    He does the Nazi salute on the big stage and it shocked when he gets a collective middle finger salute back.

    On the other hand, he went with Trump. Everybody going that way gets burned, used up, and thrown away. That things wouldn’t work out was expected. It’s also suspected that Musk would be used as the wrecking ball to crush institutions and when the inevitable problems arise, Musk would be blamed and tossed aside to keep the rest of the regime in the clear.

        Most CEOs do try to stay out of the spotlight. Those that are more in the spotlight at least try to do some positive PR and not rock the boat too much. Security through obscurity if you will.
