Yeah, it seems to me like the classic artist-vs-the-art debate. Let's be honest, the guy IS rather brilliant in multiple fields and he's built large, effective organizations whose output is head and shoulders above everyone else. He's can also be an obnoxious ass with a juvenile sense of humour. If he were to turn out to be <insert vile thing here> tomorrow, the rockets will still land the Model3s will still be safer and more efficient than their competition.
FWIW, I fall on the "art" side of this debate. I didn't think highly of Jobs, but I still got the OG iPhone, MBPs, etc. I often wish Musk would STFU, but I still love driving my Model 3 and I'm saving up to buy a ticket on Starship.
- travisoneill1 6y ago"brilliant in multiple fields and he's built large, effective organizations" vs. "obnoxious ass with a juvenile sense of humour" I'm shocked at how often I see people put these on an equal level. We forgave our last rocket guy for being a literal nazi.

Though the 60's compared with today's social standards would yield many difference for the better. Heck, many in the 60's would be in for one heck of a culture shock if they suddenly time jumped into today. That all said - "We forgave our last rocket guy for being a literal nazi." is just begging for a Farside cartoon. Made me laugh.
