He’s not very constrained by morality, which would probably be a common theme of effective businessmen. He is not truthful, treats people as disposable tools, encourages human rights violations and environmental destruction to access resources. Sure, he is effective at making money but not in a way that I can admire

How long have you had this opinion of Elon? Was it before or after he purchased Twitter?

Before. I’ve never been interested in Twitter. Did that affect your opinion of him?

I started to doubt his integrity around 2018 when I got deep into 3D printing and realized a lot of his statements about the technology didn’t make sense. For sure he has engineers that have accomplished great things in all his projects, but I started feeling like he was just a good speaker without a lot of substance to back it up. Over the years, this feeling has grown.

I was skeptical before he purchased Twitter. He said free speech was important to him and he demonstrated it by acquiring Twitter. Big fan of Elon.

There’s talk since he acquired it of Twitter suspending journalist accounts and such, do those reports seem accurate to you? Like I said I really don’t follow what’s going on with Twitter

Those rumors are not accurate. Probably lies spread by left wing corporate media. These same journalists who said they would quit Twitter have all come back. I wish they kept their word.
