Meanwhile most people know a lot of successful celebs, artists, entrepreneurs are pretty insane, but that’s why they got where they are.
You don’t get innovation and development without crazy people.
You can be creative and driven and wacky without believing falsehoods 5 minutes of reading or even just observation plus a modicum of intellectual honesty could correct, such as that nonsense about billionaires. And surely without trying to swat whistleblowers [0] or firing engineers for correcting things you made up [1]. That's not at all how so many well known and very successful people behave, actually. That's not what leaders do, either. That's what sick people can't help but do.
History in the long run doesn't care about how successful "celebrities" were for themselves, but whether they gave more than they took.

“It’s bad to promise and sell technology that does not exist” is not a puritanical belief.
“It’s bad to buy a company and then attempt to renege on its obligations to employees and service providers” is not a puritanical belief.
These aren’t fringe beliefs whatsoever.
Next you’re in europe check out our attitude to nipples. Or people saying offensive things (non UK).
I’ll grant you one thing, Europeans also hate billionaires. I guess that’s just the natural envy in every human being.
The resentment toward the very wealthy isn't generally because of envy at all. It's what happens when people use their wealth and power in a way that harms others.
Jamie Dimon - yeah sure.
Musk? Really? Why? Probably because he takes a political stance? Funnily enough so does bezos and Zuckerberg but on the other side.
But I don’t see how musks contribution to society is a net negative.
-pedoguy was verified as common slang in his area of SA: https://www.news24.com/news24/bi-archive/elon-musk-pedo-guy-... Is it odd/stupid to call someone an asshole on Twitter? Yes. But obviously some people think it is okay because their moral framework is…
-visionaries suffer from too much optimism, but that is known and seems to be required to move the needle.
-he tried to get out of the purchase deal but would have been forced to purchase, so it was all a shit show requiring more than one lacking human.
I still think calling someone "rapey" or "pedo guy" directly implies rape or pedophilia, given that that's the whole point of using it as derogatory slang
"It's bad to make statements about "return to office" critical of your employees while they are calling you out for poor working conditions."
"It's bad to make anti-labor statements in general while your companies are being held up as a model of shoddy workmanship and poor safety practices."
"It's bad to repeatedly make statements affirming your belief in American rights of citizenship like free speech and then take action that directly limits the speech of anyone you disagree with using your wealth."
While not entirely bipartisan or free of judgement, I think are pretty reasonable.
It is the first piece of writing which gave me deeper understanding outside of the duality of worship/judgment.

An excerpt:
> I learned a ton from watching Elon up close – the good, the bad and the ugly. His boldness, passion and storytelling is inspiring, but his lack of process and empathy is painful.
> Elon has an exceptional talent for tackling hard physics-based problems but products that facilitate human connection and communication require a different type of social-emotional intelligence.
FWIW Esther has no way of knowing if he has any exceptional talents outside of cult-building.
Interviewer: "What would you ask the AGI"
Musk nervously stares around in his view, not focusing but like a person pretending to think hard to prepare a lie. Licks his lips. Seemingly distressed by the question or his immediate answer. Says
"WhaT's OutSiDe thE SimUlATiOn"
