Pretty nonsense take a I have to say.
You act like Musk is some kind of genocide dictator. Oh my god, he fights with the SEC therefore he must be shot in the head.
> Musk has shown time and time again that his ideals of climate change or whatever are not genuine.
Literally based on what? He has been consistent for 20+ years. Given tons of talks and has literally changed one of the most conservatives industry in the world to a much, much greener industry.
Why did he do Tesla? Do you think he thought 'What a great businesses idea?'.
> He wants to get to play with cool toys, make bold but undeliverable promises, and get as much attention as possible.
When he started SpaceX he was not famous. You can go back to inteview where he was a mostly unknown (at least by people who don't follow Silicon Vally startups). And he already talks about all those things.
The idea that he build a rocket company because he wants to 'play with toys' is just nonsense.
And even if it was, so what? SpaceX achieved what it did, no matter the reason.
> And yet, people look up to him as if he’s some saint bestowed upon us.
He is a successful entrepreneur and engineer. I defend him from people who just make up a bunch of nonsense because they don't like him as a person.
> I truly feel letting a billionaire like him take one of the biggest megaphones in the world private as a personal playground is one of the worst things that could have happened.
Sound like you lived a really privileged life if you think that.
And he already did use it as a megaphone, that is literally what Twitter is.
What exactly are you suggesting would happen?
> And it’s all because he wants to say what he wants to say when he wants to say it, even though he has a history of bullying and trying to shut up people who disagree with him.
Twitter not being owned by him has not prevented him from saying anything. The SEC doesn't care who owns twitter.
