    Of course, if he wasn’t born wealthy he wouldn’t be who he is,

    Musk wasn’t always as completely off his hinges as he is right now, and I feel like at least half of the reason he got as bad as he did, is because he is constantly, 24/7/365, surrounded by yes men who do nothing but say how great and smart he is (and he has the money and power to ensure this always remains the case)

    Like he was always a bigot and kind of a dumbshit, but he didn’t become unhinged until a few years back.

    Which is why I think a hypothetical middle-or-lower-class Elon Musk would be just.

    … A mediocre internet user. Holds some bigoted opinions. Gets into fights on webforums and social media. Has a low-level job in tech doing something no one cares about for a company everyone hates.
