Elon Musk has almost "manifest destiny" ideas about the inherent goodness of America. He talks about the virtues of unfettered capitalism while his lobbyists keep India from playing in American satellite markets. He donated to Marco Rubio as well as to democrat candidates.
I don't think Musk is particularly principled. We're just lucky that he thinks rockets and alternative energy are cool.

He has achieved great financial, business, and technology successes and is a visionary, but let's not confuse that with being a role model or hero to be emulated.
Stallman on the other hand gets nothing but respect from me for his personal integrity and values.
Another sells self driving electric cars and may even stop global warming.
