Whether you love or hate him, there’s no doubt that Musk has never had to truly answer for his less-than-tasteful comments on a variety of issues, using his platform to rile people up instead of truly using his influence to make a difference. As the richest person in the world, with a net worth of $200 billion, he’s free from worrying about paying fines, owning up to his controversial comments, and using his wealth to squash the narrative of those who oppose him. He effectively bends reality to convince others that he isn’t wrong, and god forbid anyone disagree. According to a former Tesla executive, “Elon has an uncanny ability to tell a story he wants to be true, convince himself that it has to be true, and then convince others.” —————————————————–
