Musk is pushing his own agenda, not ours, not mine, and probably not yours.

He doesn't care about you -- don't trust him with your future.

I don't hate him. I don't agree with some of his takes.
I think it's obvious he behaves like a child at times on X (Twitter).
I also was certain that he was overpaying for Twitter when he bought it.

It's not worth wasting your energy hating a complete stranger like him.

Someone like Putin deserves wrath. Musk, he hasn't killed anyone as far as I know.
Musk plotting to destroy Social Security could end up killing lots of seniors & disabled people who have already been majorly struggling to afford their basic needs due to inflation rising a lot faster than government benefits do.

I do not like or hate Elon Musk. He is just another cunning businessman. He is awfully good at manipulating people for a supposed autistic person. I think he gets people to do most all the work running his companies, he cannot possibly have the time to function as actual CEO of all these names. If he has autism then it is a mild dose indeed. Or perhaps my understanding of autism is fundamentally flawed and autistic people can be very good at manipulating other people. At any rate, I hope he does some good things by accident when he is out there adjusting policy for the benefit of himself.

One thing interesting about Elon is he broadcasts all his little thought bubbles out in public much like Trump. It is highly unusual and I think the purpose is to float proposals in the public sphere and see how they are received. He also seeks to influence the public. By constantly interacting with the public, he has built a following, and uses it. He has also leveraged his control over X to gain influence in the public sphere. It was a terrible investment from the financial perspective, but a great one from the political perspective.

Trump fears Musk, it is not the other way around. If Musk left Trump, then Trump would be in trouble, not the other way around. I think Musk is the reason Trump won. So this has ramifications. If you wish to predict what Trump will do, then read Musk, that gives an accurate forecast.

I don't think he and I would get along in any scenario I can imagine. He would probably cheat me six ways to Sunday in any type of exchange we had.

I wish Musk would keep his stupid yank nose out of UK politics.

People are asking if Musk is obnoxious due to him having Asperger's. Because apparently being aspie just makes you an insufferable human being because our social skills are bad and we lack empathy and we have weird interests. And that hurts a lot. :(
