. . . But, Musk No Personal Hero

But, Elon Musk is not a hero of mine. No, it is not because, to some, he is a tax-funded billionaire.

I laud him for who he is and what he has done for our world, but a personal hero, no. Musk showed up at a party in Florida last month dressed as Marquis de Sade (1740-1815), a French writer best known for his erotic tales. Musk joked that the costume was popular with women who had read Fifty Shades of Grey, a book known for its explicitly erotic scenes.

That one choice of costumes does not sit well with me, as it does seem it probably reflects on his values.
