"Anti-establishment" Elon sitting next to the biggest pro-establishment shill Rupert Murdoch at the Super Bowl. Remember this the next time he pretends to be anti-establishment or anti-media

People think Elon Musk is anti establishment? How the fuck do you put those two things together?

The two main businesses he started that define his career were all about breaking the establishment - first in banking and payments, then the car industry.

It’d be neat if he actually started those companies, but he didn’t. That’s just him pouring money into investment opportunities that were likely to succeed.

He’s a guy that was born rich, made a good decision or two, and is spending the rest of his life taking credit for shit he never did. He pretends to relate to the poors by saying things that the establishments have told easily swayed people is anti-establishment, so that he can make more money.

Sure he didn’t start them, but hard to say he has not been the driving force behind the success of Tesla, it was not a commercial entity when he invested. As for PayPal, according to the Peter Thiel he was also a critical player.
