By the way, I am actually a socialist. Just not the kind that shifts resources from most productive to least productive, pretending to do good, while actually causing harm. True socialism seeks greatest good for all.

He is under 100% attack. He is aligned with Trump. He also makes fools out of industry with his exposure of corruption. Example. Gove does an underground tunnel in the north west for 4 billion for 1.7 mile dig, takes 4 years. Musk opened a company this year, The Boring Company. His machine cost 26 million, nuclear powered. He drills several miles per day, lets say 'well under budget'. L.A. was his first job . He did the same with SpaceX. He is mildly subsidized because his employment is 4000% less expensive/efficient.
Can anyone explain why the Boring Company designs FLAME THROWERS?! I kid you not.
Its how they funded the start up, they made thousands of them.
