Introduction
The New York Times published an article titled, “Elon Musk Is a Problem Masquerading as a Solution“, [1] a statement that forms an appropriate introduction to this essay. The Times stated that companies like Twitter (and Tesla, SpaceX, et al) engaged in bullying and harassment in a way that brought out the worst in everyone, and that “Musk is the incarnation of these problems”, that his personal behavior both “reflects and shapes” the corporate environment. The New York Magazine agreed, in an article titled “Elon Musk Is Suddenly Drowning in Misconduct Allegations”. They referred to a lawsuit that claimed, “Musk knowingly and purposefully created an unwelcome hostile work environment based upon his conduct of interjecting into the workplace vile sexual photographs, memes, and commentary.” [2]
One former female employee wrote an article that began with “From the man who brought you TITS University, I present SpaceX”. She detailed Musk’s behavior as sadistic and abusive, a man who refuses to hold himself accountable for his promises, who pushes people to the brink of burnout, “and then sends threatening messages to remind them that their efforts will never be adequate”. [3]
The Times article went on to say that Musk not only has “a compulsive need to belittle people”, but to incite and encourage bullying of those people by his followers on social media, fully reflective of the bullying and harassment that accompanies such a large part of his human interaction and which shapes the outstandingly toxic environments of the companies with which he is, or has been, associated. Musk will not only personally attack others, but will encourage and support his social media followers to launch vicious attacks against these people.
Several people have published reports of being victimized by the most vile attacks by Musk followers, including death and rape threats. Many have abandoned their social media accounts due to these assaults. [4] One journalist wrote an account titled, “What It’s Like When Elon Musk’s Twitter Mob Comes After You“. [5] If they don’t leave voluntarily, Musk regularly deletes their accounts, especially of reporters revealing negative news about him personally or about companies like Tesla. This is much more than nothing. According to a study reported by CBS News, 27% of all online harassment in 2024 occurred on Twitter (X). [6] A significant part of that 27% was Musk followers attacking his critics.
When female employees complained about Musk’s intense and perverted sexual propositions, he ordered them to be fired, [7] as he has often done with those who simply disagreed with his position on something. [8] When the FAA fined SpaceX large sums for repeated safety violations and his exploding rockets, Musk used his DOGE authority to attempt to force the FAA to fire all their air traffic controllers. [9]
When a court rules against him and some of his fraudulent or illegal activities, Musk demands the judges be impeached and removed. [10] When a government agency charges Musk with illegalities, he launches lawsuits against the government. [11] When advertisers abandoned Twitter in droves because of Musk’s new sexually-explicit and otherwise offensive new content, Musk sued the advertisers for leaving. [12]
Musk has made enemies wherever he has gone, eventually being dismissed or removed from posts due to his irrationality, ridiculous obsessions, character flaws, sexual depravities and other perversions. He was fired from the precursor to PayPal, kicked out of the company. The SEC forced his removal as Chairman of Tesla. He has an embittered relationship with the executives of OpenAI. He incurred such hatred as Trump’s DOGE executive that he was quickly (and silently) “disappeared” from the position. The general public on all continents have come to despise the man, evidencing their contempt by vandalizing Tesla dealerships and burning Tesla cars all over the world.
Musk apologists are quick to excuse his psychotic behavior on the supposed “harrowing abuse Musk endured as a child”, claims which have no evidential support and are almost certainly false. The Los Angeles Times dismissed these abuse claims with the observation, “That narrative frame [of abuse] is practically a cliche, so often is it used to excuse the misbehavior of “great men”. It’s one of popular culture’s most insidious ideas. As long as we believe it, we’ll keep elevating bullies like Musk.” [13]
According to the Washington Post, experts who study leadership and the psychological dynamics of “followership” – especially with charismatic psychopaths – claim that people will simply “look past” the “unconventional behavior” even when it strays far outside most norms. [14] This process is called “cognitive tribalism”, where people seek out information that confirms their preferred belief about someone. “It’s much easier to minimize what he did than to change your perception of who he is.”
