I love everything about this.

Musk doing shit, without asking anyone, and showing that Shit Can Get Done, even in this ossified day and age. Fuck everyone that says No. Here it is, fuckers.

I love the blind white rage of people who expect an Apple-level fit and finish to Musk's every seat-of-the-pants hare-brained project. The whining of entitled "thought-leaders" who get upset by a guy who lives to do nothing other than upset the accepted status quo.

He's what happens when a marginal Chaotic Good/Chaotic Evil gets a lot of cash, and a head of steam. "Fuck it. Let's try this crazy idea out, and see how many people we can piss off."

The vast majority of punk rock music was utterly unlistenable. But all of it needed to happen to show there was another way to do things.

Musk is the most punk rock guy in business today. He doesn't even ask "why not?", he just does stuff. And in doing so, breaks down the perceived barriers that have prevented everyone else from trying.

The Emperor has no clothes, and Musk is pointing the spotlight.
