You have to be a special kind of stupid to think Musk is unique among billionaires.

His only 'uniqueness' is the brand that's attached to his name. If you notice, he behaves exactly like all other celebrity billionaires, such as Trump and Kanye.

Every controversy is just free advertising for their brands.

You'll notice OP wasn't comparing billionaires, they were comparing automotive CEOs. So that's a scarecrow argument. All of the other automotive CEOs have an order of magnitude less wealth than Musk.

He has the wealth of a nation state and owns one of the world's largest social media sites, a rocket company, a car company, and actively promotes far-right hate speech and meddles in international politics.

At least he isn't giving out copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The automotive CEO most similar to Musk is probably Henry Ford, and I'm honestly not sure which one is worse.

Well, one is dead... So not much you can do about him now

At least he isn’t giving out copies of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

Considering his feelings about Jews, it's only a matter of time.

Trump, Kanye, musk etc are the weird ones. Very wealthy people are actually likely to hide from the public and only seek the attention of their ridiculously wealthy peers or whomever they want to ~~buy~~ influence, not from the entire world population with every brainfart they produce. It's just the very top few has a hard time avoiding it because they're on top of the lists and stand out. Kanye or trump are still * far* away from that wealthiest top. Look at the list of 1bn-80bn worth person: many you'll barely have heard of before, if at all. It gets even more so if you ditch the Anglo-Saxon centered view on the list and look at the most wealthy people in China, Middle East etc
