    This is why I’m not a fan of sites like financial times. They should stick to facts. This just sounds like sour grapes and these articles are useless rants.

      The world's first trillionaire. Likely father to dozens of children with various women, based on unusual ideology. Runs a spaceship company. Penchant for extreme politics and fascination with nazism. Pulls strings at the highest levels of government. Weird-looking, with a foreign (ie: foreign to Great Britain) accent.

      If he didn't actually exist, Ian Fleming would have to invent him.

      That said, this sort of article is pointless because the public know plenty about Musk, and already have decided whether they love him or hate him.

        Too much social media and tweeting for a Bond villain. Putin always seems a bit like a Bond villain and has the creepy murderous thing down.

      This has to be an unserious comment. Can you substantiate any of your claims?

            For context, their comment read:

              Way to make it about jews you anti-semite. Let me guess you spent the last decade calling Trump a Nazi only to find out he is a Zionist.
            Kinda weird that someone would erase such a specific accusation. I've seen dozens of dishonest provocateurs on HN do this exact thing, so I copied their comment in anticipation of eventual cowardice.

            I wonder what type of person makes six-number throwaways all day, only to delete their anonymous comments?

      Why do you say "We". I doubt you gave multiculturalism your best shot.

      If you can only express the conviction of your ideas behind a throwaway account then they’re not really convictions are they?
