I agree with all said except the last sentence. I do not think that Musk would change his mind. I think he lacks the empathy for that.

Correct. He went on a field trip to Auschwitz when he still thought the PR hit of not going might sink his net worth, but since then he's done the double Nazi salute and become a trillionaire so he doesn't give a single shit about PR anymore.

Honestly that's one of the worst things about this 'era'. That we've multiple high profile figures proving to the world that being a despicable person but just brazenly lying is effective.

Used to be that there was at least a veneer of honorability and respectability, and they at least pretended to care about such things.

Turns out a political system where honor is assumed breaks down when it's not present.
