I very much agree with Ben’s characterization. I don’t think Musk has the intelligence, the self-awareness, or the emotional maturity to make a complex, calculated decision like pretending to be a right-winger for the sake of business. It’s pretty obvious by now that he’s just a garden-variety fragile-narcissistic grifter with sociopathic tendencies who stumbled into “success” purely on account of luck and being born into enormous generational wealth and who’s driven more by—in Ben’s words—impotent range and spite towards those he perceives as having “wronged” him than anything else…
On the plus side, though, once the global economy starts to head south and it becomes harder and harder for him to hide all the fraudulent account practices and Ponzi schemes he’s no doubt running, it’s only a matter of time before Elon becomes Enron….
