I think there's a difference between bullying and calling out asshole behaviour.
Elon Musk is fair game because he's a total twat to everyone around him. If he was nice to everyone it would be a different matter.
He could be nice to everyone, it's totally possible, he'd still be rich as hell his asshole behaviour did not make him rich, it isn't an excuse and it isn't a requirement.
I was going to say maybe he’d be less rich cuz a big problem with asshole behavior is greed and not paying a living wage and hoarding BUT then in not being an asshole he’d also be using up less money irresponsibly to hurt and annoy others.
He was rich anyway though. If he actually gets starship to work (and he will because basically the hard part has been solved it now just needs scaling) he will be the richest human alive he doesn't need to be an asshole to do that.
However I do think that Tesla is a bit of a boondoggle at this point, there are better electric cars out there now. But they change the industry they forced the industry to develop electric vehicles because they otherwise wouldn't have done.
More like:
He isn't calling out Elon Musk. He's calling anyone who likes Elon a loser.
That's asshole behavior, and I'm willing to bet that he justifies it by claiming that everyone he's targeting is morally inferior and deserves to be ridiculed.
