He has contributed to humanity with the first widespread proliferation of electric cars (though he has since been replaced in the #1 electric automaker position by BYD) and Starlink/SpaceX, but his deregulation of X has led to hate speech, his handling of DOGE has illegally wiped out the jobs of many government workers without actually eliminating waste or fraud, and his incredible wealth and influence is being misused to support alt-right parties across the world, such as AfD.

Well that's the understatement of the century!
What did poor Lewis Carol do to deserve this?

Yeah, while giving them Teslas, social media, and future technology in return.

He makes Teslas to get richer,
not as some charity.
He does not give them away for free.
The purpose of social media is to
gather information about users
and sell it.
Tell me, what future technology
did he personally invent?
Is it given away for free?
Would the world be a worce place
if he only had 10 billions?
Would he starve?
Would people in USA
be worse off?
Elon Musk uses X to further his agenda.
And that agenda is only for his benefit!

Bro, of course he didn't give it away for free. He did something for us, now we do something for him. That is how capitalism works. And yes the world would be a worse place if he only had 10 billions because that would imply that he didn't do as much for us.
People in the USA would be much worse off because if Elon Musk cannot get money for his services, then why would you expect that you would?

Elon Musk having that much money means:
The workers in USA didn't get paid for their work!
That works because the politicians are bribed,
and turns the workplace laws
and the market laws to the benefit
of the rich!
Capitalism isn't:
benefit the rich.
It is fair competition and
giving alternatives in the markets.
We don't have capitalism now!
Bribed politicians work
to the benefit of the rich,
not to the benefit of the
common man.
Here is a funny thought:
Elon Musk owns everything and
have all the money in USA.
Nobody else owns anything.
What a happy place USA would be, right?
The guy is living proof you can't buy status.
