I'm no fan of Musk's shitty and arrogant behaviour. His treatment of Unsworth was truly disgusting.

But that's like saying after a rugby game that the left wing deserved far more of the credit than the coach or captain, since they were the one who ran in the winning try.

The thing is that Musk makes things happen. Not in some lame and purely money driven field like crypto or ad tech - but genuinely moving the needle in combating climate change.

I feel I have to cut him some slack and laud his achievements, even though he comes across as a person you would involuntarily punch in the face for his hideous behaviour.



Gwynne Shotwell is the coach in this hypothetical, while Musk is just the mascot.


No, it's more like saying the left winger deserves more credit than some stupid fan who jumped onto the pitch and got in the way.
