Agreed. Tesla and SpaceX are succeeding despite his "leadership". He's bought his way into anything and actually innovated or created very little. He's a trust-fund shitposter with little to actually add to the world. Yes it takes all types but people who are a net negative to humanity should be shunned and not blindly admired. Nobody is going to be better off by worshiping the likes of Elon Musk.

This take really makes no sense at all. Even if you argue that all Elon did is start SpaceX and provide the initial funding (which is undeniable) than you would still have to agree he has been wildly successful as a business person. People are admired for many different reasons, many with signficant character flaws. It sounds like you are trying to project your personal feelings on everyone else.

I find Elon haters just as annoying as his fanboy worshippers. What makes you think he's a net negative to humanity and not you?
