- ollien 5y agoI know the point you're trying to make, but I can't imagine that even the largest Elon Musk fanboys would disagree that he's divisive. At best, I can imagine them saying it's not his fault and people overreact, but that's still recognition of the divisiveness.
- deltarholamda 5y agoWhy is Elon described as divisive? Because it sounds bad. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was never described as divisive, though she was objectively more divisive than a rich guy who makes cars and rocket ships and flamethrowers. Antonin Scalia was described as divisive, so the argument can't be made that SC justices are somehow different. It's a rhetorical trick that's been used for many decades. It's obvious, and it's tiresome.

- smachiz 5y agoThose are not antonyms. I don't think most people would argue that Musk isn't a visionary. I also don't think most people would argue that Musk isn't divisive.
