No, he isn't. For every Musk criticizer there are way more cult fans who applaud him for every comment or tweet he makes. We have to thank him for disrupting the car industry towards a zero-emission future. But there's where Tesla got stuck. There's more, but I will leave it that. Below: when the power grid is down and your solar panels have all melted, you are stuck in your kWh hungry survival mode Cybertruck. We need to lower our kWh intake, particularly since the bulk of our electricity is still generated by burning fossils. Musk couldn’t care less. As a matter of fact, it sounds like he’s looking forward to the Apocalypse (start at 2:50 m), his thoughts probably already some place halfway to Mars.

But I guess, reading your piece, that many have their own version of who Musk is (to them).
