Definitely not me. I was a huge Musk fan back in 2014. These days I'm less thrilled with his new focus on politics, but Tesla and SpaceX are more than just Musk and we're far better off having them. If not for these companies, we'd probably still be convinced by legacy auto that EVs weren't practical and nobody wanted them, and by legacy aerospace that reusable rockets were a bad idea and only large government-run projects could get to orbit.

And that's just the beginning. Between Starship and FSD, the impact of these two companies could end up far greater than what we've seen so far. It'd be a shame to miss out on the sci-fi wonder of it all just due to the CEO's personality and politics.