The Los Angeles Times carried an article discussing the observations of Oxford psychologist Kevin Dutton in his 2012 book “The Wisdom of Psychopaths“. It says Dutton defines psychopaths as “not necessarily violent or criminal but confident, charismatic, and ruthless,” [qualities which] “would seem to suit Musk perfectly”. [15]
Elon Musk is a demented bully, a sociopath whose combative nature instinctively and often overwhelmingly retaliates against anyone who confronts or challenges him, or who exposes his perverted behavior. Elon Musk is a classic case of a vindictive sociopath.
In the paragraphs below, I will provide the evidence for this assertion, as well as the powerful (if circumstantial) evidence of Musk being a genocidal fascist. And a dangerous one. You can form your own conclusions.
Elon Musk, the Vindictive Sociopath
First, let’s define our terms.
What does it mean, to be vindictive?
It means to be unforgiving, and with an unjustifiable and unreasonable desire for revenge. Such a person will be resentful, combative, mean-spirited and spiteful.
What does it mean, to be a sociopath?
Lack of empathy for people. Minimising the effect of our actions on other people
Callous and a lack of remorse for injuries to others
Act impulsively without considering, and without concern for, the consequences
Strong disregard for social norms
Chronic manipulation, gaslighting, denial and deceit
Attempt to gain power and control through aggression
Difficulty forming healthy relationships
Combativeness
Substance abuse (drugs, primarily)
We don’t require much research to learn that Elon Musk fits all these conditions more or less perfectly. There are almost no instances where Musk has been crossed or frustrated, or challenged, where he did not react in a spiteful way, seeking revenge. As one quick example, any women at Tesla or SpaceX who reported his sexual advances, were fired. As another, when the courts ordered his DOGE firings to be retracted, Musk demanded that the judges be impeached and removed.

In terms of empathy, or lack thereof, Musk paraded with a chainsaw to celebrate his firing of countless tens of thousands of people, individuals who were to lose their livelihood for no reason and through no fault of their own, but only for Musk’s misguided and ruthless policies. Did you read any reports of Elon Musk expressing compassion for the plight of all those newly-unemployed? Of course not.
If you speak to the president of any auto company, they will tell you that they avoid all political debate as they would a deathly plague. The reason is that politics is so emotionally-charged that the ideological divide is impassable. If the President of the Ford Motor Company claims his support for one presidential candidate, his company will immediately alienate about 50% of the US population who will swear to never buy another Ford product in their lifetime. His company would risk losing a full 50% of its potential customers overnight. Elon Musk not only threw his weight behind Donald Trump – who was hated by half the US population, but then paraded with his chainsaw to celebrate his enthusiasm for rendering unemployed huge numbers of innocent people. He probably alienated another 25% of the entire US population. Did he “Act impulsively without considering, and without concern for, the consequences?” I would say yes.
If you have 14 or 16 children by 8 different women, would that mean you have a “Strong disregard for social norms”? I would think so. Further, when you announce plans to build a mini-Muskville with houses so all these little tarts can live together in one happy harem, would that accentuate your disdain for “social norms”? If you are the CEO of a company, and spend your time wandering the halls asking female employees to “have my babies”, would that add to the assertion? I would say yes.
If you prove yourself to be a deluded, congenital liar, would that suffice as deceit? If people all over the world are savaging your showrooms and setting all your cars on fire, and you hold meetings with Tesla employees and investors and tell them “there’s no problem. Our future is incredibly bright”, would that qualify as denial?
If you attempt to gain control of PayPal, OpenAI, Tesla and Twitter, by aggression, fraud and deceit, would that qualify as manipulation? If you are fired from nearly every job you ever had, if maybe half of the people in the world hate you, and your only relationships with the opposite gender are sexually depraved, might that indicate “Difficulty forming healthy relationships”? I would think so.
If you are regularly consuming ketamine, LSD, cocaine, marijuana, magic mushrooms and more, might that indicate a drug problem? I would say yes.
