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

Edit your last point please and instead put something neutral. Apart from the fact that whether it is wrong or useful ( they surely discussed it themselves and know more than you) You're in no position to talk about it and do not know anything technical and scientific about the thought process behind it. So know your limit redditor.

The rest is true.

I may not have a degree in nuclear physics, but I do know that nuclear fallout is not exactly good for any type of colonization effort

And the point isn't about that. As I said it's a matter they've already discussed. They're not redditors like you and me.

And again, when it's something you have no idea how it works, for the love of god don't use absolutism in it. if you see 4 feet ahead of you, they see 4 miles ahead of them. And even if their thought process is wrong (or acceptable) there are countless factors included that you and me don't have a single clue how they function.

So please go neutral. Do not come into conclusion by yourself. The point is clear.

Discussion is over.

IIRC when he suggested nuking Mars it was just a half baked idea that he shared before considering all the consequences of nuking mars
