    it was before he was an actual celebrity and was only known for creating Tesla/SpaceX. He was also “only” a millionaire and well before Tesla stock went nuts, and he also wasn’t posting like crazy on Twitter so people only knew him via Tesla and SpaceX’s achievements, both of them legendary underdogs looking to overthrow the well-established big industry corporations.

        what? The “left” has always been the side of revolutionary upstarts and underdogs. The right is the conservative, old guard, established players.

        you’re literally trying to rewrite history just to try to hate Musk a little more

          It’s okay… you can just admit you don’t have the foggiest clue what it is you are talking about.

          You can’t fix something if you don’t even admit to it, yes?

            Of course they can; someone on the right has always been right and could never admit to not being right.
