A wonderful investigative report by you, Diane! I had heard parts of this, but you have put these puzzle pieces together. It seems that being called out does have an effect on Elon. (I'm hopeful that he is capable of coming around to working for good as opposed to simply emulating the barons of greed like the Koch brothers.)
I find it a moral challenge how some can view intensive human suffering with stone cold hearts. The killing of innocents and turning a culture into rubble as we witness now both in Ukraine and Gaza must challenge all to know that evil is being committed. First, stop killing. Elon seems to comprehend this choice. Next, reveal all motivations behind these deadly assaults. We see Putin's determination to take what is not his to take. And, we see the Israeli Settlers' determination to take what is not theirs to take.
The old saying 'what goes up, must come down', may apply to this looney-tune. Also, money corrupts & we've seen that come to pass for decades. Greed never wins as well. Me thinks that Musk has a limited time of this theatrical control. Soon, someone will find a way to destroy his empire with 'new' technology. Sooner than later would be nice lol. Excellent article Diane - I do feel such pain for UKR. They've been the victim of politics for too long.
Very Nice Article. Beyond Musks erratic behavior Musk needs the attention even when he talks stupid. Problem many look at him as some kind of tech genius. He really is not. Anyone with billions behind can do anything they want. What will happen if another person becomes much richer than him will Musk take a tantrum . You are not dealing with a grown man more to a adult child. Musk will go to Russia because Putin praises him which boast Musk's ego. Many are right at some point he will do more stupid and down goes the business.
Spot on... calling a spade a spade and a mendacious musk a menace. It turns out that, technolgy aside, his personality is very much in alignment with Trump's.
Thanks again for your superb reporting on significant issues that affect so many innocent people. As the old saying goes, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely”.
With power and money concentrated in so few people around the World, their terse for power only grows exponentially, especially when connectivity allows them to be so globally effective. Elon Musk proved that he might be an unstable genius and depending on whose side he’s on, he could be outsmarted or simply make a mistake in judgement. I agree with Elizabeth Warren especially when his largest client might be the US government, at least for the time being. His ego might be clouding his judgement, especially after the Twitter debacle.
Very revealing. Capitalism at its worst and I am not left-wing. Wonder how Musk made his money Diane? Obscene for one man to be so rich and now so dangerous. Needs to be reined in by the Pentagon or by law.
Obscene for sure. I ask why any one person should have or control more than $1 billion. Or pick your number. $2 billion, whatever. The brazen immorality of having as much money as Musk and others have (including the three top guys at Hamas!) - while millions are starving and have inadequate drinking water is obvious to anyone with one empathetic bone in their body. Time for a financial revolution.
The worst aspect of American capitalism and its ingrained support for wealthy individuals. I think worship of now proven fascist Trump is also largely based in his ill gotten gains. Now also his illegal behavior. Tesla cars a product of climate change lobby panic and material for batteries is extracted from the earth causing big environment damage.
Yes. I concur with Mr. Paul in his earlier comment. Seems as though the man in question is incredibly capable in certain areas. Agreed, but the flip side is looking more and more like the scenario we see in Stanley Kubricks classic “How I learned to love the Bomb” . One could imagine a modern
day version with EM riding shotgun as did Slim Pickins character…the ultimate catastrophic reality of a space age cowboy.
Get out the “lasso tool”.
Thanks again Diane for putting the pieces together of this humanitarian horror.
I appreciate learning more about what has so far transpired with Musk re Ukraine and Russia. Since Musk’s desire seems to be attention, people could praise him for the ways he has so far been helpful to the interests of on

Keep going Diane!
-going life. Thank God Elizabeth Warren and some others jumped on this and the Pentagon took the decisions in this area out of Musk’s hands.
Musk is a smart lucky techy on the spectrum with absolutely no capacity to relate to any form of the human condition.
I believe given enough time he will self destruct .. “ at the hand of his own sword”

Extras always thank you
Thank you, Diane for another good look into a useful idiot.
Oddly, of late I've been getting ads to sign up for
Starlink. Not on your life Musk!
