Elon Musk Villain or Hero?

There are some questions we need to ask ourselves before idolizing men or mankind. It requires a person to be humane and have empathy and a little bit of kindness to be a good person. Among earning billions and having the tesla roadster, giving back to the society is important?

Is Elon nice to his family? Strangers and employees?

Hm? According to his first wife, when they were dancing at their wedding, Elon had said “I’m the alpha in this relationship. If you were my employee, I would fire you”

Food for thought.

Is he trying to make the world a better place? Are SpaceX, Tesla, SolarCity, Neuralink, and the Boring Company actively working toward society’s improvement? Can we rest assured they’re not clubbing baby seals or racking up human rights violations in the process?

Does he prioritize moral conscience above business profit? Lots of successful CEOs don’t care who or what they destroy on the way to becoming a famous billionaire. Is Musk one of them?

Does he use his personal fortune for good? Bill and Melinda Gates aim to give away 95 percent of their wealth to charity and have aimed to get rid of polio by 2018. Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have similar aims with their eponymous initiative. Where does Musk’s philanthropy fall?

There are many ways Musk can contribute to his country. Las Vegas is currently undergoing a water scarcity, maybe if Musk made an effort and spent a little of his petty cash, he would be able to actually make a difference. He did tweet that he will remove the lead contamination out of the water supply in Las Vegas.

By the pricking of my thumbs, let’s see Musks CSR efforts to the world!
