Musk has been described by his former partner as someone who lives "below the poverty line" - do you know musk better than his ex-girlfriend? He reportedly works 120h/wk regularly. Do you spend that many hours working? I certainly don't and I would never describe someone who did as "living a lavish lifestyle". As for the allegations, I don't know how that pertains to him living a lavish lifestyle as literally anyone at any income bracket can both commit crimes and/or have crimes alleged against them and seems to only serve as your point of trying to defame musk for whatever reason. Lastly, you didn't even address the main point, which is that being a billionaire does not make you "suck".

> Musk has been described by his former partner as someone who lives "below the poverty line" - do you know musk better than his ex-girlfriend? How many people living below the poverty line do you know who happen to live in a friend's lavish waterfront mansion in Austin, Texas? https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-says-he-lives-in-a-50-000-house-he-doesnt-talk-about-the-austin-mansion-11640188548 https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-says-he-lives-in-a-50... It's very easy to sell off your 7 luxury mansions including your family mansion in Bel Air when you can just live in any luxury mansion without your name on it. The only people who fell for the spartan shtick are gullible fans who want to believe a myth and the IRS.

  or maybe the only people who accuse partners of lying are just jealous people who can't fathom the idea of having excessive wealth and not living excessively. Your article is paywalled but I don't know anyone who is making the claim that musk refuses to do luxurious things - only that it's evidently not his priority to have a life of luxury. How many hours a week do you work?

This doesn't square with this recent story: > The business mogul [Elon Musk] was seen with Australian actress Natasha Bassett, enjoying a meal together at a very expensive hotel, where rooms cost upwards of $1,300 (£1,030) – wow. source: https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/31/elon-musk-seen-for-first-time-with-new-love-interest-natasha-bassett-16746053/ https://metro.co.uk/2022/05/31/elon-musk-seen-for-first-time...
