I was negative about Musk from almost the beginning - but it's because he's a representative of the kind of delusional, investor-story-time silicone valley that shouldn't work, but does, because investors keep on bankrolling it.

It's extremely annoying watching him in interviews, saying stuff like his biggest advantage is his physics training, when the real reason why he was successful is a combination of luck, media savvy, and (most importantly) incredibly wealthy family.

So, while his goals are broadly admirable - his personality is so obnoxiously delusional that it reflects badly on the entire society that believes in it.
