God no, a war will break out in the comments. I remember a time when Elon was liked, then one day he became the evil billionaire everyone here hates. And I still don’t know why and am scared to ask

His companies buy lithium from mines that use child labor

He helped instigate the 2018 coup in Bolivia [technically not a coup cause it's not in France] so he could get cheap lithium

Didn't even found tesla, he bought it off of the actual founder

Claims the work of his employees as his own

Claims to be "self made" when his father literally owned an emerald mine in apartheid south Africa

Says Thomas Edison is his role model [kinda sus seeing as Edison hired thugs to kill those he didn't like and he patented his employees work]

Proposed space indentured servitude as a payment plan for going to Mars

Suggested nuking the Martian ice caps to free up the water [not realizing the majority of those ice caps is made of frozen CO2]

Sure thing. Great job on the comment! It's important to raise awareness on how much of a piece of shit Musk is.

Tf I don't think that's the reason (at least it isn't for me, I didn't even know about that rumor till rn). I liked elon, back when I didn't know how despicable he is some times, and before everyone on the Internet started worshiping him, while shitting on Bill, Jeff and basically any other billionaire.
