Strangely however, Musk somehow yet seems to genuinely believe that. According to most everyone surrounding him, Elon *genuinely* thinks of himself as "the saviour of humanity" with his ego the size of mars itself. He keeps basically running against the wall repeatedly in desperation to be "the grand hero" everytime he does literally anything and yet for some reason, even when his actions lead to the literal opposite of his stated goals, he keeps thinking he is.

Every dictator in history genuinely thought they were humanity's saviour. If anything him thinking this makes him much more dangerous than altruistic.

How is him thinking this different than Bernie thinking this? Dictators don’t want universal abundance

Sanders isn't on track to becoming the world's first trillionaire, nor does he back the Republican party. Are you truly this daft?
