Elon sucks but most of the stuff he does is just depriving investors and his customers of their money, so while he's incredibly annoying, aside from his employees, he mostly hasn't caused much actual harm to people who don't deserve it.

His family wealth comes from African mines. How do you think a white guy comes to own mines in Africa?

it actually helps explain things when you find out that while his dad did own a very small share of a mine he was mainly the salesperson/marketer for it. his grand parents on that side owned a traveling circus. his mother’s side of the family were the first chiropractors in Canada and controlled the biggest network of them.

it’s hucksters all the way down.

Sure, his whole family should probably have to pay reparations or something, and as with all billionaires he was born into dubiously acquired wealth that he didn't deserve, but that's not what we were talking about. He personally has mostly just deprived other rich idiots of their money.

Maybe he still deserves to be sent to the guillotine but again when you're comparing him with Putin, he didn't invade a country.

he's helped abort a bunch of cities' plans to create/improve/expand their mass transit with his lies about (hyper)loops and robo-taxis

his factories are hotbeds of racist abuse and worker injuries

depriving other billionaires of their ill-gotten gains is is good, but he does have quite a share of his own ill-gotten gains (off the backs of his labor force) which is bad

in conclusion ylon misk should not be allowed

quote:

Tesla’s billionaire chief executive, Elon Musk, would come through the front of the factory “with his entourage,” Chatman said. “They didn’t want a Black face up there,” she said, adding that Latino colleagues were left up front while Black workers were moved to the back.
