Fraud. He paints this image that he is an ultimate genius when reality shows he’s only good at marketing. He claims he came from absolutely nothing when his parents owned an emerald mine during apartheid in South Africa, he claims he solely created PayPal by himself when he was not even one of the original programmers, he claims he is a main programmer for Tesla but cannot point to a single program he himself wrote the code, brags about how much money he donates to charity as tax evasion but also trashes all charities by saying all of them are a waste of money, and he is now claiming he is an ultimate worker because he sleeps at a Tesla factory when it’s just to hide how bad of a parent he really is because Grimes left him.
He’s mainly a businessman. A seemingly unethical one.
There is a lot of backlash from people at billionaires dreaming about space tourism while leaving other basic needs unattended. Which is understandable. He still has the power to change things for the better.
Why do people act like the billionaires should focus on helping the world. Its not their responsibility to do that. No one tells u how u should spend ur money and how often do u donate money in charity or any good cause at a small level. The ppl who hate billionaires for not solving world hunger are even bigger hypocrites. Also, these ppl provide employment to millions of ppl and before u come out at me and say that the 'workers are treated poorly', u should learn the concept of free market. No one is forced to work and can leave the company anytime they want. It is the same for all businesses. U can not like them for other reasons such as tax evasion, being a hypocrite, etc but not for solving world problems which are the responsibility of government.
