When you take a highly intelligent nerd, give him tons of money, and make him where others opinions either don’t matter or at least acts as if they don’t matter, anyone that doesn’t agree with him will become extremely nervous. This really comes into play when he has his own platform where he CAN’T be silenced. Now, add in a sense of humor where this man carry’s a sink into a new business where most employees hate him, he still laughs it off and gradually makes great changes. After all this this incredible man has no problem acknowledging his weak points and faults, all while still laughing, makes opponents scared because they don’t understand people like this, so they go on the attack instead of trying to understand him.

Very well said. Good insights. You know, many people don't understand how special it is to have Elon. In our history, in the last 100 years, we have not had anyone like Elon. This is unprecedented. To have someone who is actually kind and compassionate, who is wielding so much power. I'm not trying to insult anyone, but the powerful tycoons have never had the public's interest in mind, and they have actively avoided helping the citizens at every turn. This is a revolutionary time, that is magnificent and special, because we have people like Elon. Without people like Elon, we would have entered into the world of "1984" in earnest. We are not entering that world. We are creating a new world, with the help of benevolent leaders and CEO's, where people can actually enjoy life.

Great job and congratulations on "making it back onto twitter". Freedom of speech is also a great topic in my homecountry (Germany). So I'm grateful for Elon going through all of this - for ALL of us - to step in and put his foot down. Love it !!! We shall overcome, all colours (of course) and: the light has already won.

One of the things I admire most about Elon is his consistent ability to move right to the center or the foundation of a complex web of competing interests and conflicting points of view. He goes right to the heart of the issue, and does this so effortlessly, so gracefully. This kind of intelligence cannot be faked or offered up on cue.