Vindictiveness
Elon Musk and his “fan-boys” are so adept at attacking his critics that several professionals have been forced to abandon their social media accounts. One of these was a prominent robotics engineer who published the serious flaws in Musk’s “Self-Driving Mode” for Tesla cars. [16] Many other lesser individuals have had the same experience, especially women who are regularly subjected to the most vile and obscene insults for daring to criticise anything involving Elon Musk. When journalist Erin Biba wrote a story detailing the vicious abuse Musk and his followers inflict on female reporters, Musk immediately lashed out at her. [17] If they don’t leave Twitter voluntarily, Musk suspends their accounts. This has happened to prominent reporters from the NYT, CNN, the Washington Post, and many others. [18] Musk: “You dox, you get suspended. End of story, that’s it.” Vanity Fair wrote an excellent article titled, “Elon Musk’s Twitter Is Still Banning Journalists for Simply Doing Their Job”, recording Musk’s “punishing” journalists and news outlets in most cases capriciously and without logic or even apparent cause. [19]
Twitter and other Musk companies regularly – and illegally – retaliate by firing staff who register complaints with the company about Musk’s obscene behavior, or who make public any negative information about any of the companies. [20] Rolling Stone ran an article titled “Elon Musk, SpaceX Accused of Illegal Firings”. Musk had the staff fired for denouncing his sexual behavior in the company. The article stated that Musk “runs his company in the dark ages — treating women as sexual objects to be evaluated on their bra size … [and] if they don’t like it, they can seek employment elsewhere.” [21] The AP newswire carried another story titled, “Fired SpaceX employees sue the company for wrongfully terminating critics of CEO Elon Musk”. [22] CBS News ran similar stories. [23]
The vindictive retaliation against critics is very dishonestly masked by Musk and his companies. In one case, a group of SpaceX employees were fired for statements criticizing Musk’s depraved sexual behavior. SpaceX immediately announced that it investigated the complaints and that within 24 hours it had “terminated a number of the employees involved.” But what they didn’t tell us was that the “employees involved” who were terminated, were the women who made the complaints about Musk’s aberrant sexual behavior. [24] There are so many more of these reports. [25] [26]
When 50 of the top 100 advertisers fled Twitter en-masse because of the volume of new and objectionable content, Musk told all the advertisers to “F… off”, and launched lawsuits against them, including companies like Lego, Nestlé, Tyson Foods, Abbott Laboratories, Colgate-Palmolive, Pinterest and Shell International. He also launched lawsuits against NGOs that were monitoring Twitter’s new content, with at least one of these being forced into bankruptcy. [27] [28] It was even worse than this: there were strong indications that Elon Musk, with his new DOGE authority and his close relationship to Donald Trump, might use that authority to severely retaliate against these companies. Based on this, several advertisers had second thoughts and reinstated some of their advertising. [29] When California acted to enforce the state laws for social media content, Musk sued the State of California to have the laws struck down. [30]
When David LeBryck, the top US Treasury Dept Official, refused Elon Musk’s demands to gain access to the government’s vast payments system that contains all the sensitive information about taxpayers, Musk had him fired. [31] When the FAA fined SpaceX large sums for repeated safety violations, Musk used his DOGE authority to attempt to force the FAA to fire all their air traffic controllers. [32]
When news leaked that Elon Musk had been invited to meet with the US National Defense staff where they would discuss potential war plans with China, the meeting was not only denied – which means it was true – but Musk had a part in Pete Hegseth hunting down and firing every potential source of leaks. [33]
Tesla was desperately attempting to create a charging system for EVs that would be very quick and produce a substantial driving distance. Unfortunately, their best effort was about 40% inferior to that of BYD, so Elon Musk, in a fit of pique, resentment, and stupidity, fired the entire “supercharger team” of about 500 people. [34] [35] [36] He began trying to re-hire some of them several weeks later when he discovered he needed that department. [37] This was actually worse than it might seem, because much of the US auto industry had only just decided to use Tesla’s supercharger, suddenly learning it didn’t exist and might never exist. This apparently didn’t occur to Elon Musk when he decided to fire everyone.

