He's a true hero of mine. He may not be the nicest guy to work for, but everything he's doing, from SpaceX getting humans to Mars and elsewhere more cheaply, to Tesla trying to clean up the air a bit, to battery storage, satellite internet, solar roofs, AI... I mean everything he does is to improve humanity's condition on this earth, and he's smart enough to do it. I can't think this "bad guy" enough.

I admire this guy .He chose to sell PayPal and use the money for what he thought would benefit everyone ,and the environment . Electric cars ,Space X,better quality batteries to store electric from solar energy etc.If money was his concern he could have kept PayPal or retired after selling it and lived very Comfortably for the rest of his life .

Well, he is cleaver at some things but a twat at other. Nobody can be someone who is okay at everything in life.

I admire his drive and the fact that he has created the space company he did, but he definitely is not “my darling”. In fact, I decried his very stupid decision of sending one of his cars into space in a trajectory that could one day slam the stupid car into Mars. This is an unforgivable sin because he did not sterilized the car before sending it up, and if it ever gets to Mars surface, it will contaminate Mars’ surface with Earth’s microbes. A very, very, very stupid thing to do. Every single prove that has been sent to Mars has been thoroughly sterilized, precisely to avoid contaminating that planet. And now, a stupid billionaire, just because he can, is placing the endeavor of discovering if Mars has or ever had life, in peril. Imagine ever finding life in Mars... that we planted there!!! Not to mention the danger in which any indigenous life on Mars would be when exposed to germs from Earth!

Howard Hughes was smart, and look how he turned out...

The only thing I know about Elon Musk is what I read and that is primarily about SpaceX. I try not to pay any attention to gossip, rumors, or someone's personal opinion. I do not know the man and have no opinion of him one way or another. I do wish him success in his SpaceX ventures.

If there is an ideal man...Elon is it. All dude thinks about is math, science and probably sex. Did I say too much?

Yeah no.why is he evil? His SpaceX rocket burns which I have personally seen are breathtakingly gorgeous. Like stop your heart gorgeous!.. I'm sorry but all those brains are super sexy. Dude is smart and I'm a sapiophile. Brains are hot and not in zombie ( I wanna eat 'em) way.

He does seem rather off his rocker. Not all together there.

What’s he done that is so bad?

I have no real opinions of Musk as I do not know much about him.

And I don’t know if he is a bad guy, but I don’t think his actions speak for the good of humanity as much as they do for his own profit and benefit.

I don't have enough money to know or care who Elon Musk is.

Something about a car, something about a baby - I dunno, it's just noise to me.

Oh, I realized he was an asshole as soon as he decided to move a factory from California to Texas. And that crap about flying his friends into space. Most of that money he's got, that belongs to his employees.

He is a goofball. Brilliant in some ways but dumb in others. His brilliance could shine more had he not that awful ego. From what I have heard he is a troll on twitter. Guess he lives by the adage that any press is good press.

All i know is he is spending lots of foolish money putting all these little satellites trips to mars. Polluting space as they do it. We have to many here that need taken care of instead of being a rocket man...
I think he is being ignorant to our reality.
As far as an evil bastard goes, whatever....i cannot say that since i don't know much about him.
I just do not like clutter and he is cluttering, i do not like the prospect of starving people and that rockets and satellites are more important.

Okay

My mom loves the guy!

People coming down on both sides of his decision to reopen his factory before he gets the governor's approval. Let's see if people show up for work and if he gets arrested tomorrow.

I remember when trump was a "darling democrat" so what's your point? And he behaved as an atheist all his life... even now!!!

I don't know yet whether or not he's a bad guy, but I do think that he might be losing his marbles. Which is a shame, because at the moment, he's the closest thing that we have to Bruce Wayne.
