Take on the antisemitic Elon Musk

Has anybody's career arc been more pronounced that Elon Musk? The world admired him for his vision for space travel and his leadership for electric cars even if he didn't actually invent either. But rhe criticism that he only got rich off of others idea never bother me, if somebody invented a way to turn water into wine today, you'd still need a visionary to bring it to market and then a salesman to sell it, and there is no doubt that Elon can sell. The issue is that he went from media darling to third rail
Grotesque almost overnight and his latest public obsession with antisemitism seems to fit the lifestyle pretty well when you consider he was a white dude growing up in apartheid South Africa.
