Greed.
And hubris.

PayPal was doing payments before Musk joined the company (he didn't start it, wasn't his idea). He was thrown out of PayPal after being there for only a few months.... He did a blinder with Paypal,...
There are many similar people who do similar things, it's no difference from the persons in the pub having a conversation about it other then if you're wealthy outlets like media are a bit more interested.What makes Musk think that because he's rich he can start interfering in political governance in other countries? His now outspoken support for AfD seems to have cause a bit of an outcry in Germany (outside AfD supporters).
I do think Musk he dones some thngs right that proved more than just being in the right place at the same time. However that doesn't mean the best place for him is at the absolute top of a company with nobody being able to stop him. He did pretty well at Paypal because he wasn't at the absolute top he tried to rename Paypal to X before but his paypal co-owners didn't agree and thus it didn't happen.Personally I don't regard him as being particularly clever. He may be rich but people can get rich from being in the right place at the right time. I once worked for an "entrepreneur" who was pretty poor at business but created his successful company because he was "right place right time" and he took the opportunity (he actually had little choice about taking it). I consider Musk the same. If he was good businessman he would not be destroying other people's investment in Twitter.
i don't agree whilst i don't agree with the goals of those tearing down the country against ''immigrants'' only weeks prior a other groups was tearing down some area's of the country because one of them got stepped on the head whilst abusing security guards/airport police it really doesn't take more then willing to not look the other way to see that first group is handled much more aggressively in terms of prosecution and then i'm not only talking about those trying to torch and hotel with people in there. (i would say harsher punishment for those is justified)But even if he thinks he's a good business person what make him start thinking he's good at politics and determining legislatures, particularly where others rather than himself will be suffering the consequences of his misjudgements. He seems to have moved beyond "self-interest" in his interference in UK and German politics.
Well if that's you're definition of stupid Musk and many others certainly are. But it's also a important driver for why some people are more succesfull then others.I rather arrogantly regard myself as pretty good at one discipline but recognise that I'm very poor at many other things. I consider it a sign of a stupid person when they cannot recognise their own limitations.

He's a weapons grade bellend.
And as we plebs sit here hurling insults, which makes us feel a bit superior, the world's richest man laughs and counts his money...which undoubtedly makes him feel a lot superior.

So he's not directly proposing it, just supporting it. And much will depend on him not falling out with Trump and his retaining power, etc.Elon Musk agrees with Ron Paul's call to 'ELIMINATE foreign aid'
Billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk, who President-elect Donald Trump tapped to lead the new cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), agreed with former Rep. Ron Paul's suggestion that the U.S. should end foreign aid.
"Here’s an easy one for @DOGE !" Paul declared in a post on X. "ELIMINATE foreign aid!"
