Where do I begin?

- his work pracices at all his companies are that of an imbecile manbaby. There are very public reports of this for Tesla and SpaceX, at the very least.

- his "hyperloop" plan delayed a proper trans-state transportation system for a decade+

- he proceeded to further ruin twitter and be completely contradictory on his whole "free speech" advocation

- he literally tried to buy votes for a national US election. Then admitted his lottery was never a fair lottery (i.e. fraud). Pretty much knowing any lawsuits after the election was a cost to do business.

- and his punishment? being a part of a stupidly named cabinet organization that will probably do the opposite of its stated goals, given his history.

Those are just off the top of my head.

What reasons do I have to like Musk? Because he didn't screw up SpaceX as hard as NASA was screwed by the federal government? That he was first to market for American EVs (because US was too busy defending oil and ignoring that other countries were pushing ahead)?

For me, he seemed harmlessly eccentric until “pedo guy”. It’s been all downhill since then.

Because he ruined twitter? Okay. I see you.
