Say what you will, he doesn't have to do what he does, and it's shitty to attack someone.

I don't think Elons plans will work out in the long run, but it's a whole lot better that he be looking to create a fantastic world than to sit around doing nothing with his money and efforts. He could just be making bank off paypay for the rest of his life, but he chose to do something better.

That's commendable, and to call this guy a villain or accuse him of hating the poor is a shitty thing to do.

That said, I'm all for criticizing his treatment of workers, the supposed ignoring of safety in factories, and the likes. This comic and tone just goes way too damn far and exaggerates the bad while ignoring the good.
