He comes across as abit of a prick to me like the time he called that English teacher a peado for saying his submarine idea for rescuing the Thai kids stuck in a cave wouldn't work
But apparently does alot of good

a loose cannon in many ways but not the first well known person to call a child by a name outside the norm attracting attention, nor will he be the last, also some people trying the same with zero claim to fame, a few in Scotland apparently. I certainly wasn't aware around some fairly stringent rules in regard to what you can not name a child, who knew, a Boy named Sue :)

Supremely intelligent man. He is worth billions but has signed the pledge to hand over a huge chunk to the big trust that the best of the 'big wealthy' have formed, for doing good.

The rest he only uses to invest into his businesses.

PayPal
Tesla
SpaceX

All taken to billion dollar companies, from nothing.

Last week, he decided to sell 'virtually all' of his possessions, including his home.

His life mission is to set up the base on Mars and save the human race.

Weirdo yes. Committed to good - totally.

Respect.

Not a bad return for his initial $6.5million investment to help the company get going properly.

“Weirdo yes. Committed to good - totally.”

Didn’t he baselessly accuse a man of being a paedophile in front of his 30 million followers?

I’m not doubting his intelligence or business acumen, but he doesn’t strike me as a great person.

That case was won by Musk.

Maybe so, but it appeared he won it based on legal technicalities surrounding ‘Jdarts’ - still doesn’t strike me as a great person to accuse somebody of that in the first place, particularly on such a prominent platform.

Ot for me to defend Mr Musk, however, I think the argument centred on his use of the word and its meaning and use where he learnt it (South Africa).
