Musk Blames Hatred of Rich People for His Daughters Estrangement

If he wanted to, he could do something about the way people think of the wealthy and the way they use their wealth. His influence is only sourced from wealth, I don't think he gets it. He might be smart, but he's not any smarter about people or the world, nor more energetic and motivated, than thousands of others who just haven't gotten where he is, and might be low-paid in non-profits, universities, and government.

Instead, he's not doing a thing to change anyone's mind that the rich are rather more spoiled and entitled-acting than everyone else.

> his supporters have long maintained that Musk is different from other billionaires because he uses his wealth to "make the world better" by building electric cars, working to create a space colony on Mars, and, lately, trying to turn Twitter into his version of a free-speech utopia.

Yeah, sure.

Might also have something to do with his daughter being trans and him actively courting supporters who hate her.
