Actually, I used to like Elon and was almost about to buy a Tesla, before the overwhelming burden of evidence required me to change my mind about him.

What motivates your point of view? I'm genuinely very curious.

How is he the status quo elite? What leads you to believe he's not intelligent? Like those 2 things alone you need massive cognitive dissonance to believe.

Because "looting the USA" is a ridiculous accusation agains someone who is became wealthy from creating genuinely great products. He spent everything he had on SpaceX and Tesla and came incredibly close to losing it all. He is not some robber baron or oligarch who is wealthy by hoarding natural resources.
