Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my own actions.

Do you guys think there's a part of him that realizes that people dislike him for a legitimate reason? I mean, he started out being the darling of the internet, when he was in the early stages with SpaceX and Tesla. His cult of personality was pretty large. Obviously he still has fanboys, but he has to realize that he ended up on the fringe, right? Right?
-
No way in hell. He thinks everyone is just jealous, not realizing that most of us don't want the problems that come with being ultra-rich, we just think he is a spoiled brat.
-
I'd take a billion dollars though. Live out my life without ever needing to worry much about anything.
It's that egotistical need to use that money to exert power to control people that I'm not interested in.
-
A billion is way too much. 5 to 10 million is all anyone needs to retire. I can see maybe "needing" 25 million if your hobby is racing cars. More than that is just needless hoarding.
-
Yeah, but in real life I'm Nicholas Cage and I gotta buy a bunch of crazy shit. Couldn't possibly retire on anything less than $800 million!

Agreed. Take the money and do your own thing. Or better yet, help people that want to be helped.

I think if it took him as long as it did to figure out people liked him, it's going to take at least that long for him to realize they don't.
Then again with the obvious ego boost of the first part of that, the question then becomes: even if and when he does realize it, will he care?
I look forward to the day his story is a cautionary tale.
-
I would think so. But at this point, he has made his choice. Don't think a baby face turn is in the cards. Might as well become Emperor Palpatine at this point.
-
If Musk is Palpatine, then is Zuckerberg Snoke? Does Musk have a jar full of Zucks like in that mess of a Star Wars movie?

Not if he's surrounded by yes men, which I'm sure he is.
-
He's surrounded by his own, privately owned and operated, yes-social media platform
-
He's basically Darth Vader at the end of the prequel series.
