> Berlusconi did some good things policy wise but ended up facing a system that doesn't want to change. as Italian: Berlusconi is a convicted felon who got into politics to fix his problems with the criminal law and mostly succeeded. he was the first one not wanting to change anything in Italy. He basically stalled my Country for 25 years, because that system got him where he is today. Only a fool would kill the golden goose. Trump is trying to do the same. it's not a judgment on their political affiliation, which I oppose, but that's not the issue here. the issue is they are very bad men, with very bad ideals, not surprisingly both of them admire dictators and totalitarian leaders. Berlusconi is still bragging, still today, about his close friendship with Putin. Musk is just not a political leader, yet, but as a influencial personality in the tech space his behaviour has been not very dissimilar from the other two. Using his influence to convince people to support things that would only benefit him? check Bullying competitors? (via twitter) check Bullying critics? (via twitter) check addressing other leaders like a tugh in a street fight? check seriously, this happened for real!

If Elon Musk succeeds to relieve Twitter from his reliance on ads and convince enough people to actually pay for the service, making it a real product, that would make him a great entrepreneur with very bad manners, but still a bad human who is gambling with people's lives and careers just to prove a point.
