It fits into his ideology. He took advantage of women and then turns around probably throws them into the same bucket as parasites using him for his money because of the children. Based on his track record, one prize he's not going to get is father of the year.

I can come up with a few names for him.

Somewhere along the line, my brain started calling him "Heil Hipster", and that's what I've thought of him since.

Being a trillionaire, he likely doesn't get most elements of being a normal human being, or society at large.

But he has that same pretentious hipster vibe. Like he needs people to think he's edgy and cool.

Musk's companies like tesla and SpaceX have a reputation for being toxic work environments. Musk himself leads from the front enabling racist and misogynistic behaviour by his own staff.

He may try but hispster-no...neo-Hitler-yes

In stark contrast Google, Microsoft and Apple are cool/hip diverse and pleasant places to work.

You can judge a businessman by how happy or unhappy his employees are.

The more I witness the antics of Elon Musk in the media and his seemingly callous attitude to regular folk who aren't in his rich circle of influence, the less I want to see of him.

I try to avoid reading about him as it is pretty miserable reading about oppressive billionaires.

This about says it all.

“Frankly, Elon Musk has never delivered anything that wasn’t connected to a paternity suit,” Dr Dann said, in a reference to the eccentric billionaire fathering at least 14 kids.

“The guy can’t code, he doesn’t understand the physics of space flight, he won’t take the time to understand how government works, and he’s turned Twitter into a much smaller social media network.

“Now, he’s showing his ineptitude at scale. The illusion of genius was married to one good bet paying off because the Prosperity Gospel says that rich equals smart.”

Finally, something I've been wanting to see proven false for several years now. Being rich does not mean such a person has intelligence. There is such a thing as one's judgement being blinded due to being spoiled.

As the prosperity gospel is cited as teaching that the rich must also be smart, it should also be stated that this so called gospel (abomination) teaches that material wealth is a sign of God's favor. I've seen plenty of Facebook posts where Trump worshippers thank the Lord for giving us selfless billionaires like Trump and Musk, who only want to do Christ's work on earth.
As the Valley Girls used to say: "Gag me with a spoon!"

You have to admit, trump seems to have won over an important segment of middle America - 82% of White evangelical Protestants are team MAGA

I'm a Protestant, but hardly an evangelical, so the Trump containgen is alien to me.

Those two are more inclined to serve the pitchfork brigade, along with their rabid prosperity gospel gang! They look down on anyone who doesn't drive the right car or live in a home that meets their approval.

If EM was truly smart he would never have inserted himself into the political cesspool.

I swear I saw some research a few years ago which concluded that the biggest influence on a person's wealth was luck.

Of course many wealthy people don't acknowledge this at all, it's much more gratifying to think you're rich because you're smarter, or work harder, or because God particularly likes you or whatever. But yeah, luck is the big player.

I can never find that research when I go looking for it though.

I was reminded of it yesterday when I read an article about Abigail Disney and she did acknowledge that the reason she's wealthy is because she got lucky.
