When an unelected person is as powerful as Musk, almost anything he does is newsworthy. It may be nothing, or it may be a warning about the way he will conduct himself when wielding his influence.
In this case, it mostly tells us that he doesn't abide by commonly-held moral and professional standards.

- smt88 4y agoSo only unscrupulous people succeed, right? That's what you're implying. You assume I care about Musk's success. Being unethical is a big part of it, sure. But if I could choose for Musk to be a failure, I would. He hasn't done anything that benefited me, and now he's determined to do things that are actively harmful (removing safeguards at Twitter, pushing "FSD" alpha software onto roads, supporting authoritarian politicians in the US).
