> Musk has done genuinely pioneering work in electric vehicles and rocketry. [...] That he also goes a bit crazy on Twitter doesn't really take away from any of that. If you look at it from the perspective of someone who likes Musk, then he's the lynchpin of Tesla and SpaceX which are advancing humanity, every other company's EV and self-driving features are only because he lit a fire under them; and the stuff he's doing with his money is much more exciting than other billionaires like Larry Ellison. But from the perspective of someone who doesn't like Musk, it's engineers/ scientists/ programmers doing all the real work; 90% of Musk's promises remain undelivered; and his contribution to each company is so minor he can 'lead' five companies at once and still has so much free time he wants to buy a sixth. And if seeing him be an asshole to that diver is what changes you from one perspective to the other?...
