free speech). So, I believe he has the means, the will and the competence to make a difference. If billionaires will keep existing this is the kind I want to see more of.

If you think I'm being naive or blind please feel free to explain me how. I'm almost eager to have my mind changed.
