Elon Musk is far from the only person in the United States critiquing government power but few others, if any, do so in quite such a self-owning way as the obscenely wealthy and powerful Musk.
Most recently, he shared a quote from Dune author Frank Herbert that commented on the oft-quoted phrase originally sent from Lord Acton to Bishop Creighton "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely," while seemingly not understanding that Herbert's words could just as easily be applied to himself.
"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible."
As usual, Musk seems completely incapable of self-reflection to see how this quote could apply to the oligarch-level power that he currently holds just as easily as it applies to members of government. Not to mention to the criminally corrupt Trump he appears implicitly politically aligned with.
It didn't take long for people to point out that Musk might want to take a look in a mirror, though.
Despite Musk's utter lack of self-awareness, there are plenty of people willing to point out his flaws and hypocrisies for him on his own site.
Too bad it doesn't seem like he's willing to acknowledge or learn from his own mistakes.
