My criticism is mostly around not believing what he says are his primary motives. 3 quick examples come to mind:

1- when he sold 10B of tsla stock based on a poll. Don't buy he hadn't already decided to do it in advance and was more likely trying to quell any fear it might stir up.

2 - Twitter closing off api due to ddos attacks shortly after he took over. Sounds more like closing faucet off for AI competition to me, especially given they kept it closed

3 - DOGE position came up randomly in some interview with trump, and became real soon after. Seems planned prior in hindsight

Elon Musk hates privacy
