We humans are all terrible on some level (except my mom, she was a saint), but if you have enormous power, you can help or hurt a lot of people based on your actions. Musk has a lot of power. He must be a terribly lonely person, not knowing if he can trust anyone or they just want something from him.
Hi, excuse me. Just want to say, don't appreciate you rounding me up with the anti-semites. "We humans". No - those anti-semites, and us reasonable people. Wouldn't like to mix with them thanks. You can make whatever excuses you want for him, but that's what they are, excuses.
This is silly, don't stand on some high horse. If you don't think you have the capability to be unreasonable, you are delusional. Every single person on this planet is capable of evil, but majority luckily see that as a path that ends badly.
I think there's a bright bold line between me and the anti-semites and I think that you're doing the work of the anti-semites to pretend there's not. Everyone is capable of evil. Some people actually do evil things though and some people don't. The issue here isn't what people are capable of, it's what they're doing, and Elon Musk is endorsing crackpot anti-semitism on the platform he owns in the aftermath of the largest attack on Jews since the holocaust.
True, but it isn't worth a thief's time to steal things from me, so I'm less a target of dishonest people. Not zero target, but not a big target. Rich people because they have money are a larger target. Nobody would seek to marry me for my money - filing for divorce as soon as enough time has past to make it look like that wasn't their goal - a small number of people would do that and they seek out rich people.
He could give away 99.99% of his wealth, still never have to work another day in his life, and be much less of a target if he wanted to. Boo hoo the poor guy who has more money than almost anyone has ever had in the history of the earth has problems
If he gave away 99.99% of his wealth, that would tank the retirement accounts of millions of people, possibly have his life's work be taken over by some hedge fund ("introducing the Tesla Model V8, now with extra vroom-vroom!"), and then get sued by shareholders for the remaining 0.01%.
