My perspective on Elon is very different from Lyn. To preface, I am not an Elon fanboy, don’t own any Tesla, SpaceX. Some random thoughts: 1. I don’t think it’s fair to criticize a person and ...

i think he did a lot of good things, he brought difficult innovations to mass market and disrupted economy. He is a smart man.

But i think ego is a sure killer, and anyone who thinks they have the ultimate power to do whatever they like to other businesses or people, can become dangerous, which is why calling him out and giving him that avenue of check and balance matters.

I am also not a fan of him riling people up, and then backstabbing them to serve his needs. Just like having bitcoin on tesla's balance sheet, and bitching abt bitcoin and pulling out due to "esg issues" - was it really esg issues or govt not funding unless he got rid of bitcoin? At that point, only someone as patient as Jack could have talk sense to him.

After that Twitter came along, and it seems like its all for the right reasons. When twitter did not want to sell it, ego shot up and he put a high price, openly riled up shareholders to get what he wanted. When twitter did agree, and economy took a turn, he found all kinds of shaddy excuses and drove people insane - and that was his goal, to drive them away until they backed off the deal. But the judge put her foot down.

Now that he has twitter, he could do the right thing, and build phenomenal businesses around it - or he could listen to bad advices and become an oppressor. We have to call him out.

And hopefully he does whats really good for humanity, and looks pass his pocket size. I'm sure if he does right, he will get his funds back and more.
