    Musk is about as bad as you can imagine. Narcissistic megalomaniac that recently took a hard right towards fascism and blames trans people for it

      It’s not that money makes people evil, it’s that money allows evil people to do so much more damage.

      How different would the world be if Rupert Murdoch never became a wealthy media tycoon?

        I think it sure can enhance the bad things that are already there. Money usually gives you power and influence and often (if you have enough) brings with it a bunch of sycophants that concern whatever you’re saying which would tend to enhance your worst impulses.

        It also enhances any existing tendencies to view other people as instrumental to your own goals, because in some sense they are.

        What Musk is clearly doing here is seeing his children as extensions and in some sense property of himself, and that means he needs to control them. Their autonomy is a direct threat to what he sees as his existence. That’s not the kind of delusion you’re born with, that’s taught.

      Blaming someone else for having such worldview is one of the lamest things I ever heard.
