As someone who is “left” we’ve never liked him. He’s always been an over privileged asshole bully born with a silver spoon and a lack of brains.

What we liked was the original EV that he tried to stamp his name on… the original Tesla roadster. That Tesla, however was only bought out (by getting enough Stock to have a controlling share) by and eventually mass produced by Elon. He didn’t found Tesla that was Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard.

I’d you read their Guiding principles, you can see how Elon trashed it… just like he’s doing with X. Except he was able to at least get the engineers to make something sorta useful with Tesla. Instead of firing them all like he did X.. we’ll, sorta, there were massive layoffs at Tesla as well.
