There are people great for depending on, and there are people great for following. Even if from far away. They are still great. Just in a different way.

That's an interesting perspective, one I had never thought about yet rings absolutely true.

Agreed. Also, it reminded me of that quote by Colin Powell - "you'll know you're a good leader when people follow you if only out of curiosity"

For better or for worse, a lot of those less-good parts of his public life are public, and made public by him.

That's not accidental.

I think the flaws actually help him. It protects the ego of his followers. (Musk is more succesful, hard working, .... but he is an asshole) Many people are already irratioanlly triggered by him because their ego compares themselve to Musk. Would be way worse if he would act normal in Puplic ... and less PR of course
