I don't get the fuss..He was born into wealth, piled on early to the electric car (kicking one of the two actual inventors out), does histrionic stuff with sinks etc. and posts a lot online.
He probably has a certain shrewdness wrt business deals and even there look at Twitter..I was never on Twitter-doesn't look appealing-but from what I can tell, such as it was, he pretty much broke it.
The adulation he gets seems ott.

Anyway he seems prepared to single handedly "repopulate" an already overcrowded planet groaning under resource wars (too..damn..many..people and mostly wanting too damn much-when it is an option anyway-not that I am not guilty of consumerism, though I do try..the planet cannot take it and the humans don't seem to exactly be getting along, but according to geniuses like Musk underpopulation is the real issue. Of course except for people like me, no one thinks about the effects on non-human life* which is always at the receiving end of our species' destructive trek through space and time)...the Trump of the tech world..Shrug..

*: We are basically turning the planet into one large garbage pile (not that anyone notices or cares)