Elon Musk’s vindictive retaliation seems to have no limits. Musk wanted to keep the birth of his 13th child a secret. When the news leaked out, Musk retaliated not against the mother but against the child, reducing his contractual child support by 80%. [38] [39]
One of the most vicious, and perhaps the most frightening, indication of the vindictiveness of this man surrounds Tesla, Musk’s DOGE activities, and the public response to those activities which was directed primarily against Tesla in vandalizing Tesla dealerships and burning Tesla cars. In response, Musk flooded the media with false claims about “terrorists” and “crazy people”, apparently unable to comprehend public revulsion to his actions. He took full advantage of his relation with Donald Trump, and threatened to have nearly the entire US government “go after” these Tesla critics. [40] He convinced Trump to prosecute the vandals as “domestic terrorists” and have the FBI create a special group solely to defend Musk’s cars from vandalism. [41] And, gravely escalating the threats and intimidation, Donald Trump chimed in to claim – absolutely without authority – that anyone vandalizing a Tesla car would receive a 20-year jail sentence and very possibly be sent to the “world’s worst prison” in El Salvador. [42]
Sociopathology
Perhaps the characteristic most obvious of Musk’s sociopathic nature is the capricious freedom with which he fires people. This isn’t only those who are critical of him; many become victims of his irrationality when circumstances don’t meet his expectations. But there is another category in which Elon Musk seems to enjoy firing people as an aim in itself, appearing to be almost a kind of game, and done absolutely without remorse or the slightest indication of the human damage he causes.
When Musk took over Twitter, within a few months he had fired a full 80% of the staff, foolishly claiming “You don’t need that many people”. And as the firings commenced, he told the staff to prepare for “extremely hardcore” working hours “at high intensity”. [43] It’s well-known that he destroyed Twitter in the process; Fidelity Investments wrote down the value of their Twitter shares by nearly 75% shortly after Musk took over, meaning the company lost more than $30 billion in value in only a few months. There resulted a massive lawsuit alleging that Musk and Twitter owed at least $500 million in severance pay to about 6,000 ex-Twitter workers under Federal law. [44] Musk didn’t seem to care.
And it isn’t only Twitter. Nor, as the UK Telegraph noted, Musk’s lust for destroying livelihoods doesn’t appear to have been sated. In early 2024, with falling sales, Musk announced that he was firing about 15,000 people at Tesla, “more than 10 per cent”. He fired the entire Public Policy unit, and much more.
Tesla was desperately attempting to create a charging system for EVs that would be very quick and produce a substantial driving distance. Unfortunately, their best effort was about 40% inferior to that of BYD, so Elon Musk, in a fit of pique, resentment, and stupidity, fired the entire “supercharger team” of about people. [45] [46] [47] He began trying to re-hire some of them several weeks later when he discovered he needed that department. [48]
It is by now no secret that Tesla sales have been plunging worldwide, and down by 50% in China. Musk’s desperation for sales has led to astonishing pressure on Tesla’s China sales staff, with the work environment and sales pressure becoming intense. Sales staff are expected to work 13-hour days, 7 days a week, with demands that each person sell at least one car every day, or be fired. It is so bad that in some Tesla dealerships the entire sales staff turns over every 6 weeks. [49] This is truly pathological.
And of course we have all seen Musk wearing his DOGE cap, prancing around with a chain saw, to celebrate the hundreds of thousands of individuals whose jobs he will soon eliminate, ruthless, remorseless, and clearly with no concern for the human carnage he is creating. If that isn’t pathological and psychotic, I can’t imagine what would be.
Sociopathology also rears its head in the toxic work environments that Musk has created at Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, not only for the sexual harassment but also the apparent rampant racism. Many news media and government organisations have commented on, and condemned the man for being “the incarnation of these problems”. As one example, black employees are addressed as “nigger” in Musk’s companies. Pathological.
Pathological also is Elon Musk’s “compulsive need to belittle people”. [50] We see this everywhere, in most, if not all, of Musk’s “public” interactions. There seems to be almost no one that he hasn’t insulted.
Musk very publicly insulted Germany’s President Frank-Walter Steinmeier by stating “Steinmeier is an anti-democratic tyrant! Shame on him.” [51] Musk then proceeded with his Twitter account to attack German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, calling him “stupid”. Musk posted in German on Twitter “Olaf ist ein Narr”, which translates to “Olaf is a fool”. He continued daily with these insults, slurring the Chancellor’s name and hoping Scholz would lose the election. [52] Musk also called Robert Habeck, Germany’s Vice-President and Minister of the Economy, a fool. [53] He continued his political attacks by supporting the far-right AfD party, thereby alienating yet a larger percentage of the German population. Musk then wonders why people tried to burn down his Tesla factory in Germany and vandalized the Tesla dealerships, and set all his cars on fire. Tesla’s sales in Germany plunged by nearly 75%, which Musk alternately ignores or blames on terrorists.
