>Pure speculation, but my guess is that he’s invested in the commercial real estate market and hoping for a turnaround. I don’t think it’s some profound or insane ideology he has, I think he’s just trying to prop up CRE like he does with crypto.

We should assume any public statements on morality from powerful people out of the blue are motivated by a secondary factor.

You don't even need that rule of thumb here. I believe Elon's very public tantrums on and regarding Twitter have shown that he lacks even basic integrity. The gall that he would discuss what is or is not moral from that position.

It must be some form of gaslighting for an obviously amoral person to make public announcements of moral platitudes. Why people agree with them is beyond me, is there perverse pleasure in being deeply wrong?

Being a billionaire in America transforms the person in some kind of super hero. People are mentally incapable to disagree with them, even on basic topics that everyone knows are wrong. The media exploits this every day.

Elon has shown us all how to make a small fortune in social media. It’s not his fault that we don’t have 40 billion to burn buying a 20 billion business with a 13 billion mortgage
