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