After Donald Trump’s idiotic proclamations about Canada being a US state, Canada’s Prime Minister said, “There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Canada would become part of the United States”. Musk immediately went public to try to humiliate him: “Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so it doesn’t matter what you say”. [54] Canada responded by removing Tesla from the list of EVs qualifying for purchase rebates, [55] and Tesla sales dropped by 70% in one month. According to Reuters, “Canada has frozen all rebate payments for Tesla and banned the electric-vehicle maker from future EV rebate programs”. [56] [57] As well, the premier of Canada’s largest province canceled the province’s contract with Musk’ Starlink, and the Deputy Prime Minister propose a 100% tariff on Tesla vehicles. There is no evidence that Elon Musk connected these dots.
Following his insults to Canada and its Prime Minister, and learning that Tesla would be excluded from Canada’s EV sales rebate program (up to $5,000 per electric vehicle), Musk doubled down and attempted a very large and brazen fraud: Suddenly, Canadian Tesla dealers (all owned by the Tesla company), reported massive sales of more than 8,600 cars in only one weekend, one Tesla store alone claiming 2,558 sales in a single Saturday. That would be one-quarter of Tesla’s total annual Canadian sales, all in only two days. The criminal investigation is continuing.
Then Musk decided to stick his nose into UK politics, offending almost everyone in the process. He first launched an attack on England’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, claiming he was a “national embarrassment” and saying Starmer “must go”. Musk blamed the foreign so-called “grooming gangs” on the Prime Minister, saying Starmer was “complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN” and should not only resign but should face criminal charges. [58] Musk then turned his attention to the Reform UK party leader, Nigel Farage, calling him the “only hope” for Britain. But when Farage refused to back Musk’s cry for activist Tommy Robinson’s release, Musk desperately urged the UK Reform Party to oust Farage as its leader.
The Brazilian government, with much apparent justification, accuses Musk’s “X” of spreading misinformation and creating false news to upset social stability in Brazil. [59] And there is no question that Twitter has become a highly political tool that Musk uses to try to sway political discourse around the world. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered an investigation into Musk over the dissemination of defamatory fake news and another probe over possible obstruction, incitement and criminal organization. Of course, Elon Musk replied in typical fashion. First, Musk called the judge “Brazil’s Darth Vader”, then accused him of suppressing free speech and violating Brazil’s constitution. According to CNN, “Musk had repeatedly attacked de Moraes on X in the months leading up to the ban, most recently calling him “Brazil’s Voldemort,” “Brazil’s Darth Vader,” and “an evil dictator.” He had also launched an X account dedicated to exposing alleged abuses of power by de Moraes.” [60]
The public attacks and insults apply equally to individuals, in so many instances lacking logic or reason, and certainly lacking human compassion. And these insults are so often juvenile and obscene. When one person commenting on Musk’s banning journalists by writing “you’ve got the impulse control of a toddler”, Musk replied by saying, “And you have tiny testicles!” [61] When Vernon Unsworth was arranging the rescue of 12 boys trapped for weeks in a Thailand cave, Elon Musk launched a foolish PR stunt claiming he could design and build a mini-submarine to rescue the boys, oblivious to the fact that they would be long dead before Musk could design or build anything. Unsworth dismissed the idea as unworkable. Musk was infuriated and launched a public attack calling Unsworth a pedophile. [62]
Peter Navarro, Trump’s senior trade counsellor, claimed Musk was merely a “car assembler” rather than a manufacturer. Musk responded by a vicious public attack, saying “Navarro is truly a moron. What he says here is demonstrably false. Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks.” [63] The White House Press Secretary dismissed it by saying “Boys will be boys”. [64]
During one DOGE meetings in the White House, Elon Musk and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had an argument about who was in control of the Internal Revenue Service, with the “discussion” ending in a heated shouting match, with Musk repeatedly telling Bessent to “F… off!”. According to one report, “The clash did not escalate into physical violence, but was loud enough to be heard in nearby offices, according to multiple sources. Witnesses said an aide had to physically step in between the two men to prevent the situation from intensifying.” [65] This is only one example of dozens of instances where Musk has tried to run roughshod over Cabinet Secretaries and senior civil servants, causing much resentment and serious clashes.
