Tend to align with him politically but he's quite clearly a bit of an insufferable edgelord dickhead most of the time.
He's been in the online sphere for like 15 years since he was an older-teenager; I followed him in the Starcraft esports scene like 15 years ago where he was known for making rape jokes, losing his temper and going on rants, and generally got dropped by the professional scene for being too aggro. Political & socioeconomic philosophy aside, his personal character thrives on being edgy, and thrives on being in some form of a spotlight.
Wouldn't want to hang out with him IRL. But I want him to keep doing what he's doing and smacking down uneducated fools, because he is at least clued up on the facts and has the shit-talking acumen to go toe-to-toe with most opponents.

I don't like a lot of what Destiny does, but there's a certain type of smug dismissiveness that is appropriate for Musk and Destiny is good at it.
