    I was going to say maybe he’d be less rich cuz a big problem with asshole behavior is greed and not paying a living wage and hoarding BUT then in not being an asshole he’d also be using up less money irresponsibly to hurt and annoy others.

      He was rich anyway though. If he actually gets starship to work (and he will because basically the hard part has been solved it now just needs scaling) he will be the richest human alive he doesn’t need to be an asshole to do that.

      However I do think that Tesla is a bit of a boondoggle at this point, there are better electric cars out there now. But they change the industry they forced the industry to develop electric vehicles because they otherwise wouldn’t have done.
