To me Elon Musk is like the real-life, slightly less dramatic and slightly less evil Handsome Jack out of Borderlands

Less evil than Handsome Jack?! Jack's at least a good guy in the Presequel. Was Elon ever good?

He certainly seemed good a decade ago. Look up how we internet folk spoke about him when he was the fun guy who wanted to explore Mars and provide electric cars, not the neonazi who ruined the internet!

Funny how he had many of us fooled. I think it was more my naivete that led me to think he was legit. For some reason I've kept returning to the idea that an altruistic billionaire isn't an oxymoron 😑 as many have said and i will dutifully repeat: nobody becomes a billionaire because they've worked that many hours or made that giant of a contribution to the human race--they only acquire that much by withholding a significant share of the profits they've received from the other people that did the actual work to make the money in the first place.
