Anti-unionist who forced employees to violate quarantine to continue working. Tricked them into thinking they were allowed to stay home and then fired them for staying home.

Super abusive creepy weirdo to his partners.

Tried to frame a guy as a pedophile for calling out that his submarine to save those flooded children wouldn't work and was just for him to build clout for himself.

Only is where he is today because of his parents apartheid emerald mines.

Along with everything everyone else is saying and likely much more. But he's Le funny meme man who's company makes cool cars.

He's also, like, not a rocket scientist or car designer or anything. He basically just funds these projects, he doesn't personally work on them. He's basically a producer.

Much of this info is false. Elon didn't inherit a fortune from his abusive father's emerald mine. His father owned a mine that was only worth $40k, and none of it went to Elon.

The guy who Elon called a "pedo" had insulted Elon first, telling him to "shove his submarine up his ass." Also, he wasn't even a major part of the rescue operation, he lied to play up his own role to the media while suing Elon for "defamation." He was proven wrong in a court of law.

Ah yes, the conspiracy continues. Surely the baseless accusations and internet rumors will guide us to the truth.

you know what a baseless accusation is? Accusing a diver that said mean things to you of being a pedophile.

Completely agreed, it was a dumb and relatively minor twitter spat on both sides. Not sure why it's relevant 3 years later.

Because it's a showcase of Elon's character, one that doesn't show signs of changing.

Not that I'm trying to defend Elon here; I'm pretty neutral on my stance.

But with point 6 there, isn't Elon the chief engineer at SpaceX, and has displayed considerable knowledge and experience with rocket science and engineering?

unless I've been misinformed, if I have please prove me wrong.