To add spice to the story, and for your entertainment, Karoline Leavitt, Donald Trump’s precocious little tart masquerading as White House Press Secretary, downplayed the incident, telling the New York Times that “disagreements are a normal part of any healthy policy process”. [66] In response, the NYT wrote an article exposing Karoline Leavitt’s propaganda tactics in the press room, their investigation stating Leavitt used strategically placed individuals, referred to as “planted stooges,” to facilitate the dissemination of propaganda during press briefings. [67] Not to be outdone, little Karoline called all the reporters ‘a**holes’. [68] I presume you can see the similarity in mental and moral disfunction shared by Trump, Musk, and Leavitt.
Musk tried to humiliate Keanu Reeves, but failed miserably, his arrogant attempt leaving a bitter taste in many mouths. [69] According to Business Insider, “Elon Musk hurled insults at Elizabeth Warren over her criticism of his taxes, saying she’s like a ‘friend’s angry mom’ who randomly yells for no reason.” [70] Musk announced an “incoming” lawsuit against Jamaal Bowman, a top Democrat lawmaker who accused Musk of being an ‘incompetent thief’ and a ‘Nazi’ during a CNN broadcast. [71]
Elon Musk in real life is vicious and insensitive as hell. He stupidly attacked a blind man who worked in the Project on Government Oversight and criticised Musk’s DOGE testimony to Congress. Musk immediately made a Twitter post that said, “Blind director of watchdog group does not see evidence of government waste”. He added foolish emotions to enhance the insults, and then Musk’s followers attacked the man en-masse, “pointing out how apparently hilarious it was that a blind man could not “see” government fraud”. [72] [73] [74] Yet the man’s only “sin” was to say that there already were groups dedicated to making sure that the federal government works efficiently.
Musk’s sociopathology applies very much to the use of the courts to intimidate, silence, and even bankrupt, his imagined opponents. “Elon Musk and his companies are embroiled in dozens of lawsuits, ranging from fatal crashes blamed on Tesla Inc.’s Autopilot system to civil rights complaints over the treatment of employees.” [75] A great many are initiated against Musk by private individuals, governments, government agencies, investors, shareholders, former employees, corporations, and others. And equally, Musk files lawsuits against all of these, and more.
As reported by Fortune Magazine, “In only one year, Musk alone or through his companies have filed at least 23 lawsuits in federal courts alone. He has sued competitors, startups, law firms, watchdog groups, individuals, the state of California, federal agencies, and a woman who is the mother of three of his children. He has been so legally aggressive that one judge decided his litigation was more about revenge than justice: “This case is about punishing the defendants for their speech.” And he apparently will not stop until he has bankrupted or otherwise silenced all detractors. One law professor wrote that Musk “wants to punish and has the ability to do that”, and will “litigate, appeal, and relitigate disputes until he wins”. Or, until his (smaller) opponent is bankrupt.” He appears to have been extraordinarily vindictive toward anyone criticizing his content moderation on Twitter, as well as to anyone challenging his (often questionable or fraudulent) business practices. [76]
Corporations being sued: Unilever, Mars, CVS, Orsted, Lego, Disney, Nestlé, Tyson Foods, Abbott Laboratories, Colgate-Palmolive, Pinterest, Shell International, Mars, World Federation of Advertisers, Media Matters, Global Alliance for Responsible Media. [77] And it isn’t only in the US. Musk carries his “intimidate and bankrupt” program toward individuals and small non-profits by launching lawsuits against them in various US States as well as in Australia, Ireland, the UK, and anywhere they have a presence. [78]
Elon Musk sued the Government of California to avoid transparency rules for social media companies, [79] he sued advertisers for fleeing Twitter after his takeover. [80] He even sued the Government of Sweden because they supported the strike against Tesla. [81] Even though Musk has no involvement with OpenAI, he launched a lawsuit against Sam Altman and Open AI for not following the path he (Musk) felt the company should take. [82]
