    Maybe Elon Musk has a lot on his shoulders and we should all cut the dude a little slack

        On top of that, he's trying to make the world objectively better. He's not trying to build the next addictive platform for people to waste endless hours on, he's building shit that is super ambitious and awesome. The world would be lucky to have more Elon Musks.

        I think it's a framing problem. Most don't view $1B+ USD as a kind of public trust. I.e. Society gives/permits you access to that much capital because they believe you can allocate it the most optimally. If you assume capitalism is zero-sum, all billionaires are de facto evil.

        "assume capitalism is zero-sum" is the economics equivalent of a spherical cow.

        It's not about Elon. He's just a Rorschach test that critics can't resist. Insecurities and a sense of inadequacy on parade.https://twitter.com/RockyPruitt/status/1030889388149010433 …

        Remove individual from equation. Test objectives. If valid support them. Reason's not a cult. Behavior is easy to understand. See Munger's 25 cognitive biases. Numbers 2 & 3 are strongly at play here. @elonmusk's objectives are sound. Short's are not. http://25cognitivebiases.com/

        It would help if he wasn’t trying to save the world, establish a new one AND everyone wasn’t trying to take him down simultaneously because they can’t see through his billions

        He works 120+ hours a week. He hasn’t taken a weekend off since 2001. He has no friends and no system of emotional support. He has to maintain a sparkling image on social media because, to investors, his health and stability determine the long term health of the company.

        People like that put themselves in that position. It doesn't mean they don't deserve sympathy. "If you just knew how to live life differently you could've done the same and more" is great but hindsight is 20/20. I hope he survives this, really learns and builds again & again.

        A lot of people fear for his mental stability due to over work. Then again a lot of people haven’t tried to run 4 companies at the same time. The stress he must go through is unimaginable to most people.
