"Hmmm.... It's really hard to say... On one hand, we have someone responsible for many toxic comments and massive loss in a company value. On the other hand we have someone responsible for millions of death. I really cannot decide which one is worse."
That's really ignoring all the direct nasty stuff Musk did.
I know we live in a childishly partisan world now but musk isn't even close to the same level as Hitler. He's far from even being the worst current American ceo if we're actually honest about reality, the guys a dick but we can say that without pretending he's especially exceptional.
In actual negative impact on society, his companies are really no worse than any other big tech company, IMO. He just puts himself in the public spotlight more than the other CEOs.
