My take on him is he is a visionary pragmatist, or an sociopathic opportunist, they're kinda different sides of the same coin. He has a clear goal that is is pursuing at all costs. In order to get there, he looks at the world as it is and figures out how best to leverage that world to get what he wants. He's not out trying to change the world or usher in global communism like Gates et al, but he has no problem abusing a fucked up system to get what he wants. Now that he's seeing that the system he's been taken advantage of is on the brink of getting blown up, he's out speaking against the NWO.
I think you're spot on with the pragmatist. I can't say I'm his biggest fan. From my perspective most of his success has come through playing a game I've been rebelling against most of my adult life. However, when it came down to his success vs the best thing for humanity he pushed back at potentially great cost to himself and his current status. That is definitely commendable.
Am I the only one that is okay with abusing a f***ed up system? I mean Trump did too. If the games rules are broken and tends to hurt the average player but you have to play, might as well make the best of it.
FWIW I wasn't making that statement as a moral judgement one way or the other, but you're right. Only a fool ignores reality while living in it. Libertarians and government subsidies are the classic example. On the one hand you believe that any government subsidize are evil. On the other hand, if you live by your principles and reject all government subsidies, you are at a competitive disadvantage and will never get anywhere. It's not hypocritical to accept reality so that you can function in it while simultaneously arguing that the system is broken and should be fixed.
Not even close. The richest documented people are not even a 1/5 a trillionaire yet (I think Bezos is 100-200B) but the royalty who keep their wealth off books can exceed an estimated 1 trillion.
he is probably worried about his $$ like the rest of us.
He has profited from the bs of the mess...but he is not blind to other aspects. He's been walking that line for quite a while.

Could very well be the case. But free internet?
he's made close to 100 billion dollars during* this whole mess. if it was about the money i figure he'd totally align himself with the globalists.
when your that rich, money probably isn't something you think about. trump said as much back in the 80s. other things motivate you.
for now, i choose to believe musk is just one of the extremely few good guys in the billionaire class.
When you launch your own car into space for the lulz, that's a pretty clear indicator of a good guy, tbh.
EXTREMELY few
Uh... no he is already the richrst man in the world
no the oligarchs in Russia.. those guys have money. Elon might be up there in recorded money but no where near close in back room money.
Could be...

The richest man in the world was a Chinese billionaire who was “disappeared” according to Hunter Biden.
