Musk is a cynical businessman with no sense of integrity. Even his Tesla would have gone bankrupt long ago (like most of the US startups) if the rights of workers were protected in the US much tougher than in Europe.
Actually, I have long considered the effectiveness of his Tesla - it loses by an order of magnitude to the Japanese Toyota. Those. he successfully entered the market, receiving concessions from the authorities with the "green agenda", but as an effective entrepreneur, he is certainly bankrupt if he finds himself in the same tough environment of car manufacturers with internal combustion engines.
The fact that he violates the laws, between times and in fact a criminal, is an open secret for any sane person.
He is a skilled manipulator and a nimble businessman. But in fact, he should have been in prison for many years for previous deeds, from the days of PayPal.
He did not create anything fundamentally new (in terms of science), he just successfully got into a fashionable stream (and more than one) many years ago, when the management of automakers rested on their laurels, like once the same criminal Bill Gates, who also had to shake his term for a long time in prison, like the rest of the M$ bosses, multiple violations of the laws of the United States and other countries.
But since they did nothing fundamentally new in science, his successes will gradually fade away. In addition, he is already over 50 and his intellect is rapidly waning, so his gift of foresight in the search for a new fashionable jet will soon make a fatal mistake. It's unavoidable.
He has one task for today, like Bill Gates and a bunch of the same nimble businessmen once had - to have time to monetize as much as possible of the capitalization of his shares in shares. You can't sell quickly, it took Bill more than 20 years to do it. Everything else is empty informational noise, like most of the vigorous activity.
The same can be said about the head (beneficiaries) of almost any modern TNC.
Is Musk an authoritarian? Rather, he is a realist and a cynic who, like most, ignores the rules and laws adopted in society, if it is personally beneficial for him - power (and the mind is the highest degree of power) rules this world and nothing more. Whoever has the power is right.
History will judge everyone. The main thing is that there are those who remember how everything really happened. But human life is short, and everything quickly turns into false legends and tales, if there is no one to stop the rogues who rewrite history for themselves ... Winners are not judged. Because there is no one ... and it is the winners and their heirs who write the history of mankind. Therefore, there is very little real truth in the history of mankind, as everything really was - those who knew it are dead and for the most part did not have the right to vote and the opportunity to write history.
We live in a virtual reality that has been artificially drawn to us for centuries. And every time this virtual reality is more and more complex and sophisticated.
