Just curious how one of the richest people on the planet is a grifter?
Was he a grifter when he founded Tesla? Space X? Bought Twitter?
I think it's a reasonable conversation to have when an individual like Faucci or Pelosi or Obama start working for the government with little or no wealth but amass very large fortunes while in the service of the country. It's quite a different story IMO when the wealth is developed on their own and prior to entering government service like Musk. I understand and respect how Musk earned his wealth. I am still trying to figure out exactly how Faucci and Pelosi got so wealthy.

The info is out there if you want to dig for it on Google. I've also watched a few documentaries about his "techno ponzi schemes" on Youtube and Bitchute as well.
He takes taxpayer money and private investment and at best produces a sub-par product, but in most cases he doesn't produce a product at all. It's fraud. A grift. He's told investors about "driverless cars" since 2014 and he still hasn't produced one; nearly every year he says it's only a year or so away. Same with many of his other ventures.(Space X "going to Mars", Neuralink, robots, AI)
How can one of the richest men in the world be a criminal? Other rich people, like Elizabeth Holmes for example, have went to prison, for fraud, for way less... ("Elizabeth Anne Holmes (born February 3, 1984) is an American biotechnology entrepreneur who was convicted of fraud in connection with her blood-testing company, Theranos.")
Musk grew up wealthy just like this woman did. A dirt farmer in Tennessee or a person in an inner city housing project aren't gonna have the same opportunities to "earn their wealth" as you put it. But the problem really isn't the wealth, it's the fraud.
And as Frank rightly pointed out, it's a conflict of interest to put him in charge of "government efficiency" unless he no longer takes a dime of tax money(in any form) for his SpaceX or Tesla companies, or anything else.
All that said, I'm a realist. He's gonna keep doing what he does and I wont lose an ounce of sleep over it.
