I think these two aspects are inexorably intertwined, the same personality trait.
On the plus side, you get first principles thinking, bull in a china shop unstoppability. You get important progress in rocket technology (reuse and radically lower cost per kg delivered). You get electric vehicles that people want to buy, at scale, after decades of slow walking by the rest of the industry.
On the minus side, you get the naive notion that Twitter could be made radically more "free" without turning into a cesspool that loses the bulk of its mainstream audience.
