Musk was not the founder of Tesla.
Musk did a great job with his businesses, but he also lied and mislead while manipulating: sucker consumers; the stock market; and the government. He got a lot of money from the government for different businesses.
Musk bought Twitter almost as a joke, and now uses it as his personal propaganda platform where his Tweets are boosted and he deplatforms people he doesn’t like.
Musk’s ability to pump the government for money went turbo charge with Trump.
Musk sometimes takes criticisms or minor slights as major slights and like a child gets butthurt and can’t rise above it.
