Just one thing to add about his increasingly unhinged tweets - Musk is demanding California's stay-at-home order ends so his workers can go back to work, but it's not like he's scraping by, his net worth is estimated to have gone up by $1bn in the last month

The only two terms I've ever muted on twitter are "Elon" and "Musk". My apologies to all the non-Musk Elons and maybe the ferret people that I'm missing out on but I've never regretted it.

Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Trump, Gates are all supervillains... but where are the superheroes?

Some tech-bros seem to have a better outlook on this. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/stories-51332811

This is a guy that Rush Limbaugh got so upset with, he called for the business to fail (a CEO paying his staff a living wage & taking a pay cut himself is ‘socialism’ apparently)

I think I prefer this BBC news story that claims the internet is unsustainable. As such, your average tech-bro (even a socialist one) is still a villain, though admittedly a minor-league one compared to the likes of Musk and his ilk. This is due to the fact all tech-bros (and gals) make a living by killing the planet with their digital trash. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/stories-51742336/dirty-streaming-the-internet-s-big-secret
