My own personal opinion of him is that he’s a shrewd businessman in a world that prefers businessmen over creators. The second the public eye shifted to him he clearly had some mental episode that has only been heightened by drug use and being egged-on by the alt-right and social commentators like Rogan. Ironically, he’s become a creator, but his content is the actions of a broken billionaire lashing out.

___@lemm.ee 2 months agoI don’t think he fooled anyone. The guy was literally helping the environment and advancing the space age. Then he started using drugs and went off the rails. He’s like Kanye. His music was good, the creator just went nuts.

No he wasn’t. Capitalists don’t cure the disasters they create - they just find different ways of profiting off it.
No, he didn’t - he just showed his true nature. That is all.

You see all of the electric cars on the road now? Tesla saw an opportunity to make money, and it paved a path to lower carbon emissions (eventually). Even the blind chicken catches a worm. Capitalism isn’t all bad, it’s the greed it breeds that’s bad. The world isn’t black and white.

You mean those things that aren’t public transport? Those things?
FTFY.
Capitalism is literally just a set of excuses and pretexts to justify gross economic parasitism - old-stule “greed” doesn’t even hold a candle to that.
