    I mean, he is pushing a lot of good tech forward. He is also fighting against bureaucracy and for freedom of speech.

      I would agree that some of his businesses are doing well, but I would give more credit to the scientists and engineers making it happen. We found out shortly after the election that he had almost no involvement in SpaceX lately in fact.

      He does get some credit for actually gathering those people and starting the companies sure, however all the insane things he’s done and is doing have really heavily undercut all of it for most people, myself included. I was a fan of his until he completely without evidence accused some diver of being a pedophile just because they didn’t want to use his awful “submersible” to rescue those Thai children years back.

        He didn’t start any of his companies, he just bought all of them (maybe the exception is the boring company)

          Do you honestly believe SpaceX, Neuralink, Tesla etc. would be where they are today if it wasn’t for Elon? If you say yes - I’m sorry but you have no idea what you on about.

        He is doing so, so, so much. If we didn’t have Elon to manage all these companies - they would be nowhere near where they are today. It’s a no-brainer fact.
