And resigning because he was working on a competitor was completely the right thing to do. It would have been a conflict of interest. How often does that type of integrity even happen nowadays? The whole "ELON MUSK BAD NOW" change to the zeitgeist is alarming to me. He was the darling of the left for years because of Tesla and SpaceX, but now he's completely persona non grata for...reasons? It smacks of excommunication for heresy.

He got richer so he must be bad.

How you can build a successful car company in the US without getting super rich, I don't know.
