I like Elon so much because of one reason: his multi trillion business adds completely new values without taking a single cent away from small retailers and owners, as new big corps do through various legit and not so ways. In contrast, Bezos has closed innumerable stores and every tech giant killed competition in online services. Name it socialism for the poor, but I don't care about his success as long as it doesn't interfere with other's business.

His EV was successful, his social media/AI OK but his space data center will fail and from now on he sells hype, a very fancy, trendy, sexy -name it- and expensive hype. Laws of physics don't allow it to be viable. We have a joke that originally applied to politicians and now to him: you can fool one for a long time, you can fool many for a short time, but you can't fool many for a long time.
