In a civil society he shouldn't have lasted past calling someone a pedo in public.

Most CEOs would have been ejected from their companies pretty damn quickly. Why not Musk?

His companies don't have great governance ratings because the board is stuffed with family members, friends and his divorce lawyer as General Counsel (that last one sounds like satire but isn't).

Even cried during the court session... :-)

"A former Tesla lawyer broke down in tears during Elon Musk's compensation lawsuit" - https://qz.com/elon-musk-tesla-pay-lawsuit-todd-maron-185121...

"...It wasn’t just Maron. Musk had a 15-year relationship with Ira Ehrenpreis, who chaired the committee that determined the CEO’s compensation. Antonio Gracias, another member of the compensation committee has a 20-year business relationship with Musk, and they’re such good friends that the two even go on vacation together..."

He has good contacts with the MIC, provides Starlink in Ukraine, works on missiles, has friends who work on drones.

He also is the right wing voice that keeps the culture wars theater going and will reduce workers' rights even further.

Therefore, the uniparty likes him. The only issue where he ever had to recant was Israel.
