An interesting personality. Though with his level of wealth, it's difficult to truly get a feel for what motivates his actions and rhetoric. Whether neurologically based or not.
One thing I've surmised over the years is how amusing those with excessive wealth tend to speak- and act.
From inspirational visionaries and bizarre eccentrics to disgusting autocrats. And perhaps on occasion a little of both.
Given the production Hell he went through in 2017, '18, and '19 with Tesla on the verge of bankruptcy, while relentless Wall Street short sellers were bound and determined to crush the company stock, the corrupt SEC holding him financially hostage,...and all the difficulties with repeated SpaceX rocket failures, etc. He has demonstrated himself more a determined visionary,...and less a capitalist. The billions of dollars he has donated to world hunger, the huge battery banks he donated to Australia and other parts of the world, and his desire for freedom of speech and truth, the satellite systems he shipped over to Ukraine, etc. shows he cares about more others than himself. Furthermore, there is an interesting TEDx talk where his ex-wife had nothing but praise for what he is doing for humanity,...how she had to let him go because he belonged to the world,...how his children are proud of him. What ex-wife says things like this? His current girlfriend says similar things like, them sharing a $40,000 house, and him not wanting to buy a mattress after it got a hole in it, to eating peanut butter sandwiches for a week, not having a security entourage, and so on.
I think people get so wrapped up in the superficial title of "the worlds richest man" when literally, nearly all his money is tied up in his companies. Talk to the people who are closest to him and they consistently tell others despite the money on the books, he really doesn't throw it around like others with even a fraction of his income, he just doesn't have access to it,...and if he does throw it around, he has a vision for something better for all of us, not just himself.
I also think many put their values upon him,...which says more about us, than Elon. Well, if I had this much money I would do this or that,...therefore, he must be this way as well. Some people see the extremely wealthy flaunting their money,...again, assuming Elon is the same way. Senators Warren and Sanders falsely accusing him,...simply because he wealthy, of not paying his fair share of taxes,...when in reality he is being taxed at a 53% rate,...and paid billions last year,...well more than the two of them combined,...probably more than the entire House and Senate combined. All of this is horrible thinking error that leads to a mischaracterization.
He gets smeared in the media by both the left and the right-wing, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, for a bunch of stupid things,...mostly false accusations,...and yet he continues on his forward path. "Oh he's Evil."...Based on what? Nothing, other than he has more assets than anyone else. This "evil" person is actively trying to make our lives better, and all people want to focus on is his assets and then want to smear him for it. Well, it takes HUGE ideas and a HUGE amount of money to do HUGE things to change the world,...and time is of the essence,...but so many are too superficial to understand, and don't have a clue. If governments are not willing or able to make those changes, then Elon it is. As a person with Asperger's, I guess he's used to the bullying and false interpretations of his thoughts and actions,...and I can, in my own way, relate.
Like so many of us with Asperger's, we are misunderstood by many,...but he is a singularity within the human race and I will support his vision.