Elon Musk has made enemies wherever he has gone, eventually being dismissed or removed from posts due to his irrationality, ridiculous obsessions, character flaws, sexual depravities and other perversions. He was fired from the precursor to PayPal, kicked out of the company. The SEC forced his removal as Chairman of Tesla. He has an embittered relationship with the executives of OpenAI. He incurred such hatred as Trump’s DOGE executive that he was quickly (and silently) “disappeared” from the position. The general public on all continents have come to despise the man, evidencing their contempt by vandalizing Tesla dealerships and burning Tesla cars all over the world. [83]
PayPal and Tesla
Contrary to the common narrative seemingly promulgated by everyone, Elon Musk was neither a founder nor a co-founder of Paypal. Max Levchin and Peter Thiel started a company named Confinity, and under this flag developed an online payment system they named PayPal. More or less simultaneously, Elon Musk began a similar company named X (what else?). The two firms were active competitors and draining each other’s resources, and they eventually agreed to merge. [84] Bill Harris, the man who was the CEO of Musk’s firm, X, was the person who deftly navigated the complex landscape and negotiated the merger between the two firms, ending up as the CEO of the new company. True to his sociopathic roots, one of Musk’s first actions after the merger was to force Bill Harris out of the company and take on the CEO post for himself. [85] Musk was himself fired soon after, for a host of very good reasons.
Also contrary to the common narrative seemingly promulgated by everyone, Elon Musk was neither a founder nor a co-founder of Tesla. Tesla, Inc. was founded by two American engineers, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, and was already producing electric cars when Elon Musk discovered it. Musk made an investment in Tesla with his proceeds from the sale of PayPal to E-Bay, and insinuated himself into the company. Once again, true to his sociopathic roots, one of his first acts was to force out one of the founders, with the other closely behind. [86] There was of course a contentious lawsuit, and an eventual private settlement. The original founders have since attempted to paper over their unpleasant Tesla experience, claiming now “It was the best and worst of times”. I suspect this false pleasantry is the result of the settlement contract terms from the lawsuit.
Genocidal Psychopath
From many examples as evidence of this character trait of Elon Musk, I will provide here only one. It should be sufficient. For background, it isn’t a secret that Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu are close friends. Musk travels often to Israel and he visits and stays at Netanyahu’s home.
I have written elsewhere that Elon Musk has created many hundreds, if not thousands, of videos on YouTube and elsewhere, pontificating on almost every imaginable topic – except one. That one topic is the genocide in Palestine. It seems that Elon Musk’s only contribution to the information on the slaughter in Gaza was an admonition where he pleaded with Twitter users to “stick to the facts”, as both he and Twitter were under “heavy criticism for the spread of false information.” [84a] The “false information”, of course, was the Jewish version being widely spread on Twitter and other social media.

It wasn’t reported in the Western media, but news sources in Israel revealed clearly Elon Musk’s position on the genocide in Gaza. The Times of Israel carried an article describing Musk’s tour of the Gaza border with Netanyahu and saying that Israel had “no choice” but to destroy “Hamas” – which is a euphemism for killing all Palestinians. [85a] And in fact, Musk more or less said precisely that: in an article in the Israel National News, Musk is quoted as saying that “Those people either need to be killed or incarcerated”. [86a] You can’t be plainer than that.

And Elon Musk was more than willing to help in that killing. It wasn’t widely reported in the West, but Musk arranged for his Starlink service to be used against Gaza, [87] in much the same way that Google (also Jewish) arranged for Israel’s full use of Google’s AI to help target any and all resistance in Gaza. [88] [89]
You will recall the “wartime” speech given by Netanyahu to the US Congress, in which he received 55 standing ovations, [90] some lasting longer than one minute. [91]

Something else that wasn’t circulated in the Western media was that Netanyahu did not attend that Senate event alone or with only a few bodyguards. He was given express permission to bring a few of his “closest friends” to the Senate Chamber to hear his speech. And among these chosen “close friends” was none other than Elon Musk. Here is a photo of Musk giving one of his 55 standing ovations to the genocidal speech of his good friend Benjamin Netanyahu. Below that is a photo of Elon Musk chatting with Netanyahu’s wife after the speech:
As I wrote earlier, you can form your own conclusions.
