The more I read about Musk ,the more he just seems to be a conman:

Elon Musk co-founded and leads Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company.

He didn't co-found Tesla, he bought it...that's just one of many examples...

He is smart, he has vision, yes, but I really doubt he's a rocket scientist as he likes to pretend. He is smart enough to pay the right people good money though.

Yeah no, definitely he is not half as smart as the actual scientits and engineers doing the hard work, yeah he might be a great PR Agent but that's it, as I was saying above I really hope we as society can evolve on to appreciating and praising more and more the actual hands-on work of people in the labs or on the fields rather than the PR agents pretending to know it all.

He also has built a cult following, any negative comments about him on most socials will get your down voted or abused. His built this narrative that any criticism of him or his products is some type of liberal left take down. Same as Trump, Rogan etc.

According to many people, he is a messiah, saving us from hurricanes, climate change, AI etc. How supporting Trump leads to good climate out comes is beyond me...
