Elon Musk is what happens when an autistic reddit troll makes billions of dollars.He hates people who try to abuse 'science' to push political/profit based agenda's, like the Wu Flu shit.
Also, Musk is on his own side; it just happens it's a side with a low tolerance for obvious bullshit and he's got enough power of his own to be able to shrug off most of the attacks people could try to level at him.
Remember when he clowned on Bernie Sanders by saying 'I forgot you were still alive' and called Senator Warren 'Senator Karen'?
It can be quite entertaining.
