It sucks, where is the 2016 Musk. That dude seemed to really want to help the world
Knowing people who worked with him at the time, 2016 Musk was a PR illusion and nothing more. He’s literally always been a giant piece of shit, he just had much better handlers and was able to hide it a lot better so he could get all those sweet government subsidies and commit stock fraud. Literally everything he’s ever done has been in the name of gifting money from the government or shareholders in some form or another for personal enrichment. He’s never once cared about anyone other than himself.
Musk is now one of the wealthiest people in the world and our justice and financial system have made it clear he won’t be punished, so now he can be the same piece of shit he’s always been, just publicly, because it’s clear there will be basically zero repercussions.

I had a client in 2011 who had worked for tesla and said musk was a complete nightmare even then!
I’ve always told my friends and family that Musk needs a sassy black woman as a publicist and all communications should be filtered through her.
